Short answer:
The story was about Catwoman and, Batman's daughter Helena Kyle.

Longer more detailed answer:
Using some of Batman Returns, the animated series, the 60's tv show and, the earth 2 story for the backstory. The Batman Returns parts they used was pretty much a lot of it. The animated series parts they used was Harley Quinn and, some of the other villians. The 60's show just a variation on the Batgirl costume for flashbacks. The Earth 2 story was the Catwoman and, Batman's Daughter part. My memories really fuzzy on how the early episodes came about. What happened in the early parts of the story is that Batman either got tired of fighting crime in Gotham, he couldn't deal with parenthood, or he found out about some other place that had more crime at the time. So, he left Gotham for a while. Meanwhile, the Joker got arrested(mabye for shooting Barbara) and, was sent to a maximum security prison outside of Gotham. Harley couldn't find out where he got sent to so, she became a phsycologist. Similar to that of Batman Begins Dr. Crane. Barbara Gordon became the oracle. Somehow, Helena Kyle comes into the mix of things I don't remember how. Then, becuase of little Bat presence in New Gotham crime becomes worse. There are a few mentions of the Robin's but, they don't make an appearance on the show at all.

4) Why was it cancelled?

I read somewhere that there was a lot of behind the scenes drama going on. The WB or, DC didn't want more then a few seconds shown of Batman/Joker/Catwoman and, none of Robin didn't help either. The ratings were supposedly average not bad just average. So, one of the owners of the series decided that it was too much trouble to continue the series. So they ended it after 13 episodes.

I still think it's becuase of the horrible miscast for Alfred though. Totally wrong for the part. If they didn't have Alfred in there(or got someone right for the part) it would have been a fantastic show. Though, there was no reason for him to be there at all. [edit]But, I still think it's a good show that got cancelled before it's time.[/edit]
