Plot
The film begins with The Batman: Detective sign. It goes into James Gordon being elected as the new commissioner of the GCPD because of his vital skills and intelligence and because Loeb was killed by Black Mask two years ago. Commissioner Gordon creates a batsignal aka batsign on the rooftop of the police department to alert Batman whenever in time of help. He needs help at the moment, so he calls in Batman, who is with his new sidekick ever since last year, which is Robin. Robin is Dick Grayson. Gordon says, "Hi you too. It's a very cold night today isn't it?" "Yep, it's snowing, but it is already March". Gordon gives Batman the mission to stop a gang of remaining Falcone thugs. They are near Jezebel Plaza, causing a rampage and holding 5 hostages. Before Gordon says, "Now, let me---" He sees that Batman nor Robin is there. Gordon chuckles, "He always does that, does he?" An annoying and ignorant leader of the criminals are dropping a load of boxes in filled with weapons. They hold the hostages in the plaza, having the guards watch the plaza, which are body guards for the Falcone members. Robin throws in his concussion detonator, which makes people have seizures in a blast. Batman jumps down, kicking his face, and throwing him into another thug. Robin jumps down, gliding, using his wind shield to block and beating the dozens of people with his staff. Batman does a flip, punching someone, gliding into them, and throwing a batarang at an incoming thug. The thugs get alerted and they yell, "I'm not afraid to kill you, Bat! Come at us!" They hear nothing, assuming Batman and Robin have given up, but Robin smacks his head into one thug, hitting him many, many times, while Batman uses the explosive gel to blow up the thugs and get everyone to safety. The Batmobile comes in, saving the 5 hostages successfully. The leader of the Falcone thugs gets away with money and jewelry, so Batman kicks him and takes the bag. Robin says, "Another successful mission, Bruce". "Thank you, Dick." "Now where are we going? Are we going to punch some more bad guy ass?" "Watch your language, Dick. We need to get home for supper." Jack Ryder, the new news reporter of Gotham City, is reporting about Batman's popularity in Gotham and how he saves lives. A person comes in the commons; "Yeah, I was with my sister and her boyfriend at dinner and these guys were about to jump her boyfriend and Batman comes in and beats the crap out of them!" It goes into a montage of Batman and Robin working together ever since Roman Sionis's defeat. Barbara Gordon is on the news; "I think Batman and Robin are good guys. I'm glad my father supports him and most of this city does. Wherever Batman is, he's about to make a house name for himself because he's amazing, but creepy (laughs)!"

Alfred brings Bruce turkey, ham, and a salad into the Batcave, while he is on the Batcomputer, checking the police files for any more Falcone thugs. He sees none and Alfred informs him, "Master Bruce, you should come up the manor and eat sir. Mister Dick is waiting for you too, sire." "Okay, Alfred. Hey look, I just finished modifying Robin's new Birdmobile." It makes a lot of noise and it goes silent and Alfred says, "Oh dear, not again." While eating dinner, Alfred says, "I have been looking into Wayne Enterprises yesterday. I saw a huge crowd of people..." Alfred continues to talk about Ferris Boyle. Bruce does not know who he is, until Alfred shows him a video tape of Bruce and Ferris playing in the playground with Thomas and Martha Wayne hanging out with Boyle's parents. Bruce slowly remembers him and Alfred informs him about working with him as a new member of Wayne Enterprises because his family has passed down his billionaire act. Bruce agrees and meets Ferris the next day, "Bruce, I can't believe I'm even talking to you right now. It's a pleasure to meet you again." "A pleasure to meet you too, Ferris. We can both make Gotham a better place." They get along again like when they were children.

Dr. Victor Fries is a scientist who is obsessed with snow and ice. He is walking in the streets of Gotham, grabbing dozens of sheets of blueprints for his study; The Freeze Project. He trips into people, "Excuse me, folks, sorry. Heading away. Old man in the way". He wants to do this project because it will make him rich and will help his dying wife, Nora Fries, who is mourning and dying in Metropolis City.

Dick is in class as he is a college freshman along with Barbara. Barbara is a Tech major, while Dick is a Martial Arts major. There is a new student in his class, Jason Todd, who makes an impression that he is negative and a "downer" because when Dick tried to befriend him, Jason slapped his hand and he is always a "slacker".

Ferris and Bruce are having dinner together in a fancy restaurant, where Ferris reveals that the new building in construction be will be founded by Ferris named, GothCorp.

Bruce asks, "So what is GothCorp for?" "You said we can help Gotham right? This company can fund the charges for Gotham violence and it has many powerful chemicals in it such elements as flames, ice, etc." Bruce nods and Ferris explains how GothCorp can help many lives. After the dinner, Bruce leaves and puts on his Batsuit in the Batcave. He uses the Batwing to fly out and he patrols Gotham. Meanwhile, Dr. Fries is still walking to GothCorp with his blueprints. He sees that the audience is very big and that people are presenting many times. Fries asks one of the managers about when he can do his Freeze presentation and the manager says, "At this rate, probably an hour". "An hour? Okay." Fries sits in the audience, as time moves on. More and more people go, but Fries did not go. He feels as if the people are setting him up. Dr. Fries runs into Ferris, who says, "I'm sorry, Mister Fries. It is almost midnight, we need to close up for the day". Fries gets frustrated with his life because he's always been bullied ever since elementary school and no one respects him except his wife, Nora. Fries is revealed to be a lunatic when he talks out of nowhere, "I'm sorry, Nora. I will get the money soon, baby..." Dr. Fries goes crazy, but he goes home for the sake of his boredom and his tired mood.

