Plot
The film begins with the Wayne family, Thomas, Martha and Bruce, walking home from the theatre when they are confronted by a mugger. In the struggle, both Thomas and Martha are gunned down, leaving young Bruce alone with their bodies.

Suddenly, Bruce Wayne, now an adult, wakes up from his nightmare at Wayne Manor. He is comforted by his faithful butler, Alfred Pennyworth. It is revealed that Bruce has taken on the secret identity of Batman to battle crime in the corrupt Gotham City. His only ally is police commissioner James Gordon.

Batman is after crime lord Rupert Thorne, who is running for city council. When Thorne's secretary, Selina Kyle, stumbles upon his criminal dealings, he arranges for her to be murdered. Batman comes to her rescue, inspiring her to create her own secret identity; Catwoman.

Batman learns that Thorne was in fact formerly a petty thief, who actually murdered his parents. This makes him even more determined to capture Thorne. While investigating, he meets the new warden of Arkham Asylum; Hugo Strange. Unbenknownst to Batman, Strange also seeks to rid Gotham of it's criminal element, but hopes to achieve this goal by massacring all of the Arkham inmates.

Batman eventually comes into conflict with Catwoman, who is not afraid to use lethal force. As Bruce Wayne, he meets Selina Kyle again at a charity ball and is smitten by her. The two hit it off and begin to date, but it soon becomes clear of their secret identities.

Thorne then manages to capture Selina, forcing Batman to save her. After a brutal fist fight, Batman beats Thorne down and he is arrested. Due to Batman and Catwoman's crime fighting spree, the prison has become overcrowded and the new prisoners are being placed in Arkham. Batman is suspicious os Strange and uncovers his plan to wipe out the asylum's population.
