Billionaire Bruce Wayne has been fighting crime in Gotham City as Batman for some time when this film starts, but is an enigma to a city unsure of both what he is and whether he even actually exists or if he's just an urban legend. The plot here chronicles his battles with Jack Napier, a mob enforcer who goes insane after falling in a vat of chemicals and terrorizes Gotham as The Joker.