James Gordon of the GCPD hires a new officer named Yi Lang, a trusted, but beginner cop. Elsewhere, Bruce is training Robin in the Batcave; "Dick, you have to use your senses to 'smell' our enemies. Stay outputted and alert". Bruce punches Dick, stealing his staff, but Dick uses his strength for good, "Now is the best time, Bruce!" Bruce does flips and jumps on a steel canister and throws and cracks Dick's neck. "Man, you're good." "Yes, I am Dick. I've been in the game for almost 3 years and you still have lot to learn, Dick.

And please, from now on, call me 'dad'. Dick surprise attacks Batman by attempting to shield him, but Bruce jumps out of the way, and kicks Dick 50 feet straight in the Batcave. Alfred is watching, "Wow, you guys. Watch out. I don't want to clean up Mister Robin's blood". Lucius comes in to present to Bruce a new material to put on his Batsuit, which has spikes on it in the batgloves. He upgrades it to his suit and Robin, gets a hood for his suit. Bruce drinks water and Dick charges at him, but Bruce grabs his arm and says, "You still have a lot to learn, son".

Victor Fries wakes up and a phone call rings in his dirty apartment. His apartment looks very distraught and mild with psychotic photos of the GCPD and Ferris Boyle. He picks up the phone; "Hello?" "Hi, Fries. This is Ferris Boyle." "(sighs) What do you want, Boyle?" "There was an icy incident in GothCorp and I need you to clean it up". Fries heads his way there. He goes into GothCorp, where he tries to fix the icy incident. He sees the room full of ice eels and a powerful ice engine. He climbs on a ladder, saying to himself, "You are a genius, Mister Fries. Do not let others tell you how to live your life. You are awesome. I am awesome (plugs the cable in to fix the generator). I will do this for you, Nora". Fries gets shocked and falls into the ice engine and gets bitten by the eels, having him turn all white. The tank explodes. The ambulance comes and half the city is alerted because of the noise. Bruce Wayne sees it, standing silent, while Ferris just shakes his head and sighs.

At night, Bruce decides to suit up; "Master Wayne, where are you going?" "I'm going to investigate the crime scene at GothCorp. And Ferris said it was safe and sound... uh... (looks at the Batcomputer and types in about the scene). Something does not look right. I need to investigate it. I'll keep you highlighted for details, Alfred. Call in Dick when I need him." "Right a way sir." Batman gets on his Batmobile, stopping by GothCorp. He sneaks in there, seeing Harvey Dent in there talking to a scientist. He slowly breaks into the ventilation systems and goes throws a deep hole, which leads to the room Dr. Fries was 'killed' in. Batman detects the area, learning that Victor fell down the wires and through the tank with icy eels. He then learns Fries had been taken by someone unknown because earlier the ambulance lost him; "Alfred, I'm detecting very cold signals in the room. It seems Dr. Fries wasn't very careful this morning, but he seems to have been kidnapped by someone." "This Dr. Fries, sir. I never heard of him. Are you sure he works at GothCorp?" "I scanned the prints on his body. Yes". "Okay, well I suggest you don't go alone. I'm going to call Ro---" "Not now, Alfred". Batman heads through the prints and glides about two more miles, but the prints stop there, so he learns either Victor died at that area or someone is setting Batman up. A laser is pointed at Batman's eye, he jumps up and does a flip. An assassin on the rooftop with one red eye to laser and a sniper instead of a right hand. He says, "Batman is mine." They are at a yard near an abandoned warehouse in a quiet island near Gotham. One of the assassins say, "Deadshot, Floyd, what now?" "Ambush him. I want you to bring him in alive or I will shoot a bullet through your eyes!" "Okay boss!" So the villain's name is, Deadshot, aka Floyd Lawton, an expert mercenary and the world's greatest assassin. Batman fights the thugs, seeing that they are ninjas. A ninja tries to kick him, but he grabs their leg, pulling it over and throwing them into the ground. A ninja punches Batman in the face, strangling him, but Batman walks on one of the pins and cracks his head. Batman punches the ninjas but they have block armor, so a ninja almost punches Batman, but he brutally punches them many times, banging their heads together. A pyromaniac named Firefly, aka Garfield Lynns, flies into the battle. Batman sees Firefly and he has black armor with wings that breathe out fire. Batman detects his sensor and he seems to be filled with 99.9% fire because he poured fire on himself. Firefly kicks Batman, trying to explode him with fire, but instead he burns the whole yard. "Master Bruce! I'm calling in Robin to help you!" "No, Alfred! This is too dangerous for Dick!" "Call in Commissioner Gordon then!" Batman glides away as Deadshot is in a jet and Firefly is flying to get him. "Gordon, come in on the 19th square precint near New Gotham. I need your help." "What's that noise?" "It's Firefly and Deadshot!" "Lawton... I should have known. What happened?" "There's no time for me to explain (gets on the Batwing)!" Batman flies away shooting missles at Deadshot's jet and the jet explodes. Lynns catches Lawton. Gordon goes in, using a Ak Rifle to shoot Firefly off. His left wing dies and Firefly goes down in the air. Firefly yells, "This isn't over, Batman!" Gordon gets mad, punching a box. "You should have called me in earlier!" "I apologize. So who are they?" "Sweet Jesus. Garfield Lynns, that pyromaniac who blue the yard up, broke out of Arkham Asylum again!" "Arkham Asylum?" "Yes, it is an asylum out of island near Arkham City. It is for maniacs." "What about Deadshot?!" "He's the worst. He's a contract killer and he's worked with many government IA's and is now targeting you somehow." "I don't get how this all leads into Fries's accident. I was locating his tracks, but then Deadshot attacked me and led into a battle." "I guess you have two things to find then; get Deadshot and learn where Firefly is from and what he has to do with Fries." Batman goes away; "AH! I hate it when he does that". Batman goes back to the Batcave. Alfred and Lucius see his suit torn up and many bruises and bloods on his neck and other body parts. He falls down. "Master Bruce, are you okay?" "Yes (coughs out blood). These guys are such sociopaths. I mean I dealt with some before, but this..." "Bruce, I strongly suggest you let Robin in to let you. He is a very valuable ally." Bruce does not answer. He goes up to the Wayne Manor.

