Your allies have been slaughtered.
The story begins with Bruce Wayne, presumably in the future, tied to a shattered bat signal with the city burning in the background. Back in the present Professor Pyg's gang battles with Commissioner Gordon and Batman and when Pyg's gang runs the two split up to chase them. Gordon chases a henchman and corners him on the subway tracks. Gordon fires on the armed assailant, but his shot hits an electrical box that explodes and ultimately causes two trains to collide head on. Newly hired Lt. Bard arrives on the scene with the rest of the GCPD and Gordon is arrested on manslaughter charges.

It's dangerous out there!
Stephanie Brown stumbles on a meeting of criminal minds hosted by her father and is forced to flee for her life. Batman rousts the Penguin in an effort to get a handle on Falcone, but finds out the Penguin is out of the loop. Falcone, through Mayor S. Hady, gives the nod for the interim commissioner to be Major Forbes who then makes Batman the sole focus of the GCPD. Falcone continues to muscle his way into Gotham by taking out the Penguin's weapon caches which in turn spurs the Penguin to prepare for war against Falcone.

What are we looking at, Master Timothy?
Red Robin investigates the infected children who were present during the fight against Professor Pyg. This leads him to a building in the Narrows where he finds that the sickness is caused by nanobots that he accidentally activates. Vicki Vale is also in the Narrows running down a lead on potential gang wars. She's saved from gang members by Harper Row. All three groups, Red Robin and the nanobots, Vicki and Harper, and the gang members all end up in the same apartment where the nanobots take out the gang members and enter Harper's brother Cullen. The nanobot activation is noticed in Japan.

Once there an unknown assailant gets in the way and ends up stabbed by Fang. Batman ultimately gets the info he wants from Fang and heads home with the mystery assailant who turns out to be Julia Pennyworth. Meanwhile in Gotham Catwoman gets caught by Falcone while trying to pull a job on him.
