Plot synopsis
Shortly after the events of The Dark Knight, The Joker, locked away within the depths of Arkham Asylum, seduces a young psychiatrist, Dr. Holly Robinson, and eventually carves a smile similar to his into her face, and she subsequently becomes Harley Quinn. She breaks him out of Arkham and the two escape Gotham.

Nearly a decade later, former police officer Robin John Blake inherits the Batcave of Bruce Wayne and gives the Batsuit a redesign. He abandons the cape, cowl, and bat theme altogether and becomes Nightwing, as he infiltrates Gotham's mob, which is ruled by fashionable mobster and pimp Oswald Cobblepot who owns the Iceberg Lounge. Meanwhile, The Joker and Harley Quinn, hearing the news of Batman's death, return to Gotham to reign terror.