Barbara Gordon is in her apartment, on the computer, typing in clues about the Tech Fives for her class. She sees her dad come by her apartment to visit. She sees him pull up in a police car, but in normal clothes. Barbara hugs; "Dad, I missed you." "Yeah Barbara. I missed you too. How is college?" "It is very good, I'm actually studying for a huge project that could help my financial aid in grad school". "That's good." They talk and they bond again, having Gordon say how Barbara looks a lot like her mom/his wife. Meanwhile, the anonymous kidnapper of Dr. Fries goes back to GothCorp and goes into his secret lab. He is not revealed, but he has a very deep and dark voice and he laughs manic when he is studying on Fries, whose body is hooked with cold wires and his whole body is used to freeze temperature. He leaves the building, then seconds later, Fries wakes up and has a muscle spasm. He grunts very loud, freezing the whole lab. He wears an overall and picks up a face mask to put in front of his mouth.

Bruce cleans up his blood and is looking good as new. He looks outside, seeing the batsignal put up in the sky by Commissioner Gordon. He sighs. While he puts on his batsuit and heads to the rooftop Gordon is on, Gordon is talking on the phone with Bullock who is referencing to him about a GothCorp incident. Gordon hangs up; "Shit!" Ferris Boyle goes on the building and starts arguing with the commissioner about the GothCorp incident and how Garfield Lynns broke out of Arkham Asylum. Harvey Dent joins the conversation; "Ferris, how are you even a true owner and founder of GothCorp? Look what you created (shows tape of Fries slowly walking and freezing out of GothCorp Tower)!" "How is it my fault?" Batman comes in and all four of them talk about all the incidents having to do with it. Batman privately talks to Gordon, while Ferris and Harvey are "yapping" at each other. Gordon; "You need to go to Arkham Asylum and see if there's anything that might help us to figure out Garfield Lynns's escape." Batman glides away using his booster glide to go to Arkham Asylum. He sees Robin join in; "Dad, you need my help." "Thank you, Robin." Batman and Robin sneak into Arkham Asylum, having Robin pummel any sociopathic inmates in his way. Batman goes into the penitentary, where it holds all the special contaiment cells for remarkable inmates. He scans the area for clues, seeing that Lynns had a secret pocket that held a chip and if he pressed it, he will transform his suit into his body, but Batman learns Lynns did not have the chip earlier. He learns someone from Arkham Asylum named, Dr. Jonathan Crane, gave Lynns the chip to break out. Batman and Robin then hunt who Dr. Jonathan Crane is. They later see that Crane is a psychopathic shrink in Arkham Asylum who "helps" the inmates with their mental health. Crane tells Batman that Firefly is very powerful and that he is unstoppable. Batman chokes Crane and kicks his face really hard, falling him unconscious and bloody.

Batman and Robin continues to glide around to find any more clues and they see Fries, who dons himself Mister Freeze, absorbing an arctic location near New Gotham. Batman does not know it's Fries, so he punches him and Freeze starts to grow weaker, but he colds himself up. After a long battle with Batman attempting to hit Freeze, he flees, having Robin chase him down, but failing. Batman comes to the Batcave, telling Lucius to make a suit called, "XE Cyrodrill" for a safety in order to stop Mister Freeze; "Lucius, make it developed because it seems I'm in war with Lynns and Freeze." "I'm confused; I thought Dr. Fries was innocent." "He is mad and a turned sociopath. I need to stop him to foil his plans. Him and Firefly are planning to foil the city into arctic ashes." Lucius Fox and Bruce Wayne go out in the morning the next day to get breakfast. They see Ferris, having him inform them about a party being ran for GothCorp. Ferris asks if he can take the party in Wayne Manor and Bruce blindly accepts because he respects Boyle and he is his friend. Then, the screen immediately switch to Wayne Tower, where Lucius touches a Budha statue and it opens a secret entrance to a room where Bruce's Batmobile and Batwing is stored with special antidotes in case of emergencies. And it is the "backup" Batcave in case the other one is destroyed. Bruce makes a joke, "Ya know, Fox, this is real nice. Just having a white room (chuckles). That is so me. Thanks for getting to know me---" "Wayne, I'm---" "No, it's fine. Better create a list of my personalities, but you know it pretty well (sarcastically)." Bruce pulls these wires together and Lucius begins developing and putting certain ice prototypes from GothCorp into Bruce's XE suit. Lucius and Bruce set up a new mission to get Deadshot; "One down, Lucius, then the better it is. One less problem without it." "It's always the hard way isn't it, Wayne? Well, as you see here, I hacked into the communication systems where Deadshot is connecting with his assassins." They hear and see the wire that records Deadshot live secretly; "Mr. Lawton, what would we do now?" "I ain't restin' into the Bat is done with. I'm not letting him get to Firefly nor Freeze." While they are talking, Bruce puts on his Batsuit and says, "I can accomplish this before the party at Wayne Manor starts." "Yes, I believe you can, Bruce. The party starts at 8PM, and it is 5PM right now, so it is getting dark." "That's one thing you know about me."

