Through a series of vivid flashbacks, he revisits the night his parents were murdered, the early days of his training, and his first steps as Gotham’s protector, confronting the city’s most dangerous criminals, including Joe Chill, Lew Moxon, and a host of iconic foes, all while forging alliances with figures like Commissioner Gordon and Alfred Pennyworth.
