Batman has been murdered, and his killer remains at large. Dick Grayson is long since retired from his superhero days and raising a family with his wife Barbara Gordon. After his former mentor's death, however, Dick decides to resume his crime-fighting days as Robin.
Commissioner Gordon is aware of Grayson's secret identity and assists him by supplying official documents. The head of the investigation into Batman's death is indicated to be Chief O'Hara, who also knows Grayson's identity. He strongly wants Grayson to not become involved, even to the point of aligning with Selina Kyle/Catwoman to eliminate Robin and shouting at reporter Clark Kent that he wants "him [presumably Grayson] out of the equation!" O'Hara is also seen rolling up his sleeves, preparing to assault an angry captive Gordon. * Grayson is aware of Superman's secret identity; he addresses him as "Clark". Superman apparently is also motivated (from O'Hara) to discourage Grayson's return to crimefighting and three confrontations between the characters are shown, in and out of costume. Grayson is also angered to violence by the sight of a Superman comic book, suggesting a negative history between the two. * Longtime Batman villains Penguin and Riddler briefly appear, with a larger role taken by the Joker. A brief scene features Barbara Gordon crawling away from a door as the Joker breaks in. Afterwards, the Joker is seen walking through a park with the Graysons' daughter. * Wonder Woman is shown deflecting bullets from her bracelets, snaring Robin in her golden lasso, and mourning over what appears to be the body of Superman. * An unidentified Green Lantern has a momentary appearance, standing next to a fallen Robin, though the context is unexplained. *The trailer suggests the Justice League wants to stop Grayson from announcing Batman's death.
It is implied that Batman may not actually be dead.
