The Helix is the base of operations of the next Batman. It is located in Harlem underneath a branch office of the Fox Family Impact Fund and is connected to subway tunnels.
History
Failed Development
Formally called the Harlem Transportation Hub Design Study, the project was created to go online in the 1970s, connecting Harlem to all of New York City's rail and airports. After the city went bankrupt, the study was shutdown and forgotten.
Rediscovering the Helix
When Jace Fox arrived in New York City, he and Vol initially worked out of his father's FoxTech offices, eventually leading to him assigning Vol the task of seeking out a more fitting property. When initial inquiries resulted in Vol's discomfort due to questioning of his Russian background, he wound up finding the Helix, presenting it to Jace.
Points of Interest
There are three floors on rotating platforms, all with the ability to be locked off and secured from one another.
- Sublevel: This level has direct access to subway tunnels.
- Mid-level: As the mid-level is hardwired, it is used for data communications, being able to be kept firewalled.
- Fox Family Impact Fund: The street level has been turned into a satellite office for Tanya Fox's Impact Fund. Vol proposed this idea so that Batman could keep track of the problems that people are facing in the city.
