Plot Summary

After witnessing the brutal murder of his parents, Bruce Wayne embarks on a global journey to understand the nature of crime and justice. Trained by the enigmatic League of Shadows under Ra’s al Ghul, he learns the skills necessary to fight corruption and fear. However, when he refuses to carry out the League’s extreme vision for Gotham, he returns home with a mission of his own—to become a symbol of hope and justice.

With the help of Alfred Pennyworth, Lucius Fox, and Detective Jim Gordon, Bruce creates the Batman persona, using fear as a weapon against Gotham’s criminals. But as he takes on crime lord Carmine Falcone and the sinister Dr. Jonathan Crane (Scarecrow), he discovers a larger conspiracy that threatens to destroy Gotham from within. The city’s fate hangs in the balance as Ra’s al Ghul returns, revealing his true intentions and forcing Bruce to make a defining choice between vengeance and heroism.
