Batman, adjusting to his new job protecting the innocent, injured and traumatized citizens of Gotham City from the floods created through The Riddler's malice, soon ends up involved in a new case that will test both him, and his alter ego Bruce Wayne. An act of chemical-based genocide begins to rock the foundations of Goth Corp., a company founded by Thomas Wayne, where bodies are found decayed and frost-bitten by blasts of cold that seem to be generating deep within the bowels of Wayne Labs. Teamed with Commissioner Gordon, and a new partner, his father's close friend and Wayne Labs head tech designer Lucius Fox, Batman must find a way to balance his two identities in this case. The villain, a heart-broken and suffering scientist named Victor Fries, has teamed up with Gotham's new kingpin, The Penguin, in an attempt to assassinate Goth Corp's corrupt CEO, Ferris Boyle, who seems to be involved in Victor's miserable descent into villainy. What has Boyle done, and can Batman save him from Victor's blood-fueled revenge?
