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
