*"Am I crazy? yes... but sometimes insanity comes in handy..."- Bruce talking to Alfred*

## History

### Early Life

Bruce Wayne saw his parents be shot in front of him when he was only eleven, this event traumatised the young boy. Alfred Pennyworth, the Wayne's butler, adopts the boy and raises him as his own. Bruce swore to protect his city and would years later try to become a police officer. However, he was rejected by Commissioner James Gordon.

### The League of Assassins

Bruce became a member of the League of Assassins when he was found by a member of the League. He was trained by the man and quickly became a full on member, being welcomed by the leader, Ra's al Ghul. Bruce also met Talia al Ghul, Ra's' daughter, and fell in love. He found out she also had feelings for Bruce, but a League Head wasn't allowed to fall in love with a soldier. They kept their relationship a secret for a year but were found out by Ubu, Talia's bodyguard who also loves her. Ubu exposed Bruce and Talia to Ra's, who demanded that Bruce stop seeing his daughter. Bruce refused and challenged Ra's to a battle, if Bruce wins he marries Talia, if Ra's wins Bruce leaves the League. Bruce ended up winning, so Ra's killed Bruce's trainer and attempted to kill Bruce. After this, Bruce said goodbye to Talia and left the League.

### Return to Gotham

When Bruce came back, he used his League training to become a vigilante, to the disapproval of Alfred. However, when he heard where Bruce was coming from, he agreed to help, though he would still want Bruce to have a normal life. Bruce did everything the GCPD couldn't, including finding Joe Chill, the killer of his parents. However, this atracted the attention of Edward Nygma, who wanted to prove he was better than the vigilante by finding out who he was. Bruce eventually found out Nygma was an ex-employee of his, so he decided to go out as Bruce Wayne and drew the attention of Nygma. Bruce then got in to a new version of his suit and fought Nygma, with it ending in Nygma burning down his base in desperation.

### The Man Who Laughs

After defeating Nygma, Bruce defeats a few criminals who where transporting weapons, and demands to know who they work for. However, they are both shot before they can say. Bruce followed the shooter to a warehouse, where he first met the Joker. The meeting didn't go well, as Bruce was gassed and the Joker got away. Making matters worse is the fact Joker kidnapped James Gordon and his daughter, Barbara.

### Birth of Batman

Bruce gave Barbara to the police before going after the Joker, who is in ACE Chemicals. When he made it in, the Joker began explaining his story. However, by the end, the Joker isn't even sure if the story he told is true or not.
