Roger is joined by his butler/robot mechanic, Norman, and his android ward he's left to care for after the second episode, Dorothy R. Roger's negotiations and investigations bring him into conflict with the city's chairman Alex Rosewater, who has his own plans for the people of Paradigm City and secretly operates a giant robot of his own. Paradigm City has a film noir-esque feeling to it, aided by Roger's slicked-back hair and strong resemblance to Batman's Bruce Wayne.
