Season 1

 * 1) "Pilot"-Bruce Wayne goes to a casino to investigate an arms dealer named Rupert Thorne. Bruce witnesses the return of the Riddler, one of Gotham's first super criminals long before Bruce Wayne became Batman. Confronting the criminals with help from Gordon and the GCPD, Batman fails to capture him and is assisted by F.B.I Special Agent Samandra Watson and her team, which includes John Blake and Irma Avesta. Watson takes over the investigation involving Riddler and orders Batman to stay out of it due to dismissing the vigilante to be a coward because he wears a mask. After returning to the Batcave with a puzzle left by Riddler, Bruce solves it, though is fazed when discovering a signal emitter. When Lucius Fox, the chief of technology at Wayne Enterprises investigates, he is mysteriously killed in an explosion. Determined to find Riddler, Bruce follows another lead by interrogating Thorne and tracks him to a freight ship. After escaping another deadly game set up by Riddler, Batman manages to redirect the missiles and defeats the criminal. However, Agent Avesta becomes deaf and that prompts Blake to resign from the FBI feeling that this is all his fault when he and Avesta tried to arrest the Riddler themselves but ended up getting captured. Before leaving for Bludhaven. John meets with Bruce Wayne revealing his knowledge of him being Batman and promises not to tell anyone about it, especially Watson, who blames the vigilante for Avesta's deafness and wants to press charges on him for obstruction of justice, however, Deputy Director Ralph Bundy refuses to allow that to happen.
 * 2) "Gauntlet"-Weeks after what happened to Avesta, Blake moves to Bludhaven to accept an offer to be a police detective and becomes partners with Ethan Bennett. Blake gets informed by Lieutenant Sarah Essen and Sergeant Ethan Bennett that there has been gay people attacked all over the neighborhood. Bruce becomes personally involved in all of this when one of the victims include Lucius Fox Jr.'s husband Paul. Confronting Lucius Jr. at the hospital, Batman and Blake promise to find the people responsible. Posing as a homosexual, Blake is attacked by thugs only for Batman to come assist him. They discover the thugs work for the Red Fists branch in Bludhaven managed by Rupert Thorne's son Eric Thorne. Eric visits his dealer Freebo for an inspection. Freebo explains how business is great for the mob,  with recruitment, drugs, prostitution, protection all doing well. Eric provides his people with cocaine, but he abstains because it gives him an edge over them. Suddenly, Blake, disobeying Bruce's orders, confronts them. Blake explains to Eric that Freebo has been drawing negative attention to Thorne by coordinating the recent attacks against homosexuals. Blake adds that Freebo has a personal vendetta against homosexuals because he was twice a victim of gang rape while in prison. Despite this, Eric states that Blake won't have earned the right to be heard until he himself runs the Red Fist's initiation gauntlet. Blake agrees, taking a heavy beating, and eventually having to drag himself to the end of the line. While successful, he is badly hurt. When asked what he wants, Blake explains that it's only a matter of time before the police follow the same trail he did to find Freebo and the police will have to act because of activists. With the pressure on, a desperate Freebo reveals that he contracted AIDS as a result of his rape, which he felt justified the murder of homosexuals. Blake knocks his gun away, but Eric guns him down and allows Blake to leave. Blake later visits Bruce admitting that Batman cannot stay in Bludhaven since he has responsibilities in Gotham and decides to be a vigilante. Bruce then decides to train Blake and Lucius Jr, who is out of the hospital and refuses to ever be helpless again.
