Batman

The wealthy Thomas and Martha Wayne were walking home with their son Bruce after watching the film Zorro in the theatre. Thomas Wayne was a world-renowned doctor and Martha was a spokeswoman for many charities. They spent they short time with their son teaching him integrity and compassion but it was the man in the shadows that night, he taught Bruce darkness. Thomas and Martha decided to walk down a dark alley way as a shortcut to get home, but the three Wayne’s were mugged that night. The mystery man killed both his parents and as Bruce prepared to die himself the man ran as he couldn’t kill a child. A young Bruce Wayne tried to explain a rationalise what happened but everyone saw his face, that blank stare he had as he tried to cope, but he wasn’t just cold and heartless, he was upset that he had lost his parents. The lose gave him drive and purpose as he wanted to create a world where no one would ever die again and no one would ever feel how he felt right now. He needed to concur fear. As much as Alfred tried to be what Bruce Wayne need he vanished because he needed to find it himself. The death of the Waynes sparked a downwards spiral for Gotham. The Waynes were the elite, the richest of the rich and the ones trying to save Gotham but with their death Gotham’s crime saw a rise. People realised that if even the Waynes could be gunned down in a random shooting then anybody could.
While Gotham was on its spiral downwards, Bruce Wayne was trying to achieve the goal he set out for himself at such a young age- to never let anyone die again. He learned every form of martial arts he could, he studied with the greatest inventers and thinkers in the world, he learned how to master combat driving and he learned how to drive every type of transportation. He learned from the greatest individuals the world had to offer, and he was able to do this because of his money. Eventually he returned to Gotham with new drive and new purpose. However, Bruce learned he wasn’t ready, all that he learnt wasn’t enough and this was proven to him by the Red Hood gang. Bruce had travelled the world learning how to fight criminals but the criminals of Gotham had become monsters. How could he fight against monsters? How could he fight against costumed criminals? Bruce was beaten to an inch of his life on multiple occasions with Alfred Pennyworth patching him up every time. Bruce knew he had to find a way to make the criminals of Gotham fear him and that’s when he figured it out. The Bats scared him as a child when he got trapped in a cave under Wayne Manor so he would strike fear into the hearts of the criminals of Gotham as the Batman.
