New Police Psychiatrist Prof. Hugo Strange is made adviser to a special task force aimed to capture Batman led by Gordon who is secretly sabotaging their missions whilst aligned with Batman against the mob. Strange however is it for himself after being hired by Talia, the estranged daughter of former Ra's al Ghul who has taken his mantle and come to Gotham seeking revenge creating a new, meaner League of Shadows. Talia wants Batman's identity so she can have her revenge against Batman but Strange is playing a different game. He is secretly fascinated with Batman and taking his place and after discovering Bruce Wayne is Batman, plays a dangerous game by trying to send Bruce insane using the memory of his parents. With the seeming world against him, Bruce has seemingly found some comfort with Vicki Vale, a journalist for The Gotham Times who believes him to be Batman and is secretly investigating him but she soon becomes caught up in Strange's outrages plan that causes Batman to push himself to the limit to stop another love from dying at the cost of his actions. With support from loyal butler Alfred, a new Bat mobile from Lucius Fox and secret support from Police Commissioner Gordon, Batman takes his level of crime fighting to a new level."
NOTES
- At the beginning of the film, Vicki and Bruce have already been on a few dates together. Vicki is after a major scoop on Bruce with her suspicion that he is Batman but is also falling in love and struggling whether to continue to her investigation. Her suspicions arose shortly after The Dark Knight when Bruce Wayne didn't appear in public for 2 months.
- Talia does meet Bruce Wayne in this film and takes a shine to him. When Bruce finds out about Vicki investigating him he breaks it off and Talia kindly steps in and takes Bruce out to dinner. Bruce later finds out that the new Ra's al Ghul is Talia when he meets her as Batman at the docks sneaking in League Assassins.
- There IS a Joker cameo at the end of my movie where Hugo Strange is taken to Arkham. There is also a cameo from Jonathan Crane.
- Sal Maroni survives the car crash from The Dark Knight and is working with Talia to track down Batman's lair. He has also taken over Gambol and Chechen's business and has a new reign over Gotham's criminal world.
- There is a new Batmobile. It is a sleeker version of the Tumbler and is built by Fox gradually throughout the movie and is introduced about half way through.
Let me know. I know there is no pictures but this is more about the story than the cast.