Lucius connects with Bruce; "Mr. Wayne, Deadshot's whereabouts are in a bachelor party in the 50th Borks Place in Old Gotham". Batman flies his Batwing and sets the waypoint. Then, the party is happening and females and males are dancing with pop music. Deadshot is setting up camp in the inside rooftop inside the building. Barbara Gordon seems to be in the party somehow, even though the party is "21 and over", while she is only 18. Barbara drinks beer without her father's permission. Batman lands in the rooftop. Deadshot looks over because he heard a sound of someone entering the rooftop. Meanwhile, Lynns takes of his pyro suit and reveals his body, which is disturbingly burnt and worn out, with very, very red eyes. He laughs manic and Freeze comes into his room; "Guess GothCorp, as what I call the so called 'CEO' of it, Ferris Boyle, turned us into these creatures, right Freeze?" Mister Freeze grunts and says, "What have I done? Where am I?" "You're with me." Garfield reveals to Victor that he destroyed many innocent lives with his temperature. He has built a cyronetic ice suit for Fries, which is 7 feet tall with a blast ray freezing gun and wires to help him breathe and live. Freeze tries it on and his voice changes tremendously; "I will do this for you, Nora. I will hunt down Ferris Boyle and turn this city into a living ice." Continuing Batman's mission to defeat Deadshot, he sees Barbara and tells Lucius; "Barbara? Barbara Gordon? What is she doing here? It's not place for a young teenage girl to be. I gotta report Gordon of this, but first I need to make sure she is safe." Deadshot scans the room and sees Batman, taking down his thugs; Batman pushes one down a ledge, smacking his head and throwing him off. Someone tries to punch Batman, but he blocks with his arm, cracking it and punching it many times. Batman sees a disguised party teenager with a bat and he steals the bat and breaks it, hitting it with the thug. A criminal with a jet tries to ambush him, grabbing him, but he puts explosive gel in his engine, blowing him up. Everyone runs for their lives when they see this and Deadshot's missile. Barbara runs for her lives, having Batman smack someone into electricity, uppercutting another thug and punching her out of the window and hanging her. Thugs and assassins round up against him and he kicks and punches them all many, many, many times. He throws the smoke bomb, looking at the time; 5:56PM. Batman breaks through a brick wall, taking someone down. A remaining Roman Sionis mobster tries to shoot him, but he gets an assassin, having the assassin get shot in the chest instead. Batman throws a batarang at the mobster and uses the glue grenade to glue him together and he kicks him unconscious. Batman goes into the room Deadshot is "awaiting" him at. Batman runs into Barbara; "What are you doing here, young girl?" "I'm sorry!" James Gordon searches the building, seeing a whole bunch of unconscious and broken down bodies from Batman all over the building. Gordon angrily puts his hand on Barbara and takes her to his police car. Batman uses his sensor to find Deadshot and finds him. Batman hides for minutes and then Deadshot misses his attack having Batman disrupt his weapon and Deadshot can no longer shoot. Batman throws a batarang into his eye. Batman has killed Lawton and Batman says to himself, "Damn..."

Bruce comes back to Lucius's underground room in Wayne Tower. "Mr. Wayne, I see it went well. You did a very good job." "Yeah... but I didn't get any information from Lawton about Firefly and Freeze because he got killed by a batarang." "Oh... that is a bitter..."

Commissioner Gordon gets home, pulling his daughter's arm in HIS house. "What were you thinking, Barbara? You could have got killed in that party." "I'm sorry, dad." "Sorry does not cut it this time, honey. Those people could have killed you. If the vigilante did not come in and stop those criminals and gangbangers, then you could have been killed." "Dad, I said I'm sorry!" "How much have I taught you?" He goes on about how she should be responsible for her actions because of college. Barbara says she misses being with him and calls her "daddy". They hug and Barbara cries.

