Gotham City: dark, dangerous, 'protected' only by a mostly corrupt police
department. Despite the best efforts of D.A. Harvey Dent and police
commissioner Jim Gordon, the city becomes increasingly unsafe...until a
Dark Knight arises. We all know criminals are a superstitious, cowardly
lot...so his disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts. He
becomes a bat. Enter Vicky Vale, a prize-winning photo journalist who
wants to uncover the secret of the mysterious "bat-man". And enter Jack
Napier, one-time enforcer for Boss Grissom, horribly disfigured after a
firefight in a chemical factory...who, devoid of the last vestiges of sanity,
seizes control of Gotham"s underworld as the psychotic, unpredictable
Clown Prince of Crime...the Joker. Gotham's only hope, it seems, lies in this
dark, brooding vigilante. And just how does billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne
fit into all of this?
