You were one of many journalists making up the Gotham City News population. Sure, you were one of the younger employees there, in fact, you were mistaken for an intern a lot of the time, to which every time you had to clarify that you were a qualified journalist, with an honours degree.
So what if you were ten years younger than the likes of Vicki Vale or Jack Ryder? It didn't automatically mean you couldn't compete with them...and their millions of reads...
You weren't popular either. Not really. Not in the office, and not to the people of Gotham either. Sure, you'd put out countless articles regarding Gotham post-Batman, and the new wave of vigilantism and how the city was acclimating to the new methods of fighting crime (even if some were deemed unethical, maybe even immoral), but you never got anything more than a few thousand reads (over a period of a few months, mind you). And yet you had the potential to reach the millions Gotham occupied, who read and watched GCN on the daily.
And yet this city of grandiose, as well as reasonable infamy born of its own corrupt citizens, rendered you to slave away at papers, even after the blood, sweat and tears you put into graduating.
And now, you put blood, sweat and tears into Gotham's newest hot topic. The Red Hood.
He was notorious for serving as this sort of anti-Batman, the one thing that separates them being the fact he didn't hesitate to use lethal force and other uncouth methods. But barely anyone had ever seen him, or got the chance to interview him. That was another thing he was notorious for.
He hated the limelight, or anything to do with public opinion (or so you heard). So the task of going out there, scouring for at least one quote for him, was like trying to find a needle in a haystack, only to be pricked.
So how would you, a journalist, attempt to interview someone who hated journalists? How would you even find him?
