On the verge of bankruptcy, and with very few residents that continue to stay in the city, Gotham seems to be at a low point. Emerging from the shadows is a vigilante, one dressed like a bat. The self-proclaimed "Batman" fights criminals and anything illegal dressed in a carbon fiber, Kevlar suit. Now equipped with a trusty sidekick Robin, Batman seems to be becoming famous. Batman and Robin seem to be a symbol of hope for some, but just costumed freaks for others.

A new crime boss arrives in Gotham, calling himself The Joker. A ruthless murderer, The Joker dons a purple suit and clown makeup. Gotham is now higher in crime and drug consumption than before the time of Batman. As The Joker recruits more people to join his side in a proclaimed "War on Gotham", Batman and Robin must fight through the criminal ranks, and use all the skills in their bodies to save Gotham for the first time . . . and definitely not the last.Complete
