Three villains, the gorilla Grodd, King Shark, and Killer Croc, took to the streets in mayhem.<br/><br/>One unnamed source assured the Herald that the city would have been doomed had it not been for the intervention of three members of the Justice League who battled selflessly and heroically. Witnesses report that Nightwing and Robin valiantly fought off the attackers, but were critically injured in the course of defending Gotham. No news on the health status of either was available.<br/><br/>“It was like they came out of nowhere,” Sally Johnson a bystander to the events explained. “The three evil creatures just kept rampaging and then those three angels saved us.”<br/><br/>Using a number of bystander accounts the Herald was able to piece together much of what happened. The three assailants set on inflicting as much damage as possible were positioned at the top of Fourth Avenue. As they barreled down the street, the police were nearly helpless in their attempts to stop them. Nightwing and Robin expertly bought as much time as they could, ultimately forced to halt their efforts due to life-threatening injury.<br/><br/>Three members of the Justice League appeared out of thin air –Wonder Woman, Zatan, and Gotham’s own Batman were on the scene and leapt into action. The three quickly dispatched the villains with minimal damage. While few details of the actual battle are available, it was described that at one point Grodd was encased in a block of ice. <br/><br/>After the battle, the Justice League approached local law enforcement about booking and incarcerating the perpetrators. Without sufficient facilities for the unique criminals the onsite supervisor was at a loss. Without hesitation, the Justice League generously offered their facilities until court dates could be arranged.<br/><br/>“We have more to thank them for than our city – we have our lives!” Sally Johnson proclaimed.<br/><br/>It seems the Justice League once again saved our city from the menacing evil lurking in the darkness, likely saving billions of additional dollars in damage.<br/><br/>-Mark Koderick<br/><br/></div><hr/>
