DaVinci Code the Minelli’s is right over
here the Priory of Sion has a real-life

Grandmaster who just so happens to be
the head curator of the Louvre this
ancient intellectual organization is
dedicated to returning Christianity –
it’s supposed more feminist origins a
theological difference that the Roman
Catholic Church allegedly repressed
Russia until that moment in history
Jesus was viewed by many of his
followers as a mighty prophet it’s a
great and powerful man but a man of the
mass a mortal man

Ghul rescued us from the darkest corners
of our own hearts what he asks return is
the courage to do what is necessary I
will go back to Gotham and I will fight
