5Realm of Shadows is the first episode of Batman: The Telltale Series. The episode follows Bruce Wayne/Batman as his parents' legacy come under allegations of corruption and links to crime. The episode was released on August 2, 2016.
The episode begins with a group of mercenaries breaking into Gotham City Hall. As the GCPD try to storm it, Lt. Gordon receives an order to wait from someone on the other side of the line. As the mercenaries discuss rumors of the Batman, the vigilante attacks and takes the members of the group out. Entering the office, he discovers a a woman in a leather cat suit breaking into the Mayor's vault.
Chasing her to the rooftops, the two engage in a fight, with the two managing to injure each other. After Batman manages to retrieve the stolen items, he is shot at by a cop who had arrived on scene, giving Catwoman a window to escape. As she flees, Batman hits her with a Bat-Stunner, which causes her to fall off the building. Jumping after Catwoman, he manages to catch her, but she steals his Grappling Gun and escapes. Batman flees shortly afterwards to Wayne Manor.
After being patched up by his butler, Alfred, Bruce Wayne, Batman's alter-ego, attends a fundraiser for District Attorney Harvey Dent's election for Mayor. Whilst conversing with reporter Vicki Vale, Bruce is told by Alfred that Carmine Falcone, one of Gotham's most influential criminals, has arrived. Greeting Falcone, the two and a number of Falcone's men go into the parlor to discuss "business". Harvey may also attend if Bruce requests he join them.
Falcone reveals he doubts about Harvey and how he can control his position as Mayor. He also tries to offer Bruce a place within his organization, hoping that he would be able to be a valuable asset. When Bruce is either unsure or stubborn to accept, he brings up his father Thomas Wayne and how he would know which hands to shake and which to break. Depending on what Bruce decides, Falcone either leaves in good spirits or angrily, threatening Bruce.
Shortly after the fundraiser, Bruce goes to the Batcave to investigate the drive Catwoman attempted to steal. Though encrypted, he is able to decrypt that it is a map of the East Side Shoreline of the city. Visited by Alfred, the butler shares concerns about Falcone in Wayne Manor and the possibility that Bruce's identity might be deduced. Finally, he reveals that one of Bruce's childhood friends, Oswald Cobblepot, was at the fundraiser and wants to meet up in Cobblepot Park.
Arriving at the scheduled time, Oswald arrives when Bruce is set upon by a group of muggers. Managing to defeat the two, they catch up briefly, with Oswald stating his disposition of Falcone and how he saw him at the fundraiser. Revealing that he is organizing a revolution to change Gotham, Oswald warns Bruce of the possible repercussions and to make sure he is on the right side when it starts.
Later that morning, Bruce arrives at a conference announcing Wayne Enterprises plans to replace Arkham Asylum with a new mental health clinic, in memory of his parents. During the debate, the reporters focus on Falcone's appearance at the fundraiser and the discovery of an account shared between the crime lord and Thomas Wayne. Though Bruce denies these rumors, he arrives back at Wayne Manor to discover it being ransacked by the GCPD.
Although Gordon reassures him that they will only take documents about Wayne Enterprises, Bruce is convinced that it may be politically motivated by current mayor Hamilton Hill, who is in Falcone's pocket. As the GCPD leave, Bruce is met by Vicki, who offers to help Bruce. In return, she asks that he provide her with a quote to use.
As Vicki leaves, assuring Bruce that he will be able to beat the rumors, he and Alfred discuss why Harvey, who is also a close friend, wasn't able to warn them. Meeting him that evening at Café Trisle, Bruce learns that Hill had actually gone without Harvey's authority. Deciding to track down who is responsible for the allegations, they are met by Harvey's new girlfriend...
