As a child, Bruce Wayne witnessed the brutal murder of his parents that sent him on a journey across the world for twenty years in search for answers behind the criminal mind. However that all changes when an important figure from his hometown of Gotham City, Oswald Cobblepot, disappears during an expedition in the Antarctic. What Bruce finds there is a mystery that stretches back to the founding of Gotham and hints to a larger, darker, stranger universe than his mind could have imagined.

Accompanied by his young charges Dick, Kai Li, and Sanjay along with his ever faithful butler Alfred, Bruce returns to his city to find it riddled with crime on the eve of a mayoral election.
