### Biography

Only in his early year, pre-"Bat Signal," Batman currently operates as a vigilante. Under the cape and cowl can be found a younger Bruce Wayne. The media is more likely to catch him courtside at a Gotham Gators game or strapping on a helmet to drive his own racecar for a charity than in front of City Hall cutting a ribbon. But don't confuse the swinging bachelor persona for the real Bruce – he's intense, driven and completely focused on his life's mission to serve as the Dark Knight. Aided by technology he's secretly developed – including the operating system known as the Bat-Wave – and driven by the childhood memory of the loss of his parents, Batman takes to the streets in order to bring Gotham's new breed of super villains to justice.

Feeling a need to tell his friend Ethan Bennett about his identity, Bruce makes the attempt, but before he's able to, they're both called away on a lead that Joker is causing havoc downtown again. Unfortunately for Bruce, this is the last time he sees Ethan in human form--the next time he's seen, Ethan's been transformed into Clayface, a side-affect of Joker's deadly Joker Putty substance. Losing a friend and an ally, Batman gives Detective Ellen Yin a commlink, telling her to use it whenever she needs him.
