Synopsis: It has been eight years since Batman
vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to
fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark
Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both
hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal
activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime
Dent Act.
But everything will change with the arrival of a
cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous,
however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless
plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if
he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.
