... and his Bat Family in a match of who can do a better job of securing each others' turf.
A duplicate version of the Batcave, but not Wayne Manor, has been transported into a relatively out of the way, though not completely unreachable by outsiders, site that still contains his more mundane equipment and vehicles such as the Batmobile, Batplane, and Batbike, etc.. Batman's space assets, aside from satellites used purely for surveillance purposes, as well as gadgets and technology of alien origin and/or design such as Boom Tubes, Yellow Lantern Ring, and Mother Box have all crumbled into dust or rendered completely inert and unable to be fixed. The Batcomputer boots up with a notification that order must be brought to the planet or that Gotham and the planet he is currently on will be destroyed (he is automatically compelled to believe this), the computer also provides basic information about Nostramo such as its ruling families, major centers of criminal and non-criminal activity, and the general layout of the Hive and planet itself.
Konrad Curze is magically transported into a dark and unoccupied alley in the middle of Gotham, his armor and weapons magically turning into dust before his very eyes, leaving him in his Emperor-themed underoos. Curze has no clue where he is and initially has nothing on hand to give him any indication on what to do, except for a note pinned to a nearby wall notifying him that he has to rid the city of crime and corruption or his beloved planet and the city he is in will be destroyed (he too is automatically compelled to believe this). Behind the note is another page that provides a list of names and aliases of Gotham's most notorious criminals as well as any associated metahuman qualities they possess and their MOs, but nothing else to go along with these names, not even a picture.
There will be no outside assistance for either party, Nostramo has a completely unbreakable and impassable planetary shield that can neither accept anything going in or out of the planet through mundane or magical means, and for all intents and purposes went poof from the Imperium's star charts and psykers, Gotham has been similarly shielded off from outside intervention of all types and escape by any means.
- Batman and crew are given 5 years to reign in Nostramo's criminal element and bring order to the Hive.
- Kurze is provided 3 months to do the same for Gotham.
- No one on Nostramo is initially aware of Batman's arrival.
- All of Gotham's major criminal elements are considered active for the duration of this setup, no one is initially aware of Kurze's presence.
- Nostramo is in the crime-ridden state it was in prior to Curze taking over the planet.
- Both parties are in-character.
- New/Pre-52 feats for Batman and crew are applicable.
- Kurze is in his Pre-Chaos aligned state, after he managed to bring peace to Nostramo and before he met the Emperor.
Who would be more likely to succeed in their aim of bringing order from relative chaos within the allotted time period?
*Seems I messed up on the formatting, could anyone provide any suggestions or a moderator please fix it so the text appears below the pictures? I would very much appreciate it.
