The gas

Batman and Robin had faced the Joker's bizarre schemes countless times before, but his latest attack was unlike anything they had encountered.

The gas had spread through Gotham with terrifying speed, affecting ordinary citizens and leaving chaos in its wake. At first, Batman assumed it was simply another chemical weapon designed to cause confusion. Then he and Robin began experiencing strange symptoms themselves.

Their bodies were changing.

The gas had a particularly devastating effect on male DNA, triggering transformations that neither of them could reverse. Within hours, the two heroes realised that continuing to operate under their old identities was impossible.

Their costumes no longer fitted properly. Their voices had changed, their appearances were different, and even their fingerprints and biological identities had been altered.

Batman stared at his reflection in silence.

For the first time in his career, Bruce Wayne could no longer simply put on the cowl and become Batman.

Robin faced the same impossible situation.

They had two choices: disappear until they could find a cure, or create entirely new identities and continue protecting Gotham.

Neither of them was willing to abandon the city.

So Batman and Robin did something they had never imagined they would have to do.

They changed their costumes, their names, and their identities.

But beneath the new disguises, they remained the same determined heroes—and they were going to find the Joker before his latest attack permanently changed Gotham forever.
