Finally, our vote has
named Bane as the ideal
candidate. With his diverse
skill set, he will attract the
best of the worst and bring
down Gotham City. His leadership
skills will allow him to build a team
of the worst criminals and meet
our expectations. What’s more, his
knowledge of and familiarity with Ve-

Your mission, then, is to bring him
back to Gotham City. Explain to him

TEAM COMPOSITION
•--•-•---
In this campaign, the roles are switched. The villains’1
side plays using the turn structure of the heroes’ side.
The hero’s side plays using the turn structure of the
villain’s side.
The campaign is played with a team of three villains,
all of whom must be chosen at the beginning. It is not
possible to modify this team between two missions.
The villain team consists of the following:
-- First member of the team : Bane
-- For the second member of the team, you may
choose: The Riddler, The Penguin, or Scarecrow;

--~~


-- For the third member of the team, you may choose:
The Joker, Harley Quinn, or Two-Face.

~~~
During mission setup, a villain who has the command
L _ _ _ _ _ _j
skill must choose the tile indicated by the mission.

:) B,

BANE (VENOM INJECTED)

---•----- AlÎ

In each mission, Bane may inject himself with Venom

in order to transform into Bane (Venom injected).
1
To do so, the villain controlling Bane must declare it
at the end of the Declare Villains’ Stance step. They
then flip over the villain screen to the Bane (Venom
injected) side and replace Bane’s miniature with that
of Bane (Venom injected). For the remainder of the
mission, that player controls Bane (Venom injected).

BE CAREFUL to avoid spoilers during this campaign. Read ONLY the prologue of your current mission and ONLY
when prompted to do so.
A TOAST P.8
“I think you will find our new partnership to be perfect,
Bane. Your power, rage, and iron will, combined with
our means and numbers will allow us to break Gotham
City once and for all. But first, we must destroy the old
to make way for the new. Once we’ve toppled these
long-standing structures and shattered the stren-
gth and spirit of the citizens, we shall build the city
anew—a city in our own image! I see your mercena-
ries have finished planting the explosives. Tonight we
shall begin with City Hall. When this symbol of autho-
rity and order crashes to the street in a cloud of dust
and debris, Gotham City will fall to its knees. And, of
course, the explosion will bring the GCPD in full force,
leaving us free to enact the second phase of our plan.
And what do you know? They’re here already. Qui-
ckly, we must prime the explosives and prepare for the
show…”
L _)L
THE BEST MAN’S BETRAYAL P.12
“We managed to escape with the Venom, but the cops
seemed to come out of nowhere. I smell a rat. Someone
tipped them off! I don’t know wh—
Batman! The Bat is here! How does he know about this
place? The Court and I are the only ones who knew of
this location! You! You betrayed me! You birds are gon-
na pay!“
“Quit your wailing, Bane. You served our interests well,
but you’re no longer needed. You can forget about my
troops; they belong to me once more. But I thank you
for your hand in giving them an upgrade. Oh, and I
would be careful. Now that Batman knows it was you
behind the attack, he’s coming for you. You know how
relentless he can be. Haha! Goodbye, Bane, and thanks
for all your help!”
“Arrggh! I will find your headquarters! You hear me?! I
will find you and I will BREAK YOU!”

ICING ON THE CAKE P.10
“Despite the GCPD’s best efforts, the city has been
running scared since we detonated the bombs. Others
have followed our example and have shown up as well.
The police are completely overwhelmed! And this is
just the beginning, Bane. Now we must quickly finish
the Venom production. Once your mercs are able to
enhance themselves just like you, nothing will stand
against us! The police are probably already on our trail,
but they are nothing but flies against our might. Once
the cargo is ready, we need only transport it to the
nearest hideout. From there we can begin distribution
and create an unstoppable super-human strike force.
Victory is near, but not yet at han—
Ah yes, here they are now. Ready yourselves! Protect
the production lines and load the Venom for transport!”
_)
THE HONEYMOON IS OVER P.14
“After sorting the evidence, I managed to find one of
their nests. And this isn’t just any hideout; it’s a bank!
Not only will we glut our vengeance, we’ll also fill
our pockets. As they say, money makes the world go
‘round, so if we follow the money, we should be able to
undermine their entire organization. First, we’ll drain
their accounts. Then we’ll gather information on all
members of the Court and expose them. Let’s see how
well they hide in the open.
Of course, this won’t be a walk in the park. They know
we’re coming for them and that we’re low on time
and resources. Not to mention, the bank is guarded
full-time by the police. This may be our one chance to
crush them before we end up with the entire city on
our backs.
The time for vengeance has come! Time to break
our enemies and take what’s ours!”

To indicate this, the computer token is removed from

CALL FOR HELP: when 3 connections to the network are
established, Nightwing comes to lend a hand to the
heroes. To do so, the hero turns over the inactive rein-
forcement token to reveal its active side. This
token’s area is now considered a rein-
forcement area. They then place the
Nightwing tile in the first posi-
tion of the river. The Night-
wing miniature is placed in

his life point marker is
placed on the com-
mand post.
