Explosions echo throughout the mean streets of Gotham as rival gangs battle for control of the city. Anarchy reigns supreme with the sudden disappearance of Police Commissioner James Gordon and the lockdown of Arkham Asylum, home for the criminally insane. By using all of his skills, both mental and physical, as well as a variety of gadgets, Batman must stop the gang war, infiltrate Arkham Asylum and rescue the Commissioner. During this time, Batman must also piece together clues to discover the mastermind behind these seemingly unrelated events and stop an evil plan that threatens the fate of the entire world!

Batman has been fighting crime, in several forms of media, for over sixty years. His story, introduced in the comics in 1939, has become one of legend. After witnessing the murder of both his parents as a young boy, multi-billionaire Bruce Wayne spent his life in pursuit of physical and mental perfection in order to wage an unrelenting war on crime. Adopting the form of a bat in order to strike terror into the hearts of criminals, who are "a superstitious, cowardly lot," Bruce Wayne, as The Batman, continues to fight to keep the streets of Gotham safe. Newspaper strips, a radio series, and live-action and animated TV and movies have followed. Batman will also be appearing as a member of the Justice League, launching on the Cartoon Network this fall.
