20 years ago, after his fiancé Andrea Beaumont (Jessica Chastain) fled, Bruce Wayne donned the cowl and became the Batman. 20 years later, Andrea returns to Gotham after the disappearance of Andrea’s father, Carl Beaumont (Ed Harris). In Gotham, a hooded figure has been seen killing Gotham crime bosses who are tied to Carl and the hitman who shot him, who would eventually become the Joker. With this hooded figure (or "Phantasm") having a similar resemblance to Batman, the caped crusader is now on the run. When Bruce rekindles his romance with Andrea, can Batman finally retire the cowl and be happy? Who is the "Phantasm," and how far will they shake up the future of Gotham?
