Synopsis

In the atmospheric setting of a 1940s 'film noir'-styled Gotham City, Selina Kyle, the 'Cat-Woman', is dead. The list of suspects is huge -- arrogant millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne; small-time card-sharp Jack 'Joker' Napier; vicious, disfigured killer 'Clayface' Hagen; timid bank clerk Edward 'Riddler' Nygma; crime lord Oswald 'Penguin' Cobblepot; the 'Bat-Man' who is beginning to plague Gotham's criminal underworld - even a nameless 'Alligator Man' who appears to live in Gotham's sewers. Can Dick Grayson, ex-cop turned 'Boy Wonder' private eye, find the killer and solve the mystery of Kyle's murder? Or will he, too, find that even nine lives can run out? With beautiful visuals that recall another era, Nine Lives will sink its claws into you!
