## Biography

#### 1958

Bruce is born in 7 October, 1958 to Martha and Dr. Thomas Wayne in Gotham City, NJ, in the United States of America, delivered by Thomas himself and his friend, Dr. Douglas Dundee. A photograph is taken of Martha with newborn Bruce. He resides in Wayne Manor Estate, in Bristol Township, along with his parents and servants, including the butler Jarvis Pennyworth.

Bruce's parents are the co-owners of Wayne Enterprises, a massive corporation that participates in several businesses. As such, Bruce has a very fortunate and lavish upbringing. Thomas is an Episcopalian Catholic, and raises Bruce as one, taking him to church every week since his infancy.

25 December, Bruce's parents take him to Christmas mass in a Christian church.

#### 1959

Bruce takes his first steps, walking into the arms of Alfred Pennyworth, who is visiting his father, Jarvis, in Wayne Manor.

In the Summer, Thomas and Martha take Bruce in a vacation a away from Gotham, next-door to family friend, Dr. Thomas Ellison.

December, Bruce goes to the Annual Wayne Foundation Christmas Tree Lighting Celebration for the first time.

#### 1960

The Waynes go to a Major League Baseball game, a picture is taken which will be framed and put in Wayne Manor.

#### 1961

7 October, Bruce has a 3rd birthday party. Thomas tucks him to bed and writes a letter for him to receive when he's older.

Him, Thomas and Martha watch *Wet Side Story* at the theater. There he meets Kirk Langstrom; they hit it off.

The Waynes take a vacation in the Lanesborough Hotel, in London. While Martha is making a painting, Bruce gets red paint on his palm and marks the painting. The painting is signed “Martha & Bruce” and hanged in the hotel.

#### 1962

Around this time, Bruce begins attending Sunday school.

Jarvis plays with Bruce, who draws him with crayon. Sometime later, Jarvis is driving Bruce and Martha, who is pregnant with Thomas Wayne, Jr., and gets in a car crash. Martha loses the baby.

Midsummer, the Waynes are vacationing in their summer home. For several weeks, Bruce wanders to Dr. Thomas Ellison's house, where Ellison, who has been observing the planet Krypton for years with his high-tech telescope, shows little Bruce live feeds of the alien planet, tells him about Kryptonian culture, and takes photographs of Bruce in traditional Kryptonian garb simulating superpowers. Ellison observes the destruction of Krypton. When they return to Gotham, the Waynes take part in a funeral for one of their servants, who was secretly assassinated by The Court of Owls in Wayne Manor Estate.

Bruce falls in a hole in the Wayne Manor garden into the cave beneath. Thomas comforts Bruce, and Martha gets him to make a drawing to work out his trauma. He draws evil bats and the word "No".

31 October, Bruce, who has become overly concious of his nutrition, eats a single piece of candy in the darkness of his closet.

Bruce hurts himself accidentally, which leads to a permanent scar; Jarvis helps him.

The Waynes go to Paris. Bruce learns to ski.

#### 1963

Bruce is enrolled into Hudson Academy.

Thomas and Martha start setting up playdates for Bruce to make new friends. Bruce becomes friends with Erin and Shannon McKillen.

Thomas tells Bruce of Gotham's new vigilante, The Reaper, which scares Bruce. Around this time, Bruce meets Rachel Caspian and her recently widowed father, Judson Caspian. Unbestknown to them, Judson, who is Thomas's friend, is The Reaper himself.

## Miscellaneous

• Bruce's favorite bedtime stories as a four-year-old are *Alice In Wonderland* (an account of the real adventures of Alice Lidell in the strange realm of Wonderland, as told by her friend, Lewis Carroll) and *The Animals and The Pit* (Alexander Afanasyev's grim recounting of events talking animals once went through in Russia). Bruce repeatedly asks Thomas to reread *The Animals and The Pit*, secretly hoping he will make up a happy ending, which he never does.

## Notes

1. ↑ Since the events of West Side Story happened in the UCU, Wet Side Story from Teen Beach Movie takes its place as a fictional tale.
2. ↑ In the original story, the servant killed was Jarvis Pennyworth. This is changed because it contradicts stories where Jarvis is alive much later.
3. ↑ In the original story, Alfred does this instead of Jarvis. This is changed to have Alfred be more of a newcomer in Bruce's life as Batman, as he was originally; and to fit depictions of Jarvis as Bruce's childhood butler, such as in Superman & Batman: Generations.