Dick is waiting outside, calling Barbara, but she is not answering. He hopes she is fine, as Bruce arrives and tells Dick that he is may be "good" enough to patrol Gotham City while Bruce is at Boyle's party. He suits up as Robin and takes off. Bruce goes to Alfred, both wearing a suit and tie to make good impressions for his fans. A quick scene shows Lucius shipping the development of the XE suit to the Batcave under Wayne Manor. And it shows Freeze getting prepared for something unknown... The party is going on and Boyle goes to Bruce; "Hey, Bruce. Thanks for letting me borrow your mansion for a party. We're going to hit it up, if you know what I mean?" "Yes, Ferris. I believe you can change the world. Good luck." Ferris goes on stage; "Compassion; that's the foundation GothCorp was built on. GothCorp, I believe, can change the world; this foundation will save millions with our projects such as the cyrogenetic ones aka to those of you who don't understand is gently the ice weapon (audience laughs). Thank you." A friend of Bruce comes on stage; "Thank you, Ferris. Thank you. What a swell guy. Okay, people. Let's celebrate the foundation of---" The mansion gets colder and freezes; "Woohoo. Did you forget to pay the heating bill or something, Bruce?" The icy wall explodes and Mister Freeze comes in. He uses his cyrogenic ice blaster. He freezes many people in a pack, punching them with his hand and they blow away to bits. Bruce gets spooked and Ferris runs away. Mister Freeze hits someone, freezing them; "Bring me Ferris Boyle!" Bruce wonders why Boyle is being targeted by "this guy". He learns it is Fries. Freeze has brang in reinforcements from Deadshot's old gang and a couple of surviving Sionis mobsters. Bruce talks into a his hidden chip underneath his sleeve; "Alfred, it is Freeze. I need to find out why he is after Ferris... Alfred?" Alfred seems to be in trouble, so Bruce searches the house.

Robin is having "peace time", stalking his girlfriend, Barbara. Robin sees a disturbance smoke coming from Bruce's mansion. He heads there. Bruce opens a door, then a thug smacks him with his carbine rifle, holding Bruce hostage. Bruce sees Alfred using a stick, hitting a thug, but a thug punches him and Bruce yells; "Alfred!!" A thug punches Bruce 5 times, until Bruce decides to use his martial arts skills for good as himself, so he breaks the gun and knee kicks the thug. He flips around punching a thug many times, putting his head into a light bulb lighting up. Bruce kicks a guy on his back, falling him down and punching the last thug to death. Bruce; "Alfred (picks Alfred up), are you alright?" "Yes I'm fine. These thugs don't scare me..." "Alfred don't..." "Be careful out there, Master Bruce. Find Mr. Boyle and make sure he is okay, sir, but you cannot accomplish that feat wearing that. You need to put on your other suit." Robin comes in to aid Bruce, so Bruce puts on his Batsuit. Batman decides to go around Wayne Manor for any other hostages. He sees none, except Vicki Vale being sexually abused by one of Black Mask's mobsters. He bumps them in the head, having them try to punch him, but he cracks their hand, putting batclaws around it. Vicki Vale; "Thank you, Batman. I owe you one. Do you need anything?" "None of your business, Vicki. Go back to safety." "Tell me what you're doing. Gotham City NEEDS to know." Batman does not answer, going to Wayne Tower because Ferris is hiding there. When they arrive, they see Ferris trying to his best hide, then Mister Freeze comes in, blasting Ferris with his ice radar. Mister Freeze; "I finally got my hands on you, Boyle." Before he leaves Wayne Tower for GothCorp Tower, Batman swing kicks Mister Freeze, putting an explosive tractor on him, but it does no damage. Robin uses his staff to smack Mister Freeze many times, as he blasts Robin's wind shield and it breaks in half. Robin uses his acrobatic abilities to try to stop Freeze and Batman, while punching and kicking Freeze; "Dr. Fries, this is not you!" "Ferris Boyle will pay for what they did to me. Firefly and I!" Batman learns that Firefly and him have created a partnership, then Freeze blasts Batman in the leg, but he breaks off with his explosive gel. Batman and Robin dodges Freeze's shots, then Batman punches Freeze many times to his "weak part", but Freeze ice punches Robin to the wall and he falls down Wayne Tower, but uses his bird grapple to get back up. Freeze somehow gets away.

Bruce goes into the Batcave and tells Alfred, "Alfred, Freeze was no match for us. Dick and I had a very hard time fighting him." "Freeze; he used to be an outcast in GothCorp. What does he want with Ferris Boyle?" "I don't know, but I'm about to find out. Where is the XE extreme environment suit?" "It's still in development, sir." Bruce goes over to it, looking and seeing that it is almost done. Bruce tells Alfred that he is going after Firefly next. He uses his Batcomputer, hearing the communications of Freeze and Lynns; "My next plan to you is the Pioneers Bridge, Freeze. That's the next step to turning Gotham into a living hell! Burn baby, burn!" Bruce says that he is going to Pioneers Bridge whenever Firefly attacks it.

Barbara is revealed to have a secret underground "nerd" lab in her apartment. She triggers a button and there are full of computers and hacking networks. She hacks into a network, where she hears that Firefly is planning to burn Pioneers Bridge and looks outside, seeing it is snowing even more because of Freeze. Barbara says, "Oh no, I have to tell my dad AND Batman. Telling my dad is not a good idea. Think Barbara. Think; how do I get Batman's attention?" Then she realizes that her father has a batsignal on top of the GCPD building. She sneaks into the GCPD, hacking their wires, so that Gordon or any other trusted police officers like Harvey Bullock and Yi Lang will sight her. She uses the stairs to get up, putting up the batsignal. Batman arrives behind her, giving her a slight heart attack; "(breathes hardly) Don't you greet (laughs)?" "What do you need? Let's get over this. As I said before, a young girl with technology talents can get you killed, Barbara." "I snuck in, so I'm fine. Listen, I hacked into Firefly's comms and he is planning to wipe out Pioneers Bridge tomorrow night on the first day of April to do his "April Fools" prank as he calls it." "Damn... these psycopaths... you get to safety, tomorrow, okay?" "Yes, sir."

