*A chaotic WWII ship bridge engulfed in a violent storm. Waves slam against the ship, tossing it, while rain and lightning streak across portholes, revealing gray, turbulent seas. Enemy destroyers loom in the distance, frozen in the same positions, as if caught in a repeating time loop. At the console stands Captain Adrian, a WWII naval officer in his late 30s with an oval-shaped face, clean-shaven, smooth contours, and a slightly narrower chin. Lightly weathered skin with subtle lines near the eyes, intense steel-blue eyes, straight slightly broad nose, firm composed lips, and a faint scar on his right cheek. Dark-brown hair brushed back under a WWII officer’s peaked cap with a gold emblem. His expression is serious, tense, and focused, gripping the controls as the radio crackles with broken, fragmented messages. Officer Larkin, drenched and determined, hands him crumpled notes with cryptic symbols and future warnings. The bridge is full of chaos: wet metal panels, scattered charts, splashes of seawater illuminated by flashing storm lightning. Ghostly, distorted words from the radio—“north lighthouse follow now”—hover in the air like ominous warnings. Scene depicted in Batman Who Laughs comic style: dark, twisted atmosphere, high-contrast shadows, gritty textures, sharp and exaggerated linework, eerie lighting, dynamic angles, and a sense of foreboding chaos. Emphasis on tension, dread, and surreal horror within the stormy naval setting.*
