Synopsis from Warner Bros UK:

“Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman (Robert Pattinson), striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies ”Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) ”amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens.

When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin (Colin Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler (Paul Dano). As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City. “

Official Synopsis via Premiere France:

“After roaming the streets of the city as Batman and instilling fear in criminals, Bruce Wayne explored the most disreputable neighborhoods of Gotham City. Aware that he can only count on a few trusted allies – Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Lieutenant James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) – among the city’s corrupt notables, the lone vigilante has established himself as the only citizen capable of obtaining revenge. When a killer preys on Gotham’s elite by masterminding sadistic crimes, a host of mysterious clues lead our masked investigator deep into the underworld where he crosses paths with Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, (Zoë Kravitz ), Oswald Cobblepot, aka the Penguin, (Colin Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), and Edward Nashton, aka The Riddler, (Paul Dano). As he begins to gain certainty that the criminal may be in Gotham and that he now sees through his game, Batman must forge new alliances, unmask the culprit and restore justice to a city for too long in prey to abuse of power and corruption