Ferris wakes up, finding himself surrounded by Freeze's thugs in ice mechanical suits similar to his cyrogenic suit from GothCorp. Ferris is rude enough to say, "Why you have MY invention?" Freeze walks in; "Your invention. I got a job at this damn foundation to protect my wife." Ferris spits at Freeze and part of his cheek melts away. Freeze kicks Ferris's hand and chokes him by the head. "Who cares about your wife, Nora? She is a bitch!" "Says the 'so-called' protector of Gotham! My Nora will kill you for what you have done for me. I will slaughter you, but first I need to take out the parts. You watch the fun as your 'city' turns into eternal flames as the first step into the Pioneers Bridge." Ferris looks at how beautiful and high that bridge is and it is Gotham's biggest bridge.

At Wayne Enterprises, Bruce is at a press meeting with Lucius and his clients; "Now Mr. Wayne, I have you already know that without Ferris, I believe your company can decrease it's popularity and success. Ferris's father, Albert Ferris, was a very successful man with your parents, Thomas and Martha." "How do you know that, Chapil?" "My uncle used to work with your father." Bruce begins arguing that the company can still run big without Ferris's help. After the press meeting, Lucius informs Bruce that it is true that if Ferris dies, Wayne Enterprises's fortune could die along because "Ferris is a very powerful man" as Lucius describes. Lucius and Bruce watch the news as Vicki Vale reports in the room on the 60th floor of Wayne Tower. Bruce takes off his black sportswear suit and puts on a muscle tee; "Good afternoon, Gotham. This is Vicki Vale, reporting to you live on Gotham FX. To address to you all the fine citizens of Gotham and Bludhaven, Ferris Boyle has been missing ever since his party that was thrown at Wayne Manor. Speaking of that, the mansion is being fixed after the fire and destruction (shows the ambulance using a water hose to clear the fire. Back to the big news, without Ferris, Wayne Enterprises is slowly falling apart from clients and funding. Could this be the first clue to Gotham falling apart?" Bruce begins to see violent visions of Gotham falling apart and he starts spitting out blood; "Mr. Wayne!! Are you alright?" "Yes (coughs), I'm fine." Bruce begins to hallucinate on the future day of part of Gotham burning by several villains (hint to a future movie). Then, he realizes he needs to get Boyle before Boyle is destroyed and everyone in Gotham will be desperate without Wayne Enterprises and GothCorp. Lucius reminds Bruce that he has added heat batarangs and producted heat gloves into his suit along with an ice blaster for his suit in order to successfully defeat Mister Freeze.

Robin, without his father or butler's permission, goes to GothCorp. He sneaks on the gargoyle; "Wow, Freeze must wanted this place very secured. Robin shield bashes a thug, hitting him with his staff, then jumping forward to use the staff to back choke a thug. The snipers try to get him, but he pulls the sniper down, kicking him twice and a 5 of Freeze's thugs round up on him and they try to ice Robin, but he dodges all of them, using his staff to hit them one by one. He gets in, seeing the managers and AI all burned down and their bodies are on fire horridly all because of Firefly; "Firefly... Jesus effing christ. He will payback of what he did to these innocent people." He looks around, seeing a plant monster called, "Poison Ivy" (easter egg), and fire elements. Robin slowly starts to realize that GothCorp may be actually evil-doing. Robin types on a computer, seeing Barbara enter GothCorp. Barbara talks to Robin and flirts with him because he has the same look and sweetness at Dick Grayson does. She finds out that it IS Dick; "Honey, I don't want you to be a superhero's sidekick. It's dangerous. I don't want to lose you too." Robin hushes her mouth and gives her a kiss. Barbara tells him that she may want to help Batman on a mission. She goes into a lab where there are low-life Deadshot thugs and they stand up and say, "Get the hell out of here, you little kids!" Barbara kicks one's leg, having Robin staff him and wind him, then dodging the other thugs's attack, lifting him up with his wind shield and throwing him across the room. Robin leaves Barbara to her "work" and glues the door with his explosive gel so no one can enter the lab. Barbara hacks into the users for GothCorp, having a thug's hand get printed, so she can fake their access into the comms. Barbara turns the electricity on and off in the tower. Bruce and Lucius go walk down the the cave in Wayne Tower and he gets a text message from Dick; "Bruce, I'm sorry to say, but I'm going to GothCorp to investigate the crimes of Mister Freeze and Firefly myself." Bruce tells Lucius, "Good Lord, Dick is there. I need to go help him." "Hold on, Mr. Wayne. He is the Robin and he is very talented in martial arts. Did you see what he did to Black Mask a couple years ago? You need to focus on Firefly's attack in the Pioneers Bridge." Bruce sees Alfred in the white cave, having him say, "What? This is my HQ too!" "Funny, Alfred." Bruce looks at his cyrogenically enhanced XE extreme environment suit, putting it on. He does not have a mask showing his face in this suit. He puts it on, slightly changing his voice to become dark. He tests it out, crushing a wall! It also provides him super strength to able grab at least a ton (2000 pounds); "James Gordon, coming in, officer groups, round up to detect Firefly's bombs, Lang and Bullock, you guys try to save the lives in the train below the bridge." Batman goes and Alfred and Lucius does not notice until they turn around.

