Batman

== History ==

Bruce Wayne's childhood ended when he was only eight. While walking home from a movie theater, Bruce and his parents, Thomas and Martha, made the bad decision to go down Park Row, which is now called Crime Alley. A mugger, whose face remained in the shadows, ambushed them, hoping to steal Martha's pearl necklace. Dr. Wayne tried to fight back, and his courage was rewared with a bullet to the chest, while Martha was silenced in the same manner. Left in the care of his family's butler, Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce swore that he spend the remaineder of his days warring on the forces of evil. As the years passed, he perfected himself both physically and mentally, combining his mind with his might, becoming both a capable fighter and a master detective. Returning to Gotham City, Bruce decided that to gain the upper hand, he needed a costume that would make criminals fear him. Inspired by a small bat that flew into his study, Bruce put together a black and gray uniform, and a special utility belt, and took to the streets of Gotham as the Batman.
