10 years have passed since the previous opus. Batman has made new allies in the meantime, as well as new enemies... and suffered a heavy defeat against his worst enemy. It is in this particular context that his former lover, Talia Al Ghul, returns to him after years, in the company of his blood son: Damian! While he will have to get to know him, a mysterious bloodthirsty vigilante calling himself "Red Hood" begins to target the criminal empire of the terrible Black Mask. Batman seems to know this vigilante, although that was years ago. For his part, the Joker receives a new psychiatrist in Arkham, who finds him fascinating, Doctor Harleen Quinzel, something that the prince of crime could use to his advantage. But the worst thing is the arrival of a mysterious and powerful new supervillain, only known as "Bane". This one, in the company of a veritable army of loyal mercenaries and super-villains who want revenge for the defeat, has only one ambition in life: to break the black knight! And with this one starting to get tired, he could well achieve his goal...