While on the Batwing, Batman shows the schematics of the plans for stopping Firefly to Lucius and Alfred. He boosts off of his Batwing, planning to distract Firefly by sending in a decoy Batwing, so Batman has time to disarm the 2 bombs Firefly planted and helping the police officers. Firefly is blowing everything up with his fire; "(laughs loud manically) Burn baby burn!!!! HA HAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA!" He burns over 100 people alive and many lives shatter and the Batwing comes in and Firefly tells his thugs he stole from Deadshot, "Look, it's the Bat. You guys watch this bridge and kill everyone. I'm about to burn the Bat alive!! HAHAHA!" Batman glides down as Firefly does not see him and realize it was a setup. Batman finds an entrance to below the bridge. He sees Commissioner Gordon calling in and arguing with Detective Bullock and Officer Lang; "Open the fire doors, Harvey! This is for Gotham City! Many lives have already been destroyed! Open it up!" Batman tells Gordon, "No! You don't know if it is a trap!" Gordon hangs up Bullock's call and tells Batman to disarm the bomb in the 5A lower level of the bridge. Batman sneaks into the vents and sees that the officers are being held by both Deadshot's gang and Freeze's thugs. Batman takes everyone down, doing an inverted takedown and choking a thug. He throws a smoke bomb at the group of thugs, kicking one in the face and he goes flying. A group of thugs go at him and he falls down, having them punch him, but he uses his heat gloves to burn their hands. He punches the remaining freeze thug very hard with his heat gloves and he lifts him up, cracking his spine and breaking the armor. A police officer makes a witty joke, "Damn, Jesus Christ. I can't believe the corrupted SWAT officers would ever mess with him." Batman tells the officers to get to safety, while he uses his hacking sequencer to disarm the bombs. He tells Gordon, "Gordon, the first bomb is disarmed." "I knew I could trust you." Batman tries to find the next bomb, seeing blood foot prints leading to the next bomb. Firefly continues to fly around the bridge, chasing the Batwing, but Batman uses his arm signals to shoot missiles at Firefly and he falls down in the bridge. All the innocent lives run, as Bullock and Lang; "GO GUYS GO!! EVACUATE the bridge!" They see Firefly burning the cords of the bridge and the holders of it, making it slowly fall apart. Batman feels the tensity of the bridge and he finally finds the next bomb, seeing only two thugs guard it! He throws a batarang at one and surprising them at the ledge, and slamming their head twice and punching them down and blows them into an old train. He crushes their face.

Elsewhere, Robin is going at thugs, fighting them and punching them many times, hitting them with his staff. Freeze blasts his body, making him freeze. Freeze says, "HAHA. I got you, Robin." Barbara checks into the comms and says, "Dick......"

Many cars start falling down the Pioneers Bridge and a little child with his parents drown underwater. He cannot swim, so Batman swims under, having the Batwing go underwater and he rescues the family. He pulls all three of them into the Batwing. Batman tells Bullock, "Get them to safety now!" Being frightened by Batman because of what he did a couple years ago to the SWAT and GCPD, Bullock works very hard to rescue and save many innocent people. Firefly sees Batman pop up, "I blew up your Batwing, Batman. How do you feel now?" "That was a decoy." Firefly gets mad and he accidentally reveals to Batman that there is another secret bomb. Batman begins to fight Firefly by throwing glue grenades at him. Firefly gets stuck as Batman pulls him down and flip kicking him 10 times. The bridge, of how much fire Firefly made of it, breaks it half, having many people die. Batman gets mad, continuing to throw glue grenades at Lynns. His suit gets stuck, having his left wing become weak. He throws flame bombs in the bridge, having to almost burn Harvey Bullock, but Batman shoves him out of the fire. Alfred says, "Bruce, jump up or you'll get roasted!!!" Batman knows he has to risk, using his batclaw to attach to Firefly or else he will die. Firefly gets intimidated by him and Batman gets closer as he climbs his batclaw like a rope and he finally gets to Firefly. He heat punches Firefly a tremendous times for killing over 200 innocents. Firefly tries to kick Batman off his body, but Batman puts his hands into the right engine wing of Firefly hard and it makes a loud noise because it is his core wing. Batman continues to slap and kick Firefly, being kicked by Firefly himself. Batman falls of, creating another batclaw, tripping into a part of the bridge; he pulls Firefly towards him and it causes Firefly to grunt. Batman uppercuts him, having the pyrosuit go nuts and it flies around the bridge. Batman uses his weighted suit to survive and Batman punches his wings one more time, both falling to an edge in the bridge. Batman punches him so hard that Firefly's eye lins show his red eye; "You need a new hobby or this will become worst." Batman continues to punch him and choke him; "Why are you doing this Lynns? Who created you?" "It was back in GothCorp (Batman puts on in a spot on the wall and chokes him harder) when I was (coughs out yellow blood) just a guest helping to spread disease. I became addicted to fire, making me become a pyromaniac. Then, I became nuts so I went into a fire chemical lava to burn my body and I survived, making my own fireproof suit. GothCorp kind of made me do what I do." Batman thinks a little and punches him again, "You need a new hobby!" Batman pushes him off the ledge, having Firefly sleep through a long coma. Gordon takes him in and tells Batman of good teamwork of how he stopped Lynns and sacrificed his life, but with "another suit".

