Ah, the IRS—the bureaucratic nemesis that even the Dark Knight finds impossible to ignore. Imagine a villain who doesn’t wear a flashy costume or boast about their crimes, but instead lurks in the shadows of endless paperwork and obscure tax codes. In Gotham, where chaos and crime have their usual suspects, the IRS emerges as a uniquely terrifying adversary.

A Villain Without a Cape
While the likes of the Joker or Two-Face rely on theatrics and chaos, the IRS operates with quiet, relentless precision. They don’t need a dramatic entrance; they simply show up when you’ve made a fiscal misstep. Like a stealthy predator, they pounce on any discrepancy, turning innocent mistakes into full-blown financial calamities.

The Audit: Their Ultimate Weapon
Forget the explosive gadgets in my utility belt—the IRS wields the audit like a sledgehammer. One moment, you’re enjoying a quiet evening in your Batcave, and the next, you’re under the microscope of a tax investigator who’s as unyielding as Gotham’s darkest villains. No one is immune, and resistance only leads to more complications than fighting the Joker in a crowded alley.

A System Built on Complexity
Much like the labyrinthine plots of Gotham’s underworld, the tax code is a maze designed to confuse and intimidate. The IRS thrives in this environment, turning complexity into a weapon. Every rule, deduction, and exemption is a potential trap—a booby trap laid out for even the most diligent taxpayer. And while my mission is to fight crime, it seems the IRS’s mission is to keep everyone on the edge of paranoia.

The Irony of Justice
In a twisted turn of irony, while I dedicate my life to protecting Gotham from its most notorious criminals, the IRS upholds its own form of justice—albeit one that can leave ordinary citizens feeling just as beaten down as a Gotham thug after a brawl with the Caped Crusader. They serve as a constant reminder that sometimes, the true villain is not a masked fiend but a system that seems to relish in your mistakes.

So, while Gotham may be rife with high-stakes battles against villains with elaborate schemes, never underestimate the silent, omnipresent threat of the IRS. In this city, even Batman must tread carefully around the paperwork, knowing that one miscalculation could bring down a villain far more insidious than any clown or madman.
