Paradigm City is a place without a past. 40 years ago, something happened that wiped the memories of everyone in it. Unfortunately, the people of Paradigm City were very busy before then, making Megadueses (giant robots) and monsters. People who were born after the memory wipe are gaining/recovering memories of the past and using them to build newer threats. With the help of The Big O (a faithful giant robot), his butler Norman and the android Dorothy, Roger Smith keeps Paradigm City safe. As problems mount and more memories surface, Roger's past and Paradigm's future begin to become suspect...

It's like Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark and Spike Spiegel rolled into one badass mecha pilot.

Batman gets an awesome voice, an android wife, and a giant robot. Greatness ensues... until the Gainax ending.

Imagine you took the 1992 classic Batman The Animated Series, but gave Batman a giant robot instead of a utility belt.
