The Caped Crusader has seemingly perished during a tragic mission, finally bringing peace to the city of Gotham. But as a new wave of crime begins to rise, the city is once again plunged into danger and despair, and the people cry out for a hero. Timothy "Jace" Fox, the grandson of Lucius Fox—a trusted ally of the original Caped Crusader—dons the iconic cape and cowl to become the new Batman.

As old and new enemies emerge, Jace must prove himself worthy of the title of the Dark Knight and protect Gotham—along with the legacy of the hero who came before him.
