**Bruce Thomas Wayne** is an American billionaire located in the streets of Gotham. Born to Doctor Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha, Bruce went through the unfortunate tragedy of watching his parents die, which led him on a vengeful journey to become the vigilante Batman. A few years into his career, he adopted young wards into his care and trained them to become his partners, battled several criminals that try to run Gotham's streets, and eventually became a founding member of the Justice League.

## Early Life

### First years of his life

Bruce Thomas Wayne was born on April 7th, 1962 to Thomas and his wife Martha. Thomas was a doctor, and served as a medic during World War II, while Martha was the daughter of General Robert Kane. Thomas met Martha within Robert, and the two were married within three years. They raised Bruce in Thomas' large mansion, which he inherited from his ancestors, alongside their butler, Alfred Pennyworth, whom Bruce saw as a second father. When Bruce was four, he fell down the family well into the caverns beneath Wayne Manor, attracting the attention of several bats. His father eventually came to his rescue. Bruce was terrified of bats, and refuse to go anywhere near the well.

### A Night to Remember

At the age of eight, Bruce and his parents were walking home from the Monarch Theater one night, when they were held up at gunpoint by a mugger who demanded the pearl necklace that Martha was wearing. When Dr. Wayne refused to surrender it, both he and Martha were shot dead in the streets. The killer was a criminal known as Joe Chill. Fortunately, physician and social worker Leslie Thompkins was making a house call that night, and arrived to give loving comfort to the traumatized Bruce. He was then raised on the Wayne Manor estate, with help from Alfred. Bruce had very few friends during his childhood, which included the likes of Harvey Dent and Thomas Elliot.

### Training with the League of Shadows

At the age of 18, Bruce decided to travel away from the United States and learn how to fight with the group of assassins known as the League of Shadows. There, Bruce met Slade Wilson, an assassin in training and young military private. The two learned how to fight together and went through a series of grueling challenges to gain immense strength.

### Falling in love with the Demon's daughter

Five years into his training, Bruce got the opportunity to meet Ra's al Ghul, the leader of the League of Shadows. Ra's saw potential within Bruce, and decided that the new heir would be him. As a challenge, Ra's sent his daughter, Talia, to look into him more. What followed was a strong connection between the two, leading to a strong connection between the two. Talia and Bruce eventually had a romantic affair in bed after a long two years of constant flirting, with her declaring that Bruce was her beloved, and that they were bonded for life.

### Final Deal with the Shadows

The morning after his night with Talia, Bruce was faced with his final challenge, battling for the status of an assassin. He was met with the opponent of Slade Wilson, his training partner. After a long and violent duel, Bruce was able to subdue Wilson, and cut out his eye. However, when Bruce was told to kill Wilson, he refused, remembering the worst night of his life. That decision led Wilson to become an assassin, and Ra's al Ghul's right hand man. Bruce packed his things, ending his journey overseas, and decided to return to Gotham.

## Birth of the Bat

### Year One

Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham City after many years. Despite having all of the skills and methods to fight crime, he still felt that there was something missing in the completion of his physical and mental arsenal. Wayne discovered the answer late one night while sitting in his manor. He recalled his fear of bats as a child after a large one crashed through one of the windows; he ultimately decided to make his appearance resemble a bat's. Wayne designed himself a costume equipped with experimental technology and set out against the crime and corruption that thrived in Gotham City. Wayne's tactics to oppose crime as a vigilante at night proved successful leading him to become an urban legend in Gotham City. He revealed himself at a dinner of the most influential and corrupt figures in Gotham City and promised them all that their reigns on the city would eventually end. Wayne's first ally was Assistant District Attorney Harvey Dent, his childhood friend. Most of the Gotham City Police Department was sent in force to capture him. He gained his most powerful ally when he met then Police Lieutenant James Gordon, one of the few honest cops on the force. The two developed a working relationship operating outside of the law when they needed to.

### A Clown Upon Us

As Batman, Bruce was called to Ace Chemicals one night, driving to the location in the new vehicle known as the Batmobile. There, he encountered a group of thugs from the mob, with a particular one wearing a red hooded face. He chased the leader of the gang, only for the leader to fall into a vat of chemicals, seemingly to his death, but unfortunately for Bruce, this started a long standing rivalry between him, and the red hooded criminal, who took on a clown like appearance, calling himself the Joker. Their first confrontation eventually led to a battle in an abandoned amusement park, where Bruce easily bested the Joker, and took him into custody.

### Meeting Oswald Cobblepot

In an attempt to find connections to Carmine Falcone, the violent gangster, Bruce stumbled upon the Iceberg Lounge, a club meant for gangsters headed by Brooklyn gangster Oswald Cobblepot, who was publicly known as the Penguin. Bruce threatened the Penguin, telling him that if he ever stepped out of line, the Bat would be there. Cobblepot simply spat in Bruce's face and cackled about it, leading to Bruce simply punching Cobblepot in the face, shoving a shard of glass in a circular shape in his eye, giving a monocle like appearance. The Penguin, frustrated, simply threatened Bruce's life.

