After the murder of his parents, Bruce Wayne grows up obsessed with understanding what really happened that night. As an adult, he begins a crusade against crime under the identity of Batman, but his first steps are far from those of a perfectly prepared vigilante: inexperienced, fallible, and still driven by anger, he must learn to survive his own mistakes. Aided by Alfred Pennyworth, a former soldier who has become his protector, Bruce investigates the corruption consuming Gotham and the powerful figures controlling it from the shadows. This grounded reimagining of Batman’s origins presents a hero still being shaped, forced to confront both his own limitations and the secrets of his city.
