Gotham City by Ducard, Bruce prevents this plan from getting any further and heads back to his home.
Back in his original surroundings, Bruce adopts the image of a bat to strike fear into the criminals and

criminals and thieves in central Asia. Eventually, he meets a mysterious figure named Ra's Al Guhl and
joins his gang called the League Of Shadows. Using his training, he is able to defeat his trainer. Finally
meeting up with his estate caretaker Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham. There, he
becomes the new head of Wayne Enterprises. Together with the help of the CEO of the Wayne
Enterprises Applied Sciences division, a man name Lucius Fox, he dons a new persona: Batman. As

the city is exposed, and a new class of criminal is born. Will Batman be the one to stop them all, or does
Gotham need a hero with a face?

Science Division Lucius Fox, he dons a new persona- Batman, to strike fear into the hearts of the
criminals and the corrupt. With the help of rising cop Gordon and the Assistant District Attorney and
Bruce's love interest Rachel Dawes, he is able to take down the mafia don Falcone, and the twisted
doctor/drug dealer Jonathan Crane aka The Scarecrow. With Ra's Al Ghul's return with his evil plan to

again so as to bring peace in Gotham.

Bruce Wayne is still traumatized from that day he fell into the earth and was surrounded by bats, or that
night his parents were murdered. But when he arrives at the headquarters of the League of Shadows, he
must conquer his fears and start his training. However, he learns that some things are not right for him
in the League and he flees, having learned skillful combat and he saves his mentor's life. When he
returns to Gotham, he learns that Scarecrow is planning to dump a dangerous drug into the water
supply to spread fear and panic throughout the population, only to learn that this plan is being
maneuvered by someone much more familiar... Gotham might tear itself apart. Wayne must finally find
a hidden identity and gain new power to save his city: Batman.

As a boy a young Bruce Wayne watched in horror as his millionaire parents were slain in front of his
eyes, a trauma which led him to become obsessed with revenge but his chance is cruelly taken away
from him by fate. After disappearing to the East where he seeks counsel with the dangerous but
honorable ninja cult leader known as Ra's Al-Ghul, he returns to his now decaying Gotham City overrun
by organized crime and dangerous individuals manipulating the system whilst the company he inherited
is slowly being pulled out from under him. The discovery of a cave under his mansion, and a prototype
armored suit leads him to take on a new persona, one which will strike fear into the hearts of men who
do wrong - he becomes, Batman. In the new guise, and with the help of rising cop Jim Gordon, Batman
sets out to take down the various nefarious schemes in motion by individuals such as mafia don Falcone,
the twisted doctor/drug dealer Jonathan 'The Scarecrow' Crane, and a mysterious third party that is
quite familiar with Wayne and waiting to strike when the time is right.
