The movie opens with a montage of Gotham City at night, showing the city's dark and crime-ridden streets. As the camera pans over the city, we hear the voice of Commissioner James Gordon speaking over the radio, recounting a string of robberies that have been plaguing the city. Suddenly, the radio crackles to life with a report of a break-in at Wayne Manor. We see the silhouette of a figure in a red hooded jacket sneaking through the mansion, stealing valuable items and causing destruction wherever he goes. As the figure makes his escape, we see the dark silhouette of Batman swinging through the city, chasing after the thief. The two engage in a high-stakes chase through the streets of Gotham, with Batman narrowly avoiding the Red Hood's traps and gadgets. As the chase comes to a climax, Batman finally corners the Red Hood on the rooftop of a skyscraper. The two engage in a fierce fight, with the Red Hood displaying incredible agility and strength. But just as it seems that the city is safe, we see the silhouette of another figure in a dark and ominous knight's armor standing on a nearby rooftop. It is the Arkham Knight, a mysterious and dangerous new villain who has come to help Red Hood. As the Arkham Knight stares down at Batman, we see the Caped Crusader's determination to take down this new threat. The movie ends with a cliffhanger, teasing the next installment in the Batman saga as the Arkham Knight stands ready to do battle with the World's Greatest Detective.
