But while he'd managed to settle most superhuman crime there was still a distinct issue with the more conventional crime that plagued the streets. Particularly after the injuries sustained by Robin while fending off Croc, Shark and Grodd. The villains were staying quiet but every two bit gangster with a gun was making the most of the lack of the Bat. But unfortunately for them the new face of vigilantism in Gotham was not the merciful one it had been for so long. Rather it was a red hooded gunman more than comfortable gunning down the criminals in cold blood. It had only been a few days and already his body count was in the dozens and rapidly spiraling. Every mob boss in the city had put out a hit on him, but so far it seemed a show down with the vigilante was a death sentence.<br/><br/>Only yesterday he had taken down a drug operation alone, raiding a warehouse on Gotham's docks and butchering the criminals. The brutality of the attacks was shocking even to the officers who responded, but they couldn't deny his efficiency. Most media was leaping on the story either acclaiming him as a necessary evil, a hero who was cleaning the streets in the harsh but necessary manner Gotham needed others described him as a manic individual with unlicensed weapons and an obsession with violence. The GCPD were unable to let him continue operating, but so far every attempt to apprehend him had shown how absurdly skilled the man was. Ordinarily they might have called for Batman, but their crusader was wrapped up in a plot that could have implications globally and though it hurt he couldn't return to Gotham. And so instead he sent a message to the GCPD that the Justice League would put an end to the killings.<br/><br/>Some of Batman's more questionable contacts provided reliable information that a group of several crime bosses, including the Falcones and Maronis, would be meeting in a private location to make plans to put down this new thorn in their side permanently. Rumour has it that it's to be held at the Falcones mansion, a known epicenter for crime that goes untouched due to the family's vast influence. Any attempt to approach by the GCPD would be doomed to discovery and cause the whole meet to be called off. But the League's members were less locally known and watched, and they had skills that could get them in anywhere. There was a social evening event being held at the mansion in order to conceal the real underground aspect. It was thought highly likely that this would be the Red Hood's best opportunity to wipe these crime bosses out and so a key opportunity to apprehend him.<br/><br/>The GCPD placed two plans in to place. One approach would utilise stealth skills to sneak onto the property, remaining at the perimeter or rooftop and staking out carefully in order to wait for the strike. The other was to use disguises and trickery to enter the Mansion's social event, mingling idly with the guests so as to be in the middle of the action if anything was to occur. The unfortunate downside being having to disarm, and wear impractical attire for a combat situation against a highly armed and skilled combatant. Either way the League's members would meet with a small hand-picked group of GCPD officers in a stakeout van parked a few streets from the meeting. There they could collate information and assess the plan before making an entrance.<br/>
