What is the plot all about? The trailer and synopsis explored

Batman: Caped Crusader will follow the Dark Knight as he embarks on yet another adventure saving Gotham from crimes. The official synopsis of the show reads as follows:

"Welcome to Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear.

"Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes something both more and less than human — the Batman. His one-man crusade attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen ramifications."

According to the executive producers on the show,

"The series will be thrilling, cinematic and evocative of Batman's noir roots, while diving deeper into the psychology of these iconic characters. We cannot wait to share this new world."
