Bruce Wayne

Bruce Wayne (legal name: Bruce Thomas Wayne) (b. February 19th, 1972), otherwise known by his vigilante persona The Batman, is the son of Thomas and Martha (née Kane) Wayne, the husband of Tony Stark, and the father of Dick Grayson (adopted), Jason Todd (adopted), Lili Wayne, Harley Stark, Peter Stark, Bea Wayne, twins Edward Wayne and Gemma Wayne, Kamala Stark (adopted), and Damian Wayne. Besides being Batman, he is currently the largest shareholder of Wayne Enterprises, although Lucius Fox is the CEO.
Born on February 19th, 1972, Bruce was a witness to the murder of his parents in Crime Alley, a section of the borough Coventry in Gotham, after which he was raised by his surrogate father, Alfred Pennyworth. He was also the childhood friend of Rachel Dawes and attended St. Philomena's Preparatory Academy with her. It is there, after he presented as an alpha, that he met his other childhood friend, Harvey Dent. The three graduated high school together, although they later grew apart due to attending different universities (Yale for Bruce, where he received his BA in English and Juris Doctor degree at, and UCLA for Harvey and Rachel) and Bruce's growing desire to become a vigilante in Gotham because of his parents' deaths.
His desire for vigilantism led Bruce to going to Nepal in the summer of 1991, where he was trained by Ra's al Ghul. Ra's was impressed with him enough in spite of the short time that Bruce spent with him that he offered for Bruce to become the next leader of the League of Assassins. This additionally meant that Bruce would eventually marry Ra's', daughter, Talia al Ghul. But Bruce was disgusted at the notion of marrying Talia due to her being unpresented at the time, so he refused and left Nepal entirely. He came to firmly view the summer as a part of his past and nothing more.
In February of 1995, Bruce officially entered a betrothal contract for Tony Stark's marriage by brokering the deal with Howard Stark. Originally, this was meant to be solely for Tony's protection, so that Bruce would save him from a lifetime of abuse. After Bruce became Batman in May of 1995, however, over the course of the next year he and Tony became closer. This included Tony finding out that he was Batman during his and Catwoman's (Selina Kyle) fight with the Riddler (which caused t. They eventually became romantic and were married on Tony's seventeenth birthday, May 29th, 1997.
Over the course of the first few years of their marriage, Bruce and Tony had four children together: Richard 'Dick' John Grayson (b. March 21st, 1990), who was adopted after his parents were killed by Red Hood, and biological children Lilibeth 'Lili' Mariane Wayne (b. February 1st, 1998), Harley James Stark (b. July 23rd, 1999), and Peter Benjamin Stark (b. August 11th, 2001).
In December of 2001, Bruce's parents-in-law, including Howard, Maria Stark, and Ana Jarvis, Tony's honorary/surrogate mother, were killed by the Winter Soldier, as revealed to them by Phil Coulson. Bruce then went on a mission to track down the Winter Soldier, which led him to a HYDRA base in Siberia. There, he not only found out that the Winter Soldier was actually Bucky Barnes, the alpha wife of Steve Rogers, but also that she and Jason Peter Todd (b. August 18th, 1993) were being held captive by HYDRA. In his quest to rescue them, Bruce was killed by HYDRA agents, but was soon revived by Bucky using a Lazarus Pit near the HYDRA base. Bruce then took Jason and Bucky with him back to the Glass House in Gotham. Jason was then adopted by him and Tony and Bucky was eventually accepted into the family as well, though it took some time.
During 2003, Batman faced his next major foe in the form of the Joker, the new persona of Red Hood following his fall into a vat of unknown chemicals. The Joker enacted a reign of terror on the city of Gotham and killed many people, including Harvey, and severely maimed Rachel. Bruce briefly reunited with Talia after he, Catwoman, and Black Canary (Dinah Drake), who had joined them in late 2002, stopped the Joker. She offered to become his second spouse in order to get him to fulfill Ra's' plans. When he denied her once again, she warmed him that she and her father would always get what they want and left, with the implication that they would meet again.
Bruce and Tony had three more children: Beatrix 'Bea' Katherine Wayne (b. November 12th, 2003) and twins Edward Thomas Wayne and Gemina 'Gemma' Louise' Wayne (b. may 9th, 2007). Their son, Dick, also became the first Robin during this time.
On February 8th, 2008, Tony was kidnapped in Afghanistan by Zadran's Ten Rings, who were working with Obadiah Stane, Tony's godfather and the COO of Stark Industries, as Tony had become the CEO after Howard's death. Bruce quickly went to go looking for him. While he was pursuing what he thought was a lead in Oman, he was drugged and raped by Talia in order to produce a child. Around the same time, Tony became pregnant by Anahita as the only way to survive his captivity, Dick's own pregnancy by Zatanna Zatara was revealed, causing him to be forced to stop being Robin, which led to Jason taking over the Robin persona.
After Tony was rescued and during the circumstances of events that led to him becoming Iron Man, Bruce struggled with his memories of Talia's attack and what had happened to Tony. During the summer of 2008, he eventually went off on his own to confront Talia. He was unable to bring her back with him, which later led to her giving birth to Damian Hafid al Ghul Wayne (b. December 29th, 2008) thousands of miles away from the Stark-Wayne Family. He was born six days after Tony and Anahita's child, Kamala Aredvi Khan Stark (b. December 23rd, 2008), who Bruce subsequently adopted, and a few months after Bruce and Tony's first (adoptive) grandchild, Mari Antonia Grayson (b. October 3rd, 2008).
As of March 2009, Batman is one of five vigilantes patrolling Gotham, their group otherwise known as the Batfamily. The others are Catwoman, Black Canary, Nightwing (Dick's new vigilante persona), and Robin.
