    Summary

    Gotham is a city that feeds on fear, and this is the story of the moment it creates the one man who will one day starve it. When young Bruce Wayne watches his parents die in a fog‑choked alley, the city doesn’t just take his family — it takes his faith. The GCPD closes the case, the elite offer hollow condolences, and Gotham quietly teaches him its first brutal lesson: justice here is optional, and usually for sale. That betrayal becomes the spark that begins forging him into something new, something dangerous, something Gotham isn’t ready for.

    As Bruce returns home, a new threat rises: the Hood Gang, led by the enigmatic Red Hood, ignites turf wars that turn Gotham’s nights into battlegrounds. Detective Jim Gordon fights to hold the line from inside a corrupt department, while Bruce begins testing the shadows from the outside. Their paths circle the same darkness, each man trying to drag Gotham back from the edge in his own way. A storm is coming, and Gotham is starting to whisper a name it doesn’t fully understand… yet.
