Batman is guarding Gotham City, fighting crime. The Boss of the Gotham mafia was subordinate to a certain Jack Napier, leading a criminal gang and part-time "walking" with his Boss's girlfriend. The boss, noticing this intrigue, decides to punish Jack by setting up a raid on Axis Chemicals. Batman also does not stand aside from this operation and decides to take the most direct part in it in order to catch Napier and his henchmen. And he succeeds, but not quite. Trying to fend off the ubiquitous Batman, Jack Napier shoots him with a revolver, but Batman ricochets the bullet with his glove, the bullet hits Jack, and he literally hangs on a huge vat of acid. Batman's attempt to save Napier is unsuccessful, and he falls into acid. But it survives. Due to numerous injuries received from such a harmful product, Jack's body is disfigured, nerve endings are damaged, and a smile that never subsides shines on his face. This is how the main villain of Gotham and Batman # 1's opponent appears - the Joker, who immediately, after his reincarnation, begins to restore order in the city, killing his Boss first. From this moment, the confrontation between Batman - the world's best detective and his insane and powerful enemy Joker begins.
