"Year One" (Season 1, Episode 1: The Return of the Gotham Golden Boy)
The year is 2005. Bruce Wayne — Gotham’s golden-star nepo-baby — returns home after years abroad. His arrival instantly becomes the city’s hottest topic, drawing attention from the press and the criminal underworld alike. Meanwhile, newcomer officer James Gordon arrives in Gotham with his daughter; his wife and infant son will follow next month. Hoping to reform the GCPD, he’s paired with his old high-school friend Arnold Flass, who brings him to meet Commissioner Gillian Loeb. Loeb assigns them to investigate mob activity, a task Gordon quickly senses is more complicated than it seems. Bruce, hounded by reporters from the Gotham Gazette, later tells Alfred he should attend a high-profile party to “show face.” There, two mayoral candidates greet him: the current mayor seeking re-election, and an idealistic newcomer, Catherine Law. She asks Bruce to support her humanitarian-focused campaign. Bruce considers it.Back at Wayne Manor — nearly empty after years of neglect — Bruce studies Gotham’s rise in crime over the last five years. Staring at his family photo, he vows, “It’s time to begin what I trained for… but first, I need to understand Gotham.”Elsewhere, Flass drives into a dark alley to meet his dealer, Oswald Cobblepot, as they conduct their secret trade of a drug known as Bliss. When Gordon’s name comes up, Oswald calls him a “true officer” — a threat to their business. He suggests eliminating him and reveals a vault full of weapons.