### First Riddle

Days after his encounter with the Penguin, Bruce heard word of kidnapped individuals held in an abandoned warehouse by a criminal known as the Riddler. After solving a series of puzzles, he finally managed to track down the Riddler and beat him down, sending him to Arkham Asylum.

### A Mad One

As a civilian, Bruce met Jervis Tetch, a neurologist specializing in reaching out to people through their minds. Unfortunately, Tetch turned out to by a psychopath known as the Mad Hatter, based on the character in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Tetch used the combined strength of the brothers, Deedle and Dumphree and Deedle Tweed, also known as Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee. Tetch kidnapped his secretary Alice, based on a massive crush he had on her. As Batman, Bruce bested the Tweeds in strength, and was able to defeat the Mad Hatter and save Alice.

### Scariest night of all

While visiting Arkham Asylum based on the incredible amount of supervillains building up, Bruce met Jonathan Crane, who was accused of experimenting on criminals via the use of a special toxin. This turned out to be true, with Crane taking on the identity of the Scarecrow. After a violent battle that forced Bruce into his worst psychological trauma he had faced, the Scarecrow was defeated, and placed into a sell at Arkham.

### 30 Days Hath September

Shortly after his encounter with Scarecrow, Bruce met Julian Day, a psychopath specializing in calendars, dubbing himself the Calendar Man. While not physically a challenge, a very similar mental challenge channeling that of the Riddler nearly incapacitated the Dark Knight. Thankfully, he overcame Day's puzzles, and put him in a sell at Arkham.

### Born on a Monday

Towards the middle of September, Bruce Wayne heard whispers of a zombie wandering around the streets of Gotham. Utilizing clues, he discovered that a long deceased gangster known as Cyrus Gold's grave was dug up. After a long night of tracking evidence, it was discovered that Gold was mutated into a zombie like creature, murmuring the words of a nursery rhyme called "Solomon Grundy". Bruce used his brains over Gold's brawn to take him out, and place him underneath the Gotham Sewers, where he would be found by Harvey Dent.

### A Poisonous Appointment

Learning of a horrifying accident that occured at a Wayne Laboratory in South America, Bruce finds lab assistant Pamela Isley on a plane, next to several slaughtered individuals, with veins around their mouths. She called herself Poison Ivy, and claimed that the reason she killed the men was because of all the life they destroyed. Bruce, disgusted by this, stopped Ivy after a long and brutal battle (resulting in Catwoman arriving to help him out and learning of his identity in the process), resulting her going to Arkham.

### The Long Halloween

Batman, Gordon, and Harvey Dent met up on the rooftop of police headquarters one night, and they swore that they would bring down the organized crime syndicates led by Carmine "The Roman" Falcone and Sal Maroni that were completely controlling their town. Although it was necessary to bend the rules in their efforts, they agreed that they would never break them, and become as bad as the evil they fought against. Meanwhile a serial killer named Holiday began stalking prominent Mafiosos and shooting them dead. There was suspicion immediately cast on the three men in the triumvirate, and the possibility that it might be someone trying to remove their competition. Gotham's new breed of criminals was replacing the traditional gangsters, and the underground was slowly being taken over by costumed freaks with no respect for the old ways. Batman's presence was arguably the cause of this. Amongst the killings Falcone's son Alberto was murdered. Bruce Wayne went on his first date with Selina Kyle around this time, who flirted with him as Catwoman by night. In his desperation, the Roman changed the game by employing super-villains in his activities. Falcone and Maroni each believed the other was responsible for Holiday, and their gang wars tore Gotham apart. Harvey Dent became a leading suspect because of his vindictive attitude towards criminals. Bruce Wayne was also suspected of involvement with the Roman's organization and arrested. His father Thomas Wayne had reluctantly performed emergency surgery on a young Carmine Falcone for bullet wounds and indebted him, making him indirectly responsible for the Roman's empire. Bruce's trial proved his innocence thanks to the testimony of Alfred. Dent later admitted this was a mistake, and Maroni brought himself into custody with the intention of spilling his secrets before he was killed. At the trial, Maroni smuggled in a bottle of acid and threw it at Dent's face during the prosecution, leaving him horribly disfigured. This also drove him insane, and he killed a doctor escaping from the hospital. They arrived at the conclusion that Harvey Dent was Holiday, and Batman attempted to find him after he escaped. While Gordon was transporting the gangster to a different cell, Holiday appeared and shot Sal Maroni in the head, finally revealing his real identity... Alberto Falcone, having faked his own death. Batman was disguised as the guard accompanying them, and he beat Holiday down before taking him into custody. Harvey Dent reappeared calling himself Two-Face after the nature of his personal tragedy, taking a team of villains into the Roman's private office. As the two leaders battled, Batman arrived and put most of the criminals down, but he was unable to stop Two-Face from shooting Carmine Falcone twice in the head. The three men, Batman, Gordon and Dent, had a final meeting on the rooftop of police headquarters. Dent was accused of betraying the things he believed in, but he insisted that his methods were the only ones that actually got rid of the Roman and he did what he needed to. He was then arrested, and although Batman and Gordon had seen one of the best men they knew completely broken, they still maintained that Gotham City could be saved and ridden of evil. Neither of them was willing to give up.

The rest is to be added.
