Bruce Wayne, multi-billionaire and son of one of the wealthiest families in Gotham City is also known as Batman, a vigilante and dark knight of Gotham. A gang war breaks out between Carmine Falcone and Sal Maroni due to the killing of one of each gang’s high ranking men to provoke chaos between the two factions. A masked man follows Batman and stalks him to learn his preferences, the way he fights, and who he really is under the mask. As the gang war escalated further, Batman saw more of this masked man and his watching of him. Finally, the masked man shows himself and challenges Batman to a fight and calls himself, “the bane of you existence” and Batman calls him Bane for short. Batman eventually gets his back broken over Bane’s knee and is left to die. Batman calls Alfred to come get him and bring him to the Batcave. Batman gets fixed up with a brace on his broken spine and matches the voice to a Diego Torres and owns a Sionis Industries warehouse on the docks in Otisburg. Before finding Bane, he takes on a whole group of thugs from both gangs before confronting Carmine Falcone with his newfound evidence to call off the gang war. Batman drives to the warehouse and catches Bane by surprise when he pulls him through the floor and into the basement. Batman beats Bane by cutting off his venom supply and beating him into the ground. He leaves Bsne hanging and gives him to Jim Gordon. The movie ends with a flying shot of Gotham with Batman narrating.
