Synopsis

Old friends Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent share a moment together asking: At what point does Gotham not need a Batman anymore? As Batman’s investigation around Gotham leads him to encounter more and more demonic beings, the one thing they all have in common is…they’re all people he fights to keep off the streets and behind bars. But when Two-Face appears asking Batman for help, is he friend or foe? And is whatever’s going on with Batman already too late to do anything about?…Is he the detective or the devil?

Plot

Gotham Nocturne: Overture

Bruce Wayne has turned to his old friend and recently cured, Harvey Dent. The hero wants to know if Harvey is behind the recent attacks on Gotham, to which Harvey responds with no and Bruce believes him.

The Batman has noticed that people have been bursting into ash, criminal hideouts have been burned down and something is still wrong with him physically and it all stems back to a music box he found on the docks earlier in the week.

Elsewhere, Arzen and his crew of Orgham are coming to Gotham to collect the land that was promised them. It is revealed that Orgham changed their family name to Arkham and this latest branch of the family is coming back to fix that.

After Bruce leaves Harvey, the former Two-Face is attacked by Gael and sprayed with Azmer and left to change to Two-Face in an alley.
