## **SYNOPSIS**

### **Movie Plot**

In a flashback, young Thomas Elliot rushes to Wayne Manor for help. His parents had died in a car crash. Thomas Wayne helps Thomas's mother, however his father had died. Outraged, Thomas takes his anger out on his best friend, Bruce Wayne.

In the present day, Bruce, who is now Batman, has his hands full with Bane who has kidnapped a child and holding him in a warehouse. Batman is able to rescue the child however he quickly gets word of Catwoman stealing money. He tries to catch her. Grappling onto a building, his rope is mysteriously cut and he falls onto the icy ground, heavily injuring himself and breaking a lot of bones, and fracturing his skull.

Surrounded by thugs who want to kill him, he is rescued by Batgirl and taken back to the Batcave. Alfred arranges for surgery from Bruce's friend, Tommy Elliot. Damian arranges a conspiracy to explain Bruce Wayne's absence. After his surgery, Bruce, along with the help of Nightwing, manage to work out that Bane and Catwoman were under the control of Poison Ivy.

Batman interrogates Catwoman and goes to Metropolis to catch Ivy. Meanwhile, Ivy is visited by the mysterious Hush, giving him his half of the money Catwoman stole. Batman is able to track down Ivy with the help of Superman, and he takes her back to Gotham City.

Meanwhile, Harley Quinn is preparing dinner at the abandoned amusement mile, when she too is visited by Hush. He shows her a picture of The Joker, gagged and heavily beaten. He tells her she needs to rob the gala event that will promote Thomas Elliot to director of Gotham Hospital.

Bruce attends the event and meets Thomas, thanking him for helping him with his surgery. Thomas goes to make his speech, but Harley interrupts. Bruce immediately leaves and returns as Batman, with Nightwing by his side. Nightwing protects the people from the gangs and fights Harley Quinn, while Batman searches for Tommy who mysteriously went missing. He finds Tommy dead with Joker looming over his body, the gun with the bang flag in his hand.

Batman gets extremely angry while Joker protests his innocence, claiming he didn't kill Tommy. Batman doesn't believe him and beats The Joker half to death, until Jim Gordon shows up and stops him.

Meanwhile, Batman and Nightwing are in the Batcave, with Batman concluding that Joker didn't kill Tommy. He had escaped from the place where the kidnapper had him, and had just stumbled upon Tommy's dead body the minute Batman walked in. On the CCTV cameras the patrol the street, Batman notices a van driving out of control, only to discover the driver is The Riddler. Batman and Nightwing go after him.

Batman captures Riddler, but notices Hush looking at him from a window. Hush confesses to everything. Suddenly, the dead Tommy emerges from the shadows, melting and turning into Clayface. Batman fights Clayface, giving Hush enough time to escape. Meanwhile, Nightwing gets word from Alfred that there has been some disturbing activity in the Gotham cemetery. Nightwing, along with Damian, go and check it out.

They get to the cemetery, only to discover Scarecrow waiting for them. Scarecrow unleashes his fear gas upon them, Nightwing putting on a breathing mask but Damian being affected. Nightwing tries to get to Damian but Scarecrow forces him to fight. When Nightwing beats Scarecrow, he screams that Hush will kill him if he failed. Nightwing calls the GCPD to arrest Scarecrow, and manages to cure Damian.

Batman and Clayface continue to fight but he ultimately defeats Clayface. Batman and Jim go to Arkham Asylum to confront The Riddler. Batman manages to figure out that Riddler was behind everything, and discovers that Riddler knows Batman's secret identity. Jim leaves Batman and Riddler to themselves. Riddler tells Batman to meet him in the lower grounds of Gotham General the next night, and claims there is a surprise for him.

The next night, Riddler breaks out of Arkham and meets Batman. Riddler confesses to being diagnosed with a terminal illness, and that he was on the road to death. He manipulated the events from earlier in the film to find and use one of Ra's Al Ghul's Lazarus pits. And while he was in the pit, he managed to deduce that Batman was actually Bruce Wayne. Riddler then reveals that he had teamed up with Tommy Elliot and transformed him into Hush, and that he had manipulated Clayface, Scarecrow, Harley, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Bane and Joker into going up against him.

Riddler then tells Batman that the next stage of his plan is revealing Batman's identity. However Batman manages to convince him not to do it. Because since Riddler is obsessed with riddles, revealing Batman's identity to the world would be like a riddle that everyone knows the answer to. And a riddle that everyone knows the answer to is worthless. And for extra precaution, Batman tells Riddler that if he does reveal his identity, then he would tell Ra's Al Ghul that Riddler used his Lazarus pit. And since Ra's Al Ghul doesn't let anyone use his pits, he would send the League of Shadows after Riddler.

The next night, Batman confronts Hush on the bridge where his parents had their car accident. The two get into a fight and Hush reveals that he was angry at Bruce's father for saving his mother. Hush had severed the breaks on his parents car in the hopes of becoming an orphan. Hush and Batman continue to fight, and the GCPD eventually show up. Hush jumps into the river and Batman tells Jim that Hush was an old friend.

At the end of the film, Bruce puts his batsuit back into the place where he stores it. Alfred puts a tuxedo onto him, and he travels up the elevator.
