Batman is in his infancy as he battles the evil in Gotham City.  Not long after his arrival, a criminal mastermind known as the Joker appears.  On the night of his arrest, Joker is being transferred to Arkham Asylum where he will await trial.  On the way to Arkham, Joker escapes and the result is a long night that tries to defy the meaning of Batman's morals, as well as his sanity.
