Overview

Chapter 1 begins with Bruce Wayne's return to Gotham City after years abroad with the League of Shadows. He witnesses Carmine Falcone's criminal empire operating openly and decides it's time to become something more than a man. This chapter introduces Batman's first appearance, his partnership with Detective Jim Gordon, and the mysterious Red Hood.

Part 1: The Return

• Bruce arrives at Wayne Tower penthouse via helicopter
• Interact with Alfred (dialogue scene). He offers tea — accept or decline (no gameplay impact)
• Examine the Batsuit in the glass case for an optional cutscene
• Walk to the rooftop terrace for the "birth of Batman" scene
• First flight: Use the glide mechanic to descend from Wayne Tower to street level. Aim for the Bat-Signal marker

Part 2: Crime Scene Investigation

• Land near the GCPD marker where Jim Gordon is investigating a crime scene
• Detective Vision (RB/R1): Activate vision mode to see clues highlighted in gold
• Follow the evidence trail: Bullet casings → tire tracks → witness footprints
• Reconstruct the crime: Use vision mode to play a holographic replay. Identify the suspect's face
• Gordon is skeptical but accepts help. Batman/Gordon partnership begins

Part 3: Falcone's Warehouse

• Approach the waterfront warehouse — stealth section
• Use gargoyles and perches to perform stealth takedowns on rooftop guards
• Open the skylight: Use Batclaw to pull open the weak point
• Drop inside and clear the main floor. Gordon covers the exit
• Find evidence: Hack Falcone's computer (Batgirl contacts you via comms — her first appearance)
• Download shipping manifests and financial records

Part 4: Boss Fight — Carmine Falcone

• Falcone confronts you in his office. 2-phase fight
• Phase 1: Falcone uses a shotgun (blockable) and calls goons. Counter goons first, then attack Falcone when he reloads
• Phase 2: He retreats to the roof. Use Batclaw to pull down chandeliers, stunning him. Attack while stunned
• After defeat, Falcone reveals "the Red Hood" is the real power in Gotham

Part 5: Boss Fight — Red Hood One

• The Red Hood One attacks in a burning warehouse. 3-phase fight
• Phase 1: Ranged combat. Red Hood uses twin pistols. Use explosive barrels by grappling them toward him
• Phase 2: Melee phase. He drops down with electrified gauntlets. Counter required — his attacks are fast
• Phase 3: Desperation. He triggers the building to collapse. Run and grapple to escape. QTE sequence to survive
• Red Hood escapes. A figure is glimpsed watching from a rooftop (the Joker silhouette)
