A new restart of the "Batman" franchise under the helm of "Memento" Director
Chris Nolan and more in tone with the early "Batman: Year One" style
comics. 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 organised 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 armoured 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.
