BATMAN : The Dark Knight Returns

Plot synopsis:

After saving a bunch of hostages disguised as henchman of the psychopathic clown the Joker, and the fall of a heroic district attorney turned villain; Batman hid in the shadow's as the city blamed him for the death of a man he did not kill but instead to honor his previous self, sent him to Arkham Asylum, a house for the criminally insane. The district attorney was Harvey Dent who adopted the name Two-Face after burning half his face in a bomb.

While Batman hid in the shadows, Bruce Wayne was haunted by the death of his parents who were killed by Joe Chill, a murdering psychopath who was shot on the day of his trial. Next day being woken up by his faithful father-like butler, Alfred Pennyworth, he goes to work to see new experiments being developed at Wayne Enterprises. He goes there to find an obsessive scientist named Edward Nygma, a man who has a fascination for riddles and games.

Soon Nygma's creation called The Riddler picks up the identity of Batman and Bruce orders his mentor and business partner, Lucius Fox to destroy the machine. When this happens Edward Nygma, embarrassed and angry seeks revenge over Bruce and continues to ruin his life.

Meanwhile after attacking Commissioner Gordon, Harvey Two-Face escapes and threatens to kill Gordon's son the same way he, Gordon and Batman presumably killed Rachel Dawes his only lover.

Bruce hears this and thus he returns as Batman; before he finds Harvey, he is delivered two green eenvelopes with a black question mark, hinting a mark of The Riddler. He ignores it and sets off to stop Harvey from doing anything stupid.

Things go wrong when Harvey fires three bullets into Commissioner Gordon, leaving him to bleed to death. Batman tries to rush Gordon to the hospital but it becomes too late, when Harvey's coin is flipped on the scratched side and the doctors and nurses fail to revive him.

Now with Two-Face on the loose and a head of police murdered in cold blood, and a psycho obsessed with riddles out for revenge, The Batman is left in a tough spot protecting Gotham alone...
