Gotham Knights

After my parents were murdered

I was adopted by the richest man in the city.

He took me in.

Gave me everything I could want.

Except the reason why.

In a city filled with orphans

why me?

Turns out, that wasn't the only secret he was keeping.

He hid from the world who he really was.

Behind a mask.

Point!

But then again, so did I.

Pretending to fit into a world I didn't belong.

But it's only when you're forced to take off the mask

that you discover who you really are.

Just saying, you could've thrown the match

and had the next four weekends off.

Clearly, I did not think this through.

Should I ask Brody for a do-over?

Deny your dad the chance

to have another championship fencer in the family?

Hard nope.

Where is he, anyway?

He said he was gonna be here.

Guessing he had to work late.

Hey!

Who's up for a party at my house?

- Hi, Turner! - Hey, Turner!

Hey, guys.

Oh, shit!

Nice reflexes. Thanks...

Carrie.

- We have trig together. - Right.

Sorry, I suck.

Tell that to all the people here to celebrate you going to State.

I don't know half their names, either.

Desecrating your father's house, I see.

Well, then, carry on.

Cressida, I'll make sure this is all cleaned up.

Oh, I haven't seen a thing.

I certainly haven't seen the amorous couple

making use of the billiards room.

Guys, come on.

There are 30 other rooms in this place to hook up

and that's a 17th-century couch.

Technically, it's a canapé.

Stephanie?

Mom, I swear we were just talking.

Yeah. Sorry, man. We'll...

find somewhere else to pick up our conversation.

Somebody broke into the good stuff.

Your dad gonna be okay with that?

I don't think he'll miss it.

As your best friend, I'm telling you he's not gonna miss

the 90-decibel fire code violation in his great room, either.

I doubt he can hear it from Wayne Tower.

Hey.

Okay, they're blind. We're clear.

And next time... I'll ride in the cart.

Yeah, not gonna be a next time.

At least not with her.

Motion sensors are toast.

Come along, team.

Crime is money.

What?

Never broke into a place this fancy.

This place looks like a museum had sex with a bank vault.

Yeah, not what I was thinking, but yeah, also not incorrect.

Hello, hello, my pretty lady.

How many zeroes are you worth?

Duela?

Can we focus on our plan, please?

You mean, my plan?

That includes me not-so-patiently waiting

for your sister to get the safe open.

Somebody beat me to it.

All right, I don't like this.

There you are, you .38-caliber cutie.

We got paid a hundred K to steal an old gun?

She's not just any old gun.

She's the one Joe Chill used to pop Bruce Wayne's mom and dad.

The barrel's warm.

It's been fired recently.

Okay, now I... now I really don't like this.

Oh, my God.

We've been set up.

Go... go!

Hey, Dent. You don't wanna see this.

Bruce?

Freeze! Stop right there!

Suspects spotted entering north stairwell.

Copy that, have visual confirmation. North stairwell. North stairwell.

All units divert to the north stairwell.

Okay. South stairwell it is.

What are you drinking?

You know how to make a...

"Coulda Hooked Up With Anyone And You Picked Brody"?

I'm not sure I have the ingredients for that.

Could I interest you in a

"At Least I Didn't Hook Up With Olive Silverlock

In My Dad's Maserati"?

Here's to questionable choices.

Didn't say I was questioning mine.

You know he's just jealous of you, right?

You have everything he wants.

Everybody, relax. I got this.

Harvey.

Turner...

It's your father.

I'm so, so sorry.

I don't even know how to tell you this.

He's dead.

After what happened to your parents... this...

I am gonna find who did this, and I'm gonna make them pay.

That's what everybody said back then.

Turner, there are gonna be some things

comin' out about your dad.

So I have to ask you this.

Did you know he was Batman?

He can't be Batman!

If he was, where is it?

Where's the Batsuit?

He would've told me.

Sometimes parents keep secrets.

I know my dad.

And he sure as hell was not sneaking out at night fighting bad guys!

He would've told me.

It's gonna be okay.

Do you hear that?

Oh, my God.

It's true.

Thousands have lined the streets

to honor the city's fallen hero

Bruce Wayne

who, Gotham has now learned, was Batman.

Wayne is survived by his son, Turner Hayes

who he adopted from the slums of Burnside.

Now twice orphaned, Hayes joins the city in grief.

One that is left to wonder

who will protect Gotham

now that Batman is dead.

Dent.

Got an anonymous tip

on where Wayne's killers might be holed up.

Good.

Guys, this is blood money.

This is the money that is finally gonna get

you and me out of Gotham.

Okay? We didn't kill anyone.

An entire city thinks that we killed Batman.

Which is exactly what whoever set us up wanted.

I mean, why... why else would they pay us

- all this money upfront? - That's your complaint?

Really? That I didn't get them on an installment plan?

You didn't even get their name.

Oh! Well, what was I supposed to do?

Ask for an ID?

Maybe a gas bill? A canceled cheque?

You see, in crime

people who hire you to do something illegal

usually don't want it traced back to them.

Exactly. And now it only traces back to us.

Funeral is starting.

If we wanna get out of here now, now's our chance.

For years, you knew Bruce Wayne

as Gotham's most prominent businessman.

And now you know him as the city's savior, Batman.

But to me...

he was just my dad.

He had an entire city to save...

and yet he insisted on saving one more.

Me.

Freeze! Back off!

When my parents were killed

he gave me a home.

He took a scared, broken kid

from the worst part of Gotham

and raised me as his own.

An orphan himself...

he was no stranger to how dangerous and cruel this city can be.

But instead of retreating into despair...

he became a force for justice.

A beacon of hope...

for all to look to when hope seems lost.

What he stood for, will always live on.

Because my father believed that each of us could become a light

strong enough to defy the darkness.

Turner.

I just got word GCPD apprehended the killers.

They found them with the money they were paid for the murder.

I know it's not gonna... bring your dad back

but I thought you might find a little solace

knowing that... we got 'em.

No.

Not until I know who put them up to it.

Turner...

We're gonna find whoever it was.

Are you sure?

With no Batman

who's gonna solve the murder of Bruce Wayne?
