Batman

*"I am vengeance! I am the night! I am Batman!"*
―Batman to the Joker
**Bruce Wayne** was a billionaire playboy, philanthropist and CEO of Wayne Entreprises by day. During the night, he acted as the Gotham City's vigilante known as the **Batman**. When he was a child, he saw his parents being murdered by a burglar after seeing a play at the Monarch Teatre. This event traumatized him and made him travel around the world to train himself as a crime fighter, eventually returning to Gotham and taking the mantle of the Dark Knight, with the help of his butler and surrogate father: Alfred Pennyworth.

In his first years as a vigilante, he wasn't well received by the Gotham City Police Department, who tried to capture him. In 2005, he tried to stop Black Mask during the Christmas' Eve, who hired eight of the most dangerous assassins in the world to kill him. But later, Batman discovered that it wasn't Black Mask who tried to kill him, but a psychopath criminal known as the Joker who was impersonating the crime lord and wished to get revenge on Batman. However, Batman defeated him and his assassins, sent him to Blackgate Penitentiary and starting a long rivalry between the bat and the clown.

For eight years, Batman got respect by the people of Gotham and the GCPD, establishing a friendship with commissioner James Gordon. Bruce also adopted a young orphan child named Dick Grayson, who he trained to become his partner: Robin. He also recruited Gordon's daughter, Barbara, to become Batgirl. The Bat Family fought a lot of super criminals that appeared in Gotham as the result of accidents or that were totally insane. Eventually, Dick abandoned the team to become Nightwing and moved to Blüdhaven. This caused Batman to recruit Jason Todd as Robin. But Jason was captured, tortured and killed by the Joker, leaving Batman devastated. During Todd's appearance, Batman recruited Tim Drake as a new Robin in order to help him to find Jason, but eventually Tim just took the full mantle. One night, Barbara was attacked and crippled by the Joker, which caused her to work with him as Oracle.

In 2013, Joker attacked the City Hall, only to be captured by Batman and sent to Arkham Asylum; however, Batman decided to follow the Joker through the asylum because he was suspicious about why the Joker surrendered so easily. Shortly after, Joker broke free and took control of Arkham with Harley Quinn's help. Batman discovered that Joker surrendered to enter in the asylum and get Dr. Young's TITAN Formula, in order to create an army of monsters and attack Gotham. Batman defeated the super criminals of Arkham Asylum and fought a TITAN Joker at the rooftops, beating him and incarcerating the clown in Arkham again.

In the next year, Bruce Wayne decided to run a political campaign to shut down the new Gotham's superprison: Arkham City, as he investigated Hugo Strange's intentions to open it. During a press conference, Wayne was taken by TYGER Guards and sent into Arkham City. Strange threatened Wayne about revealing his secret identity if he tried to stop his Protocol 10. While Bruce Wayne recovered his suit and tried to investigate what Protocol 10 was, he was infected by Joker's poisoned blood and now had to find a cure for both. Eventually, Batman would stop Protocol 10 and discovered that it was part of Rā's al Ghūl's plans to eradicate crime. Later, he fought Joker and Clayface for the cure and defeated them. Then, he drank the cure, but when he was about to cure the Joker, the clown stabbed him and Batman accidentally dropped the cure, leaving the Joker to die.

Nine months later, Gotham City was attacked by Scarecrow during Halloween, who wanted to sink the city with his fear toxin, with the help of the mysterious Arkham Knight. At the same time, Batman discovered that he was still infected with Joker's blood and now he was transforming physically and mentally in him, even having hallucinations of the Joker himself. Batman allied with Poison Ivy to counter the fear toxin and purify the air, with her dying in the process. Later that night, Batman discovered that the Arkham Knight was actually Jason Todd, who wanted to kill him for abandoning him at the mercy of the Joker. Finally, Batman surrendered to Scarecrow to save Gordon and Robin and was taken to Arkham Asylum, where Scarecrow revealed his identity to the world. Then, Batman had a mental fight with the Joker, overcoming him and locking him in his mind for good. Jason rescued Batman and the Dark Knight defeated Scarecrow, and Batman decided to captured the other super criminals before activating the Knightfall Protocol, where Batman and Alfred exploded Wayne Manor, apparently dying in the process.

Batman was remembered as the hero and protector of Gotham City, and his legacy would rest with the Bat Family and the citizens of Gotham.
