When Bruce Wayne leaves Gotham for personal reasons, Dick Grayson, the original Robin, is called upon to take the role of Batman. Putting on the legendary costume, Dick works side by side with the current Boy Wonder to defend Gotham from the everyday thugs and eccentric villains who prey upon the city. Gaining a greater appreciation for the responsibility and pressure that Bruce bears, the former sidekick proves without a doubt that he is up to the task of being the Dark Knight Detective. But when the maniacal Two-Face returns, the new Batman must overcome his childhood demons in order to defeat the first villain who he ever faced and failed against as a costumed vigilante years ago.
