Character Background
Our story begins not with a man, but with a boy. Bruce Wayne, born to Doctor Thomas Wayne and his wife, Martha, was heir to the great Wayne legacy, living a pampered lifestyle with loving, kind parents.

Then, tragedy struck. Walking back from a rousing adventure film, the Waynes foolishly entered into a dark alleyway. For all their efforts, they would soon find, Gotham was still not a safe place, especially in the shadows.

A thief drew his gun, demanding of the Waynes all their valuables. Reports conflict on what exactly occurred next, but the end result was the same: young Bruce Wayne saw his parents gunned down by the mugger.

After that, the young Wayne heir disappeared from sight and, without the wealth and influence of his parents, Gotham soon fell to crime, corruption, and darkness, becoming a tarnished gem of sin and decadence.

Upon his return years later, Bruce Wayne seemed much changed. No longer the sad, terrified boy of his youth, the young Wayne had appeared to have coped with his parent’s death… or was dealing with it by indulging his every whim and using his very impressive fortune to do it. Leaving the running of Wayne Enterprises by and large to the executives and only meddling on rare occasion, Bruce Wayne, the young prince of Gotham, proceeded to quickly show himself to be an amiable, womanizing, shameless playboy.

However, that face which he showed to the world was nothing but a lie. Bruce Wayne had spent those years away not traveling the world to escape Gotham, but to learn. Martial arts, science, forensics, criminal psychology, stealth, escape artistry, even thievery… anything that would assist him in learning the methods of criminals and the fighting of crime, he mastered with fevered obsession bordering on madness. Pushing his body and mind to their limits and beyond, Bruce Wayne had forged the beginnings of one of the most legendary heroes ever to walk the Earth: The Batman.

A wraith in the night, a wrathful spirit of justice and vengeance, the Batman descended on Gotham soundlessly, striking fear into the hearts of criminals across the dark, corrupt city, his drive allowing him to perform almost superhuman feats and his wealth allowing him access to a fearsome arsenal of gadgets and devices for every situation imaginable. Identity hidden behind a mask as black as the heart of Gotham itself, foppish façade cast aside, the Batman quickly became renowned in Gotham, a legendary boogie man to the criminal element, and a bearer of hope and justice for a better Gotham to the downtrodden. Though a single man standing against the rising darkness, again and again Batman has beaten back that darkness, refusing to surrender his city to crime and chaos even against the most impossible odds.

Over time, he faced countless foes, his own presence seeming to draw the most insane, cunning, and powerful criminals to him, drawing him into personal combat again and again. Though some battles he lost, the Dark Knight continued to press onward, surviving every challenge his enemies would throw at him.

Eventually, however, the paragon of humanity was called on to face foes yet more mighty, threats yet more encompassing, and, in so doing, he encountered some of the most powerful beings in the world, such heroic luminaries as Superman, the Flash, and Wonder Woman, and joined their ranks, becoming one of the founding members of the Justice League. Though lacking any superpowers of his own, again and again the Batman proved to be among the most valuable of the Justice League’s assets, his brilliant mind and unwavering determination unsurpassed even by his compatriots.
