One year ago, Gotham City was hit by a massive 7.6 earthquake, devastating the city’s infrastructure and populace. Seeing the earthquake as the latest of countless catastrophes plaguing the city due to its unending problems with supervillain crime and institutional corruption and incompetence, the US government, under the newly-elected president Lex Luthor, has declared Gotham City a No Man’s Land. The city has been sealed off from the rest of the country as a lawless, unincorporated territory. This decision was greatly supported by the American people, who had come to view Gotham as a crime-infested cesspool of misery and squalor. While many Gothamites left in droves, thousands were left behind, unable to evacuate the city before it was quarantined. Now, Gotham exists in chaos, separated into various fiefdoms controlled by disparate supervillains and crimelords. Amanda Waller, the head of the secretive government organization known as the Agency, has recognized the grave security threat posed by the lack of control over Gotham, believing any number of threats could use Gotham as a launching ground to target the rest of the United States. Using her numerous deep state connections, Waller has assembled a covert team of government agents, officials, metahumans, and on-the-ground Gotham connections with the goal of secretly restoring order to Gotham City for its reunification with the United States. Will the members of the committee coalesce their resources to usher in a new era of prosperity for Gotham and her citizens, or will Gotham descend into complete chaos and be lost forever?

Kian Sheridan is a senior majoring in biology on the pre-med track. He hails from Augusta, GA. When he's not widening the circle as a MUN delegate, you might find him dissecting mouse eyes as part of his research on retinopathy of prematurity in an ophthalmology lab, serving his duties as a resident advisor, tutoring the ignorant masses in the wonders of statistics as an learning assistant, or just reading a book. As a lifelong lover of DC Comics, both the actual comics and outside media, he is delighted to be doing this committee. He is especially thrilled that it is a Batman-oriented committee, as Batman is by far his favorite superhero. If you couldn’t tell from the background guide, one of his hobbies is to look up obscure DC characters on the internet. With literally thousands of characters to interact with and dozens of different directions delegates can take their arcs, he is eager to see what creative solutions delegates create over the course of the weekend.
