Once a town controlled by organized crime, Gotham city suddently finds itself being run by lawless freaks such as Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, and the Joker. Witnessing his city dark evolution, the Dark Knight completes his transformation into the city’s greatest defender. He faces multiple threats, including the seeming return of a serial killer called Holiday.
