Summary

In 2045, Tim Drake (Mark Wahlberg) has became Batman but Gotham is attacked by Scarecrow (John DiMaggio) who introduces a new villain called The Arkham Knight (Adam Driver).

Plot

The film starts with The Joker's (Mark Hamill) dead body being cremated at Gotham morgue. However, deep down, people must learn that Gotham is still not safe.

Later, an cop named Officer Owens (Vince Vaughan) is going to Paula's diner but a citizen (Ben Stiller) reports a smoker in the corner booth. He approaches the smoker but is attacked by him, being revealed to be a scarecrow henchman. The whole diner is under attack and Officer Owens tries to shoot them but is jumpscared and traumatized by one of them. (the main titles "Batman: Arkham Knight" later appear)

In the city, a broadcast reveals that Scarecrow (John DiMaggio) survived that attack from the second film and is the one behind this terrorism. He plans on taking over Gotham with his Fear toxin and warns civilians to leave the city or else they will suffer. The city is now in panic.

At G.C.P.D., Mayor Gordon (Malcolm McDowell) calls in the new Batman: Tim Drake (Mark Wahlberg). They are told that Scarecrow has also made an evil army of villains. They also have reports that A.C.E. chemicals is under attack. Tim agrees to take down Scarecrow.

At the bad guy hangout, Scarecrow recruits metahumans: a human insect named Drury Walker a.k.a. Killer Moth (Jason Spisak), a now mutated Garfield Lynns now calling himself Phosphorus (voiced by Zac Efron), Electrocutoner's cousin Jack Buchinsky (Steve Blum), an undead Mark Desmond now called Blockbuster (voiced by John DiMaggio), a Wonderland obsessed fan named Jervis Tetch who calls himself The Mad Hatter (Sacha Baron Cohen), a street fighting assassin nicknamed Bronze Tiger (Kevin Hart), a cyborg technician named Noah Kutter a.k.a. Calculator (Domhnall Gleeson), and strong man with tusks that calls himself Tusk (voiced and portrayed by Kane). He also introduces his second-in-command The Arkham Knight (Adam Driver), who has an unknown vendetta against Batman.
