This alternate Earth is home to a darker, more brutal version of Batman fighting crime and the corrupt Gotham City Police Department alike alongside his young partner, Robin, much to the consternation of both the public and the burgeoning Justice League. Ultimately, Batman retired in his 40s after the death of the second Robin, Jason Todd, as well as increased public outcry against superheroes driving most of his contemporaries into exile. He returned 10 years later alongside a new Robin, Carrie Kelley, to save Gotham from the unchecked street crime and political corruption that had thrown it into chaos, eventually assembling an army to take the country back from a corrupt administration headed in secret by Lex Luthor that had effectively enslaved the remaining heroes such as Superman, Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel.
