Bruce Wayne was casually flipping through channels when he stops on the News Channel. "The empty cruiser has arrived at Gotham Bay carrying nothing but one dead crew member and a mysterious creature frozen in a block of ice. No further information has been released at this time." Bruce scratched his chin with interest and went off to get into his work clothes.

It said a lot about Alfred's job when he didn't even bat an eye at Bruce returning with a small piece of a frozen alien lifeform. "So, Master Bruce, any idea what kind of extraterrestrial visitor we're dealing with?" Batman looked at the frozen specimen through the magnifying glass. "It doesn't seem to be anyone we're familiar with .... hold on." Bruce looked closer, trying to understand what he was seeing. "It's still alive. It's some kind of .... Thing that consumes and imitates whatever it comes into contact with." Batman gasped at a sudden realization. "Alfred, that corpse on the boat wasn't dead, it's a Thing and if I don't stop it, it'll assimilate all of Gotham. Meanwhile, at the funeral home, the dead body of the crewmember began to move again....

TL'DR: One Thing with a human forms is trying to assimilate Gotham. It starts near the heart of the city at a funeral home. Batman knows all about the Thing but doesn't know where it is or what form it's taken. He starts at Wayne Manor.
