When a madman calling himself "The Joker" wreaks havoc on the streets of Gotham, Batman must stop his rampage. But this time, the stakes are personal. The Joker kidnaps Commissioner Gordon and forces him through a nightmarish gauntlet, all to prove a twisted point about the nature of sanity and the thin line between hero and villain. In a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse, Batman races against time to save Gordon and uncover the Joker's true motives before it's too late.
