Meanwhile Detective James Gordon has also returned to Gotham City in hopes of showing his daughter the city he grew to love but must mirgrate through the corruption of the GCPD by the Falcone and Maroni Crime Families. The first season is a loose adaption of the "Batman Year One" storyline and features a young Bruce Wayne navigating through Gotham's corruption as young billionaire Bruce Wayne by day and its criminal activity as a masked vigilante called the Dark Knight. After a few rough tries at crime fighting Bruce changes his outfit into a cape and cowl in the shape of a bat, the animal he fears and soon garners the name The Batman. He uncovers a connection with Gotham's high level officials and the mob and tries to bring to light the connections and put a dent into the mob. He gains an ally with Harvey Dent and Det.

During the season we see Bruce encounter Selina Kyle, a high level escort who is a thief and she herself by seasons end dons a mask and costume as the Catwoman. As the season comes to a close Batman faces off against the Red Hood Gang and one of the members falls into a vat of chemicals and later awakens with a crazed laugh signaling the birth of the Joker. In the closing moments of the season we learn that all these events take place a year before Oliver Queen is found and returns to Starling City, connecting the universes together.
