Batman and Robin patrol Gotham's streets when a new adversary emerges. The White Knight appears with unknown motives, challenging the Dark Knight's methods and threatening the city's fragile peace. Meanwhile, the villain Absence stalks through shadows, leaving destruction in her wake. The greatest threat comes from within the Bat family itself when Jason Todd, the former Robin who died and returned as the violent Red Hood, resurfaces as a renegade force. Bruce Wayne and his current Robin, Damian Wayne, must confront enemies who know their secrets and exploit their weaknesses. The mysterious White Knight proves particularly dangerous, wielding knowledge that could unravel everything Batman has built. As multiple conflicts converge, the father and son crime fighting team faces tests that will determine whether their partnership can survive the assault from past and present foes who understand exactly how to hurt them most.
