Here is the sypnosis for the story:
Set 1 year after the Joker (Ledger) terrorised the steets of Gotham culminating in the scarring of Harvey Dent (Eckhart) and the death of Rachel Dawes (Gyllenhall), Batman (Bale) has been declared an outlaw by the cops who hunt him down daily led by his friend Com. Jim Gordon (Oldman). As the Joker dismantled the mob during his reign of terror, new faces came to replace them. Oswald Cobblepot, a nightclub owner and small time crook emerged known by some as the Penguin (Molina). He delves into illegal drug trafficing and is used by Batman as a source of information on the criminal underworld due to his extensive connections. Another prominent mob replacement is the "Black Mask", the leader of a growing mob that all wear masks to hide their faces. Behind the mask is Roman Sionis (Glover), once part of a wealthy family who were friends with the Thomas and Martha Wayne. Sionis killed his parents by burning down the house and took over the business but when his company released a water proof make up that burnt hundreds of woman, he disapeared. One of these women was the wife of Sal Maroni (Roberts), who survived his attack by Two Face and hires Edward Nygma (Depp) to find Sionis and bring him to him.

Also arriving in Gotham is Vicki Vale (Bell), a reporter for the Gotham Gazette who is trying to find evidence linking Sionis with the Black Mask beliving the two are the same. She becomes tangled in the Riddler's grand scheme forcing Batman to choose between saving his allies of Vale. Using the Penguin to help him find his friends, Batman saves Vale, Alfred and Fox with the help of Com. Gordon who stalls the Police on the whereabouts to give Batman time.
