BATMAN REDEMPTION ( 1993)
Director : Tim Burton

Story
Set several months after the events of Batman Returns , Relations between The Batman and the GCPD remain frosty after wrongly accusing Batman of the Ice Princesses murder.
Harvey Dent, who always felt Batman was innocent and has publicily berated the GCPD's rush to judgement, make ovetrues to make amends between The Dark Knight and The Authorities.
The Batman hasn't been seen for months , largely due to the relative peace since The Penguin's death.
But Dent and Gordon want to open up a back channel with him , so the three of them can communicate out of the eye of Politicians, and The Press.
In Batman's absence, Bruce has been depressed and has thrown himself back into isolation , constantly haunted by Selina's memory and the life, if filled with the regret of not being able to save her.
At the same time , he's served as an unlikely Mentor to Chip Shrek , not wanting him to go down the road his father went, and at the same time sympathizing with him .
While Bruce hated Max, he knows what it's like to loose a parent , and on some level, he doesn't want Chip to become a vengeful vigilante or villain.
Meanwhile , In the outskirts of Gotham , the remaining members of Penguin's gang mourn their fallen leader and friend and seek revenge against The Batman and Gotham for killing him.

As the freaks lead a renewed campaign of terror and unrest in Gotham , The Batman is forced out of his isolation to protect the city from The Penguin's sinister circus , while redeeming himself in the eyes of Gothamites .
But the Dark Knight will find an ally ,in the form of the mysterious Batgirl who, inspired by The Batman , takes to the streets of Gotham in his absence ,and serves as a reminder of the good that the Batman has inspired.
