"*It's what we do. It's who we are. We're Detectives.*"
— Bruce Wayne to Dick Grayson

## History

'**Bruce Wayne is Batman** the superhero protector of Gotham City, a man dressed like a bat who fights against evil and strikes terror into the hearts of criminals everywhere. In his secret identity he is Bruce Wayne, billionaire industrialist and notorious playboy.

#### Early Life

Bruce Wayne was the heir to Thomas and Martha Wayne and Brother to Stephanie Wayne of Gotham City. Bruce was raised with discipline, by his parents and his butler Alfred Pennyworth. Even with all the Discipline he was still a very fun kid, he would party and was very reckless. When he was 16 he threw a huge party with big lights, dancing girls, and an Ice Sculpture of a life size horse. He threw this party because he just got his Drivers license.

#### Training

Not too long after that, it was a snowy week. His father Thomas, who was a world renowned surgeon was fired from his position at Gotham Hospital. Wayne Enterprises was bought out by multiple business men. Thomas' whole entire livelihood fell to pieces, he couldn't take it mentally. He fell into insanity, he murdered his wife and daughter while Bruce and Alfred were away. He drew a symbol of a Bat on the wall before he fled the scene. Bruce and Alfred came back to a dead silent house, Bruce walked all around the Manor trying to find his parents and baby sister. He came into the Large dining room and found both of their bodies there, dead. Police came to investigate, they couldn't find any fingerprints on the gun that was left there, nor the footprints in the snow out the window. A year or so after this, Bruce left Gotham, hopefully never to come back. He went to China to find a man named Ra's al Ghul. He told Ra's he needed his help, he needed to train him to find the man who killed his parents and find his Father. Ra's was reluctant at first but agreed to train him but only if he joined the League of Shadows, Bruce took the chance. Ra's trained him for 12 years, letting him master over 120 different martial arts. Finally, Bruce decided it was time to go back to Gotham, much to Ra's disapproval. But Ra's allowed him to leave the League of Shadows but he said the next time he sees him, he WILL kill him. Bruce returned to Gotham when he was 29, he realized Gotham had turned into a cesspool of crime. He needed to change it back to the city it was when he left it, so he decided to become a Vigilante. He saw the Bat in the Dining room was still there albeit faded, he used that to change the image of a bat from something terrible for Gotham city to something good. He custom ordered MANY weapons and gadgets and used them to become **Batman**.
