This story picks up eight years after the events of The Dark Knight Rises. Bruce Wayne is still presumed to be dead and former GCPD Detective John Blake has been acting as Gotham City's Dark Knight. He didn't take up the mantle of Batman however. Instead, John Blake took to the rooftops as Red Robin with Commissioner Jim Gordon and Lucius Fox assisting him as they did Bruce Wayne years ago. Now, a gang war between newly minted crime lords Oswald "The Penguin" Cobblepot and Roman "Black Mask" Sionis has erupted in the streets of Gotham. When Jim Gordon is tragically killed in the crossfire, his daughter Barbara, now a discharged U.S. Marine, returns to Gotham looking for answers, and vengeance. Barbara joins John Blake and takes up the mantle of "Batwoman" as a tribute to the man that save her from Harvey "Two Face" when she was a kid. Together, with the help of Lucius Fox's son, Luke and two troubled teenagers, Drake Todd and Stephanie Cain, they wage all out war on the two gangs.
