In the eerie aftermath of the event known simply as The Bat Incident, Gotham City finds itself under the watchful gaze of a figure known as “The Batman.” This character, first seen a year after the mysterious incident, quickly becomes a central figure in Gotham’s nightly narrative. The city’s citizens, along with the police force, are forced to reckon with his presence, as he emerges from the shadows to impose his version of order. Gotham Police Commissioner Jim Gordon, in a recovered audio log, expresses a complex mix of skepticism and intrigue towards Batman’s sudden appearance and his unorthodox methods of combating crime and corruption.
The audio log, laden with static interference and sudden interruptions, paints a somber picture of Gotham’s state. Commissioner Gordon draws unsettling parallels between Batman and other vigilantes like Superman and Flash, suggesting a burgeoning era of masked justice that borders on vigilantism. The log hints at a deeper connection between Batman and the tragic history of Gotham’s prominent Wayne family, particularly Bruce Wayne, who vanished under mysterious circumstances shortly after his parents’ infamous murder. This backdrop sets the stage for a narrative filled with conspiracy, tragedy, and the quest for justice, as Batman himself disrupts the broadcast to declare a forthcoming change in Gotham, promising that his actions will usher in a new dawn of justice.
