 As
a young boy, Bruce Wayne watched in horror as his millionaire parents
were slain in front of him--a trauma that leads him to become obsessed
with revenge. But the opportunity to avenge his parent's deaths is
cruelly taken away from him by fate. Fleeing to the East, where he
seeks counsel with the dangerous but honorable ninja cult leader known
as Ra's Al-Ghul, Bruce returns to his now decaying Gotham City, which
is overrun by organized crime and other dangerous individuals
manipulating the system. Meanwhile, Bruce is slowly being swindled out
of Wayne Industries, the company he inherited. The discovery of a cave
under his mansion, along with a prototype armored suit, leads him to
assume a new persona, one which will strike fear into the hearts of men
who do wrong; he becomes Batman!!! In the new guise, and with the help
of rising cop Jim Gordon, Batman sets out to take down the various
nefarious schemes in motion by individuals such as mafia don Falcone,
the twisted doctor/drug dealer Jonathan 'The Scarecrow' Crane, and a
mysterious third party that is quite familiar with Wayne and waiting to
strike when the time is right.
