Both men are utterly disgusted at the corrupt way of the city from their own viewpoint. With no actual planned goal in mind, Bruce kept on his training even after returning in Gotham in care and guidance of their trusted family butler Alfred Pennyworth. Assigned by Commissioner Loeb to team up with the corrupt fellow Detective Flass, Gordon was also having a hard time adjusting in Gotham.
While on patrol at night in disguise, Bruce Wayne engages in a brawl with a pimp and Celina Kyle got involved in the quarrel while trying to protect an underage prostitute Holly Robinson, injuring him badly in the process. Back at Wayne Manor, Bruce barely escaping from police asks for guidance in front of his fathers' bust statue and then he saw a bat on his window.
He got his inspiration of becoming The Bat, to become the entity of fear himself and strike terror in the hearts of his enemies. Jim Gordon also tries to adjust himself in the vileness of this city, while getting unexpected aid from the Batman occasionally. District Attorney Harvey Dent becomes an ally of Batman in his crusade against crime and that's how the Year One starts for the Gotham Knights.
