Unknowingly the family steps out the back door into an ally where Thomas and Martha Wayne are shot, Their ex-british army butler, Alfred arrives too late to pick them up, and later is labelled as Bruce's legal guardian. Giving the boy a break, Alfred takes him on a 13 year trip around the globe, all the while, teaching him self-defense. At the end of the 13th year, Alfred leaves the adult Bruce in Japan as he returns to Gotham to prepare the estate for Bruce's imminent return.

Returning to Wayne Manor 3 years later, Alfred moves all of Wayne's memorabilia into the estate which includes Samurai Armor and a broad selection of Katanas. One sword in particular caught Alfred's eye as being a Yakuza Katana then begins to question Bruce about what he was doing in Japan, but to no avail. Keeping his return currently a secret, Bruce stays in the house for a week. Alfred leaves for a trip up to Bludhaven for the weekend, and people (unaware of Bruce's return) break into the house. Quickly attacking them as a response, Bruce uses the Japanese self defense weapons he has displayed on his wall to disarm and defeat the intruders.

With all but one defeated, Bruce finds the last intruder leaving the building with Thomas Wayne's ring and Bruce decides to take the shortcut through the building to intercept the thief where he ends up falling through the floor into the abandoned basement of the estate. Waking up thousands of bats, Bruce begins to hyperventilate and the memories of his parents death come back to him. Trapped in the basement without means of contact, Bruce is left with the words of his mentor in Japan on the topic of calming down. So instead of losing control of himself in the basement, he learns from the experience.

Alfred returns in time to save Bruce and upon rising, Bruce sees the Samurai suit and becomes inspired. Bruce is grief stricken upon the loss of his last tangible thing to remind him of his mother, he remodels the entire samurai suit, making it flexible, safe, and black. Eventually, he fashions a new piece of headgear and is finished. Equipping himself with two Japanese Hanbō, Bruce begins his crusade to get the ring back, wearing the suit to mask his identity.

Police Commissioner Gordon returns to the GCPD building to pick up his new partner Harvey Bullock. The two meet then they go to find a citizen who is responsible for not paying a parking ticket, while along the way Bullock stops the car and confronts a group of Police assaulting a homeless woman. They turn their attack on Bullock and reluctantly, Gordon comes to his side and frees the Woman, Bullock giving her a sum of cash as well. After getting the rundown on how things work in Gotham, Bullock becomes enraged at the amount of police corruption in Gotham. He then begins to ask who allows this, and Gordon refuses to answer, but Bullock is determined to find out.

Bruce intercepts a big drug shipment by Cobblepot, where he finds the man who stole the ring, Jacob Weaver, to be the only person to escape the scene. Finding him on a rooftop across from him, Bruce misses the jump and realizes it's time for a change.

He secretly finds Mr. Fox of the Wayne Enterprises tech branch, and asks him a favor, giving him a large sum of cash to create for him gadgets. Accepting the offer, Bruce leaves.

Roughly a month later, the gadget is complete, along with throwing stars Bruce made himself. Soon, he spots Weaver again, on top of the Sionis corps building, wearing the ring, and alone. Approaching Weaver, he assaults the man, quickly breaking his finger and removing the ring. Batman is then beaten by more thugs on the roof whom he didn't see and thrown off of it, losing the ring again to Weaver.

Using his new grappling hook, he just barely is able to swing his way through a window in the Sionis building. It's not too long before he's apprehended and is tossed into a meeting room, where Roman "Black Mask" Sionis and Mayor Oswald "Penguin" Cobblepot are making a deal with their gangs. Oswald then orders for him to be killed ASAP but Batman escapes, enraging Penguin even more. He storms out of the room and gets the Detective Eddie Nigma on the phone, offering him half a million dollars for the identity of Batman. Nigma agrees and begins his plan.

Bruce returns home and finds that he's being called "Batman". Later, Bruce Wayne "The Batman" saves a large group of cops from a burning building, among the cops is Detective Nigma who waits until everyone else is free to fire at Batman. Batman then disarms Nigma and kicks him out of a building, catching him with his grapnel gun and snapping his leg.

