The Dark Knight of Gotham City confronts a dastardly duo: Two-Face and the
Riddler. Formerly District Attorney Harvey Dent, Two-Face incorrectly believes
Batman caused the courtroom accident which left him disfigured on one side; he
has unleashed a reign of terror on the good people of Gotham. The Riddler is a
disgruntled inventor who worked for Wayne Enterprises and is terribly jealous of
Wayne's success and sophistication and uses his riddles to show his superiority
over Wayne and Batman. As the Riddler perfects a device for draining information
from all the brains in Gotham, including Bruce Wayne's knowledge of his other
identity, Batman struggles to uncover the true identity and intentions of the
Riddler. The music reflects and exemplifies the image that Gotham is still a
dark and foreboding place in which Batman begins to come to grips with his own
psychology as he relives the deaths of his parents in his dreams. Fast action
and musical intrigue make this show a challenging and driving force for the
percussion ensemble.
