The story begins as Bruce Wayne is still in retirement as Batman. It is only through a subconscious decision that he goes back to being Batman. Especially in the beginning of the story, it is clear that he is struggling with inner demons that are telling him to pick up where he left off as Batman. He becomes fully aware of what is going on when Alfred points out that his moustache is gone. His first act as Batman occurs as he comes to the defense of two young girls walking home at night. Carrie Kelley is one of these girls and the experience changes her young life. Seeing her opportunity to make a difference and in turn help Batman, she gets a Robin costume and joins forces with Batman as his new sidekick. Batman next battles Harvey Dent, who is newly released from the Arkham Asylum and whom the doctors believe is no threat to society. Unfortunately, the first thing he does is go straight back to his life of crime. Batman puts an end to it right away and then the secret is out: Batman is back. When the authorities catch wind of it, they do everything in their power to stop him, as they see him only as a menace. Even Superman comes out of the woodwork, at the bidding of the president, to quiet him back down. He refuses, and then goes on to squash the Joker, who is also newly released from the asylum.
