BATMAN

CHAPTER: 1, Dawn OF Legends

It’s Been 5 years since Bruce became Batman and became a terrifying legend throughout Gotham City. Criminals whisper about him, the GCPD struggles to understand him, and Gotham's powerful families consider him a threat to their control. Bruce has spent years attacking street crime, but he has never been able to break the city's organized criminal system. That changes when members of the Falcone and Maroni crime families begin turning up dead on major holidays. The killer leaves behind carefully chosen clues, leading the press to name the mysterious murderer Holiday. Batman begins investigating the murders alongside Lieutenant Jim Gordon and Gotham's newly elected district attorney, Harvey Dent. Gordon believes Batman can be useful despite operating outside the law, while Dent believes the three of them can finally destroy Gotham's criminal empire through the legal system. Bruce becomes increasingly convinced that Holiday's murders are part of something much larger, especially when both Falcone and Maroni begin blaming each other and their organizations descend into a violent war.As the investigation continues, Bruce's personal life begins falling apart. His obsession with Batman causes him to become distant from Alfred and neglect his responsibilities as Bruce Wayne. He also encounters Selina Kyle, a skilled thief who has connections to Gotham's criminal underworld and seems to know more about the Falcone family than she admits. Batman eventually discovers that the Holiday killings have helped destabilize Gotham's old criminal order, creating a vacuum that more dangerous criminals are beginning to fill. Harvey Dent becomes increasingly consumed by the case after Falcone targets him and his family, and his determination to destroy Gotham's corruption begins turning into obsession. During a confrontation with the criminal families, Harvey suffers a devastating injury that permanently changes his life. He emerges as Two-Face
