Plot
15 years ago, billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne, and their thirteen-year-old son Bruce, were mugged after exiting the movie theater. Thomas and Martha were murdered, though Bruce was spared. Ten years later, Bruce returned from three years training in martial arts and skilled fighting. Now, Bruce operates as the vigilante Batman, who is a myth in Gotham City. Detective Jim Gordon insists on taking down the Batman, as does the Commissioner Gillian Loeb. However, Captain Sarah Essen supports him, preventing most of the police force from taking him down. Bruce's butler, Alfred Pennyworth, helps Bruce in taking down the large crime rate. Elsewhere in the city, Jack Napier, a stand-up comedian, is booed off the stage. Jack goes home, where his pregnant wife, Jeanie, is with his two kids. It is revealed they are living in poverty. THIS RECAP IS NOT FINISHED
