Batman

## Bruce Wayne

The story of the Dark Knight is common knowledge at this point in modern culture. Young billionaire heir Bruce Wayne was walking down an alley one night when his parents were gunned down in a mugging gone awry. Since then, he devoted his life to stopping crime in Gotham City so that no boy must lose his parents the way he did, and to do so, he takes up the vigilante persona known only as the Batman.

In terms of this particular game, this comes at a time where the caped crusader has been doing this for quite a few years now. He has already moved past the Year One era and the police had grown to accept his presence. He already had three separate Robins as sidekicks (Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Tim Drake), as well as having Bat-Girl.

However, 5 years before the present, the Killing Joke event occurred, and Barbara Gordon was crippled, and the entirety of that comic is canon. Except in the end, after the now famous moment where the Joker actually makes Batman crack a smile, we learn that Batman actually did try to kill the Joker, attempting to strangle the Clown Prince of Crime to death once and for all. Batman was about to end the clown's life when he was stopped by GCPD, and in the ensuing attempts to restrain the bat, an officer was put into a coma and the Joker managed to escape.

Batman, seeing what he had done, flees and goes into deep hiding, while the police resume their policy to bring Batman down. Commissioner Gordon, knowing that Batman was trying to help, steps down from being commissioner when he is told that he has no choice but to take down the Bat. Many of the GCPD don't actually want to take Batman down, but many still do.

Batman has since then stayed much more to the shadows and much more to himself, not wanting to take any new sidekicks or protege's for the fear that he will either cause them pain too, or that they'd be taken down to get to him.

The original character of Batman was created by DC Comics, specifically Bill Finger and Bob Kane.
