Vivisected bodies washing up on the Lackawanna River, the kidnapping of a mercenary team, and a theft of organ transplant anti-rejection medicine from Gotham City garners the attention of Batman. He sends Ace into the fray with the Master Thespian (as Humphrey Bogart), Trickshot (as Christopher Lee portraying Van Helsing), and Taki to sort out a web of murder and kidnapping in the name of "science".
Knights Vigilant Adventures
- Do you live in New York City?
- Will you defend the City and all its citizens?
- Does a hero charge money for their deeds?
Two "yes"ses and then one "no!" qualify you to join the street-level hero team of the five boroughs, where Tuesday nights are "teamwork practice" via skirmishes against the Disco Boys in Central Park and Thursday nights are Hero Night for the all-you-can-eat buffet at Darren's Pizza in Queens.

Mudslinging
Political eventKnights Vigilant: Mudslinging
In American politics, the tactic of 'mudslinging' is considered a dirty trick that reflects badly on the candidate or lobbying group who use it. Yet in other parts of New York City's culture, mudslinging campaigns are used as a matter of routine! What makes Sam any more deserving of indignity than Caleb?

Grip of the Mind Thieves
Criminal ActivityFrom a diabolical affliction performed on their allies, Mouse Force, to a string of crimes that seem unrelated aside that the thieves were suffering from artificially induced meta powers and technological mind control! Could this mean the return of that master of mental technology, DR. OVERMIND? Or is this a plot far more sinister that threatens the locals of New York City?
Tales of Justice is a work of pure, unabashed fiction. In fact, it considers itself rather heroic and quite proud of itself. Names of characters, places, events, organizations, and locations are creations of the author's imagination for this fictitious setting. Some have been inspired by other sources, which will be credited at the top right of the article.
Permission is not granted to use this material to feed a so-called Artificial Intelligence chatbot.
Any resemblance to persons living, dead, or reanimated is coincidental. The opinions expressed are those of the characters and should not be confused with either of the authors, since the characters and authors tend to disagree a lot.
