Earth, 2010. On an ordinary afternoon at the Gotham Library, Judith Flass was renting Truman Capote's book "The Cold Blood" and upon leaving the library, she had her attention drawn by a group of delinquent students from the University, who called her to smoking a joint and politely, Judith refused. When I try to start the car, Judith realized it was broken and asked for an Uber. Inside Uber, the driver and Judith start talking and even flirt until a moment, the driver stabbed her. While killing the girl, he did a monologue during the act. This murder was the first in a series of murders, it shocked the entire city and former police commissioner Arnold Flass started a campaign against the incompetent Gotham police, blamed the murder on Batman (which made the media start reversing the roles of the killer and Batman) and also helping the mafia to investigate the case. From this event, Batman establishes that the union between him, Harvey Dent and Jim Gordon to investigate the murder and during the investigations of the group and the police itself, many suspects are raised. Among them, Catwoman, a famous thief who got an image of “Gotham's Robin Hood” begins to help Batman.
