The main protagonist Paras (Nav Sidhu) is a disillusioned former member of the Wolf Pack, now returned to Tooting four years after going to Cambridge. His mother tells him that his younger brother Rishi has turned into a gangster and that he is planning a big war to take place in Tooting Broadway. Paras is sent to stop and protect his brother. The film then turns to a flashback four years ago. Paras was a popular gangster who was taken by a police officer (Oliver Cotton) to be an undercover informer. Now back in reality, Paras meets Vikas, his old boss. Vikas tells him that the Black people want war with the Tamils, and the only way Paras can protect his brother, is by finishing the war by killing all the Black people in Tooting. Persuaded, Paras & Vikas go to finish off the war, however a completely unexpected twist takes place leading to Vikas' death. An expected villain turns up at the end of the film, leaving you very unsurprised. Years later, Paras returns to Cambridge to collect his Masters degree. He wakes up on a bridge, with little memory, unsure of how to proceed. This paves the way for an extremely mediocre sequel.

Eight years after Harvey Dent's (Aaron Eckhart) death, the Dent Act grants the Gotham City Police Department powers which nearly eradicate organized crime. Feeling guilty for covering up Dent's crimes, Police Commissioner James Gordon (Gary Oldman) writes a resignation speech confessing the truth but decides not to use it. Batman has disappeared, and Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has become a recluse. Cat burglar Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) obtains Bruce's fingerprints from his home, kidnaps a congressman, then disappears. Selina hands Bruce's fingerprints to Phillip Stryver (Burn Gorman), an assistant to Bruce's business rival John Daggett (Ben Mendelsohn), in hope of having her criminal record erased. Stryver double-crosses Selina, but she uses the congressman's stolen phone to alert the police to their location. Gordon and the police arrive to find the congressman, and then pursue Stryver's men into the sewers while Selina flees. A masked militant named Bane (Tom Hardy) captures Gordon. Gordon escapes and is found by John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a once-orphaned patrol officer who has deduced Batman's true identity from their similar backgrounds. Gordon promotes Blake to detective, with Blake reporting directly to him.

After her eldest brother's sudden death, their father wants to send his second son John to the cathedral school in Dorestad, but when the teacher Aesculapius (Edward Petherbridge) visits them in Ingelheim, Joan proves to be far more capable of dealing with the Scriptures than John. Against her father's wishes, Joan is taught by Aesculapius, who introduces her to literary works such as Homer's Odyssey.
