Synopsis for the 1st Story
As Alexander Knox, a reporter for the Gotham Gazette, pursues the story of the mysterious vigilante of the night called Batman with the help of news photographer Vicki Vale, Carl Grissom has Jack Napier raid Axis Chemicals to remove any evidence of its ties to Grissom's criminal empire, using the raid as a set-up to remove Napier for his affair with Grissom's wife Alicia. Batman takes down Napier's men and attempts to rescue Napier from falling into a vat of chemicals, but fails in doing so, causing Napier to be changed into the maniacal terror known as the Joker. During Vicki's investigation of Batman's alter ego Bruce Wayne, she discovers a secret of his that eventually leads her to connect the two people together, but she also becomes the object of the Joker's desire as he pursues her, killing people with his Smylex formula as he heads to his ultimate confrontation with the Dark Knight at the Gotham City cathedral tower. With the Joker's defeat, Batman gives Commissioner Gordon a signal to summon him in future times of need, and Vicki ends up leaving Knox as she goes off on a date with Bruce Wayne.

Synopsis for "Batman Returns: The Movie Adaptation"
It's Christmas time in Gotham City, and the Red Triangle Circus Gang comes out of hiding to abduct Max Shreck. Although Batman emerges to take down the gang, they succeed in their goal and bring him to their boss, the Penguin, who blackmails Shreck into helping him regain his proper standing in society. While Shreck arranges for the Penguin's proper homecoming, his secretary Selina Kyle discovers the secret of his proposed power plant and is pushed out of a window. Although Shreck believes that Kyle is dead, she is mysteriously resurrected by cats and develops a vengeful personality that evolves into the mysterious masked entity known as the Catwoman. Eventually, Catwoman crosses paths with the Penguin and proposes a plan to defame Batman that nearly succeeds, although she is unable to seduce Batman long enough to do anything but hurt him. Max Shreck's plan to make the Penguin the new mayor of Gotham City eventually backfires, and the Penguin starts his new plan to kidnap all the firstborn sons of Gotham City and send them along with Max Shreck into a death consisting of Shreck's industrial waste products. Batman foils this plan, which causes the Penguin to resort to destroying all of Gotham City with a rocket-armed penguin army that he sends forth. That plan is also foiled, which results in a one-on-one confrontation between Batman and the Penguin that results in the villain falling to his death. Catwoman meanwhile tangles with Max Shreck, finally exposing herself to him as Selina Kyle, and uses her electric stun gun and some power cables from a nearby generator to fatally electrocute her former boss. However, Kyle's body could not be found in the resulting wreckage. The story ends with Bruce Wayne adopting Kyle's cat as his pet and wishing his butler Alfred a merry Christmas.

Notes
- Official comic book adaptation of the 1989 Batman film, Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.
Trivia
- A slight sequence shift takes place during the part where the Joker's parade in Gotham City takes place, with the people being gassed by the balloons prior to the Joker having the gas actually being released.
- A sequence shift in the story has parts of the Penguin's introduction to the people of Gotham City sandwiched between Selina Kyle leaving her apartment and her being found by her boss looking at the files for his power plant. Also, Selina Kyle's visit to the Wayne Manor for a romantic get-together from the movie was left out in this adaptation.
