Gotham, day: Clouds dilute the sun's rays from bright golden beams to a pervasive gray glare that looms over back alleys and parking lot roofs, sending all sorts of vermin (from rats to crime bosses) scuttling back into the holes out of which they had crawled overnight.

And nine million people, slipping through their daily routine like thread through new fabric: nine million people he can save from the horrors of the night as long as he never goes toe-to-toe with the subtler evil of the day.