Freeze threatens Batman by showing him Robin. Batman quickly heads to GothCorp Tower, fighting through the freeze guards; he truly tests his suit by heating a frozen hostage and realizes he can use it to free Robin. Freeze's thug tries to ice Batman, but fails many times, then Batman punches him, squirting ice at him, and kicking his skull. Batman heads to the place where he gathers all the information from Freeze wanting to kill Ferris. He sees Barbara there about to get jumped by a freeze thug, but he puts his hand on his back and punches his face. He tells Barbara again that she is too young and it is dangerous to be talented in the "tech world". Barbara impresses him and he is forced to work with her. Barbara tells Batman that Freeze wanted Boyle because; Fries was born in Alabama, where he met Nora Fries, a beautiful dancer, who had cancer and was dying. Fries went to Gotham when he found the new foundation, GothCorp and he got a job there in order to help his wife from not dying, creating a project for ice antidote after Boyle accepted him, but it was a scam to turn Fries into Freeze, so Boyle is revealed to be evil! Freeze now wants revenge on Boyle and he wants to turn Gotham City into a living ice and destroy the foundation of GothCorp because it is the place many villains was born such as Firefly, Freeze himself, and a villain in the past named Poison Ivy (reference). Alfred checks in; "Master Bruce, I'm sorry, me and Lucius have been arguing. Can you get us an update because after you defeated Firefly and saved those innocent lives, the comm wires went down." "I'm at GothCorp right now. I can now handle the below 0 degree temperature". Batman leaves Barbara's lab, as he goes to Freeze's lab and sees Boyle and Robin hostage. Batman says, "Freeze, stop this madness. You can still help your wife, Nora!" "SHUT UP!! My Nora is the only thing that matters to me." Ferris says, "Look, Fries, I am sorry." Freeze steps harshly over to Boyle and breaks his ice trap and throws him into a can, making him suffer with -500 degree temperature. Boyle gets his arm starting cold bleeding! Batman throws a heat batarang into Robin and they both attempt to fight Freeze. Robin goes up in the gargoyles to stop the thugs. Batman throws a heat batarang and it is able to explode, having Freeze's glasses pop out. He changes his voice and Batman punches him in the face, then Freeze kicks him and tries to freeze him. Batman can handle the ice, but his cape can't so he takes out his cape and leaves it, but he had to take the risk. Batman jumps over Freeze, trying to pull out his cable that can make him survive. Robin stashes a thug, stabbing him with his staff, throwing him into another group of thugs. He punches, hits, and kicks all over again until the thugs are unconscious. Freeze; "You will pay, Batman! This city will suffer with cold!" Ferris Boyle is freezing to death, developing into the same kind of DNA and skin as Freeze has. Freeze punches Batman, shooting him in the chest, but Batman dodges it by using his ice blaster and shooting Freeze. It causes half of GothCorp to go on ice and Robin throws a thug out of the window. The building shakes as Batman and Freeze take the battle outside. Freeze punches him into the snowy ground and Batman dodges his kick, heating up his arm. Robin begins fighting Freeze as well, but gets injured. Batman yells, "Robin!" Robin struggles to get up, but Batman brutally goes for it and tackles Freeze. He punches his glass helmet and begins punching him to hell. He punches him and overcharges his heat gloves and puts both of his hands on Freeze's head, torturing him. Freeze's suit breaks and the whole city is alerted. GCPD comes in and Commissioner Gordon tells Batman to look out because a debris is about to fall on him from the tower, but he catches it and throws it. Gordon says, "Nice suit." "Thank you." Robin gets up and Batman looks at Freeze's body and detects his temperature; "He's... dead..." Everyone stays quiet and feels empathy on Freeze. Batman closes his eyes and uses his Batmobile to go back to Wayne Manor.

At the end, Bruce tells Dick; "Dick, you did a good job these past few years. You always lent me a hand and tried your best to impress me. I think you're now responsible enough to be a hero on your own." He waits for a minute and tells Dick that he can now be the hero of Bludhaven. Dick hugs Bruce and laughs, "You know, dad, I'm going to miss you. I think this suit is going to outfit me. I think my name as Robin is too cheesy." Bruce says, "Yeah... how about... Nightwing?" "Good idea..."

The movie ends with the city being cleaned up and funded by Wayne Enterprises and Boyle going to prison of what he did to Dr. Fries. The city rests in peace and governments call in officials and clients for Wayne Enterprises begin to clean up and remodel Pioneers Bridge. Also, Gordon hugs his daughter and forgives her for her mistakes. The movie fades after Bruce says, "You know, Barbara. You're good at hacking and in tech. Why don't you help me?" He subtly reveals to Barbara he is Batman and Barbara names herself the Oracle to aid Batman in his missions instead of Lucius Fox.

After Credits: Dr. Jonathan Crane from Arkham Asylum is with one of his patients. He asks about what the problem is and the inmate spits in his face and flips him off. Dr. Crane pulls out a "fear gas" and the inmate screams horribly when Dr. Crane hallucinates on him and drugs him and in his vision he sees Crane as someone called, Scarecrow...
