曾经罪恶横行的高谭市,自布鲁斯·韦恩(彼得·威勒 Peter Weller 配音)决定以蝙蝠侠的身份归来后,仿佛终于发生了新的变化。变种人头目双面人被除掉,然而原变种人团伙摇身变成蝙蝠狂热者,以暴力的方式执行着对善恶之行的裁断。因此,蝙蝠侠的法外行为引起广泛争论,甚至惊动白宫,而高谭的新任探长对其存在颇有微词。正值美苏交恶的危机时刻,超人(马克·瓦雷 Mark Valley 配音)卷入战火,蝙蝠侠和这位昔日的战友因理念不同分道扬镳。在此期间,小丑(迈克尔·爱默生 Michael Emerson 配音)高调复出,受邀参加某电视节目访问,实则暗藏新的阴谋。
为了阻止小丑的破坏,蝙蝠侠和新一代的罗宾突破重重阻隔,杀向对手……
May 1945: the end of the Second World War in the Tyrolean Alps. SS man Anton has deserted and been shot. On the run from his unit, he swaps his SS uniform for that of a dead Wehrmacht soldier and discovers a lonely mountain hut. Hannah, a Jewish woman, is hiding here. She takes Anton in and tends to his wounds.
But there is great mistrust between the two. Together they cope with the harsh everyday life in the remote hut. They are looked after by 16-year-old peasant girl Charlotte, whose family pays Hannah not to betray them. And at night, they hear fighting between the German troops and Italian partisans. Over time, a cautious familiarity develops between Anton and Hannah - he, who has done terrible things in the war, she, who has lost her family and has been struggling with fear and loneliness up here in the mountains for months. They grow closer. Hannah finds out that Anton was no ordinary soldier. He was in the SS, a man of conviction, at least at first. Brutal truths come to light. The war is as good as over, but what kind of future awaits them?
Georg turns up at the hut: He's been looking for Anton, hunting him down. He was the one who shot Anton - his best friend. Georg is fighting a battle that has long been hopeless, driven by hatred and the will to destroy. And he also wants to kill Hannah. High in the mountains, the decision is made.
The Deserter is a story about war and guilt, but also about helpfulness and humanity.
