一向警恶扬善的蝙蝠侠，这次遭到了莫名的指控的。原来，有一名身手堪比蝙蝠侠、打扮和蝙蝠侠一模一样的人，在城中冒充蝙蝠侠四出犯罪。这名“幻影人”不仅身手敏捷，而且犯罪手段极其残忍，绝不留手。一时，导致城中人心惶惶。 蝙蝠侠获悉后，开始四出调查“幻影人”的来历。在调查过程中，蝙蝠侠重遇了昔日的旧情人。经过一番惊心动魄的冒险与调查，蝙蝠侠还意外获悉了一起政治阴谋的内幕。到底“幻影人”与这宗阴谋到底有着怎样千丝万缕的关系？蝙蝠侠最后能否战胜“幻影人”，揭露这宗阴谋的真相？Batman, the costumed crime-fighter who prowls the night skies in Gotham City, soon finds there's another vigilante in town knocking off prominent mob figures. Despite the scythe-like blade for a hand, a mechanical voice and the cloud of smoke that follows the figure wherever it goes, the police and outraged officials mistake the homicidal crusader for Batman himself and demand that the city's longtime hero be brought to justice. Meanwhile, Andrea Beaumont returns to town. She is the lost love of Bruce Wayne, the billionaire playboy who is Batman's alter ego, and was an integral part of Wayne's decision ten years earlier to don the cape and cowl. Now, she is back in his life and is no less a disruption than the return of his old archenemy, The Joker, who has a stake in seeing the annihilation of this new vigilante, whoever it proves to be.
