He begs him to go see a movie at the theater. Thomas, Bruce's father, is way too busy with paperwork, and doesn't hear his son's childish cry of excitement. After finally paying attention to Bruce, Thomas agrees to take his son to the theater the next night. It is now the next night. Thomas, Martha (Bruce's mother), and Bruce leave the theater after the movie. Bruce is trying to discuss the movie with his father, but he is once again not listening. Thomas decides to take a shortcut through Vila, the lowest part of Gotham City, to escape the traffic. They go through the Vila alley, where they run up on three men surrounding a poker table. The three men are obviously scum. After a small altercation, one of the men begin to stand up from the table. Before doing so he slams a Joker card down on the table. Things get ugly and the man shoots and kills Thomas and Martha. Bruce is left in the alley alone. The other two men run away. The man who shot Bruce's parents goes back over to the poker table and picks up the Joker card. He stuffs the card in Bruce's front pocket.

He informs Bruce of a new threat in Gotham City. Salvorti Rage, a new citizen of Gotham, has been strangely collecting Joker cards through eBay, Craigslist, etc. Bruce kept the Joker card that was placed on him at the times of his parent's death. He created the alter ego of Batman, and has sworn to find the handler of these Joker cards and the killer of his parents. Bruce decides to visit Salvorti Rage as Batman. He discovers that Salvorti is being paid by Carmine Falcone to purchase these Joker cards. Bruce assumes that Falcone is the killer of his parents, and takes off to get revenge. Upon arriving, Batman sees Gotham City Detective, Harvey Bullock, meeting with Falcone. He realizes that Bullock is a dirty cop that is working with Falcone. Bruce informs befriended police Commissioner, Jim Gordon, of the situation. Commissioner Gordon agrees to help Bruce figure out what is going on. The Joker cards continue to show up at each and every murder scene around Gotham City, just as they have for the last 25 years. After a very tedious and lengthy study session by Bruce's butler, Alfred Pennyworth, they figure out that neither Falcone or Bullock is the murder. Batman continues to fight crime. He is getting closer to figuring out who exactly is leaving behind these Joker cards. Bruce goes to Lucius Fox to replenish his collection of Bat Toys. He is now armored and ready to go to war. Bruce finds out that a man named Jacky is leaving behind the Joker cards. Batman has his first alert cation with this Jacky character. He discovers that this man is a complete lunatic. He is a crazy man that is dressed in strange clothing, and has multi-colored dyed hair. The man continue to makes "dad-like" jokes during his battle with Batman, and even asks for breaks so that he can't laugh hysterically at himself. Batman is about to get his revenge, and save Gotham City, whenever he gets hit over the head. Bruce wakes up in the ancient ruins. A man in a green cloak and a ninja sword over looks Bruce. H introduces himself as Ra's al Ghul. He explains to Bruce that Batman will have his blessing to return to Gotham City and save the town, if and only if, he has the power to prove that he can be a true superhero and a true savior.
