The badge is no longer enough to hold back the tide. Gotham: Shadows of the Knight returns to the neon-soaked, gothic streets three years after the series finale. Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is now the weary, graying Commissioner of a city that has fundamentally evolved. The era of mobsters and organized crime is dead, replaced by the terrifying, chaotic reign of “Super-Criminals.”
Gordon faces a profound crisis of conscience. He has spent his life upholding the letter of the law, but now finds himself reliant on a shadow he cannot control—The Batman (David Mazouz). The Dark Knight is no longer a rumor; he is a force of nature, striking fear into the hearts of criminals. However, his existence has fractured the GCPD. A tactical task force led by a hardened, cynical Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) is established with one draconian mandate: hunt down the vigilante, putting him on a collision course with Gordon and the very savior the city needs.
The delicate ecosystem of the underworld—currently held in a tenuous, bickering truce between the King of Gotham, Oswald Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor), and the intellectual terrorist Edward Nygma (Cory Michael Smith)—shatters with the arrival of Roman Sionis, aka Black Mask. Sionis isn’t interested in riddles, umbrellas, or theatricality. Backed by a private military army and a sadistic desire for absolute power, he aims to brutalize Gotham into submission, systematically dismantling the empires of Penguin and Riddler.
To stop a gang war that threatens to level the city, Gordon must do the unthinkable: broker an “unholy alliance.” He must unite the divided GCPD, the vigilante Batman, and the very rogues he spent a decade trying to lock up. It’s a desperate war on the streets involving Selina Kyle (Camren Bicondova) as the wildcard Catwoman, shifting allegiances, and massive set pieces. Meanwhile, deep in the bowels of Arkham Asylum, Jeremiah Valeska (Cameron Monaghan) sits in silence, smiling. He knows that while they fight for control, he is simply waiting for the perfect moment to burn it all down.