Batman is labelled as a villain by the police and they begin their hunt for him as well, giving Nigma the perfect alibi. It is soon revealed that Commissioner Gordon did not want to attack the Batman, but due to pressure by fellow policemen, gave into it. At around the same time, Mayoral Elections are coming up, and District Attorney Harvey Dent's Wife, Gina Dent, is running against Mayor Cobblepot.

Knowing what Cobblepot will do, Batman turns his sights into protecting Gina. Using this to his advantage, Nigma begins his plan to play games with Batman. Going to Cobblepot, one more time, Nigma asks of another favor, this time being to free an inmate Nigma put in years before when he was a lawful detective. Accepting, Nigma continues his plan.

Batman gets a call to the south end of downtown Gotham where a Mrs. Dent has been murdered. Arriving to the scene, Batman discovers that it indeed is not Gina Dent, but possibly an attempt to scare her.

Later, Bruce Wayne announces his official return to Gotham City, and Cobblepot throws a party in celebration. At the party, Cobblepot tries to persuade Bruce to fund his campaign, but giving a stern no, Cobblepot then has him sent up to the roof to be roughed up a bit. On the roof, Bruce finds in the group Jacob Weaver, and plans to get the ring this time. Putting up a fight, Bruce is able to knock Weaver unconscious and takes the ring, but is it knocked out of his hand and thrown off the rooftop. Not wanting to attract anymore attention, Bruce escapes.

Behind the skyscraper, Bruce puts on his Batman suit and enters the building, where he discovers in the hallway another dead body with the last name Dent, but this time, he discovers tiny patches of blood which are not from the victim. Calling in Alfred, he is told about Zsasz and his habits, then Batman gets his first suspect. Down the hall, Nigma and a group of guards find Batman, and begin firing. Bruce fights them off, and recognizes Nigma.

Nigma finds Cobblepot and reports to him that he just needs a little bit more time. Refusing to give him such, Cobblepot becomes aggrivated and fires his weapon at Nigma, whom in response disarms him and flees the building using the firearm. Nigma finds Zsasz and tells him to continue killing, as he is now obsessed with finding the identity of Batman.

Bruce returns back to Wayne Manor where he looks up everybody in Gotham with the last name Dent, noticing Gina is the last one left. At a rally, Batman watches over, making sure there is nobody there to hurt her. After the speech, she's escorted behind the stage by a security guard whom Batman notices has tally marks carved into his arm. Dashing forward, Bruce puts up a struggle with Zsasz, and helps Gina escape. Zsasz and Batman are confronted by Gordon, and their both put into custody, but Batman attempts to escape, breaking Gordon's nose.

Eventually he is taken into custody, with Nigma sitting beside him in the truck alone, Nigma begins a conversation with Batman, telling him he knows that he's Bruce Wayne, saying he figured it all out from Weaver, then he hands Batman his father's ring. Nigma gets a change of heart, and then tells Batman he will help him escape as long as he takes care of Cobblepot. Batman doesn't respond but Nigma takes it as a yes.

As the doors open, Nigma pulls his firearm and shoots the guards, and defends Batman as he escapes. Nigma is then arrested and taken into police custody at the GCPD building and later transferred to Blackgate Prison.

Bruce returns to Wayne Manor and puts the ring back in its place. Minutes later, Bruce quickly returns to find the ring, and makes the decision to melt it, finding wires inside of it. Resting at the fact that it takes at least an hour for that type of tracker to send it's location. Soon, he walks into Blackgate as Bruce Wayne and sets up a talk with Nigma. Nigma is compliant and tells Bruce that he went to Cobblepot weeks ago and asked for the ring he heard Batman was trying to take. Bruce believes him then asks where Cobblepot is. Nigma does not know and Bruce leaves the prison.

Bruce travels to city hall where he arranges a meeting with Cobblepot where he states that he is now willing to fund his campaign, Cobblepot agrees and sets up the appointment. A few days later, Cobblepot waits in his office for Bruce to show up.
