But Gotham, corrupt from top to bottom, resists the detective's efforts: from his colleagues to the underworld. James Gordon has started a war in which both supervillains and pawns will appear. And while Bruce Wayne grows up and becomes wiser to become Batman, the honest detective will protect the law and order of Gotham.
