Years after Bruce Wayne disappeared into myth, The Dark Knight Rises 2: Shadow of the Heir unveils a Gotham struggling to hold onto its fragile peace. As the city is reborn from the ashes of its darkest days, it remains scarred, and now a new darkness rises in the shadows. The peace that Batman fought for is on the verge of collapse, and a masked figure known as The Revenant begins orchestrating a series of coordinated insurgencies, targeting the legacy of the Bat and its symbol of hope.

John Blake (played by Tom Hardy) — the protector forged by Batman’s final act — now carries the mantle of Gotham’s defender. When rumors of Bruce Wayne’s fate emerge, Blake is forced to confront his mentor’s unfinished battle against the darkness. He isn’t alone in his mission, however. Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) resurfaces, torn between her past as Catwoman and her own desire for redemption, adding a complex layer to the unfolding drama.

In the midst of the chaos, a mysterious figure emerges — Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson — not as an ally or enemy, but as a force of reckoning. His arrival is tied to the League of Shadows’ last directive: if Gotham survives, it must be tested once more. The city’s destiny now hinges on those willing to pick up the mantle left by Bruce Wayne.
