**Batman, Weapons and Origin**

Prime Earth Origins of The Batman / Bruce Thomas Wayne

Wayne, a name that every Gothamite knows, At the head of the house of this generation is Thomas Wayne who sits beside him is his wife; Martha Wayne. Both are respected in the eyes of the city. The two conceived a child when they saw it fit, Thomas’s company kept on growing as they helped build Gotham. Martha and Thomas named the child Bruce Thomas Wayne, born into one of Gotham’s first original families. Dates all the way back to the 18th century, Gotham is what it is today because of them. The two parents took good care of Bruce, he was cared for by the house butler most of the time, but Thomas and Martha loved him very much, his father wasn’t abusive nor his mother, but once and awhile Thomas would cheat on Martha, sometimes in public with Bruce with him but it is unclear if Martha ever found out. Anyways, Bruce knew they were out doing something to make Gotham a better place, either at his father working with the city’s leadership or his mother being a physician and all. In general, Bruce was a smart child, especially at the age of 3-4 when he read a lot, often found young Bruce in the manor’s library. A fond memory of his at age 4, inspired the bat to be his favorite animal/symbol. Bruce was playing outside as he often explored the manor when he was a child, trying to find out his family’s past. Eventually, he found a cavern which he explored more of, suddenly he fell into a large cavern. Bats swarmed him, flew all around him. He was of course frightened, a child at that age being swarmed by bats as they screamed at him almost hissing. He could feel the fear, almost like a rush of adrenaline, it was truly a life-changing experience to be in. His screaming became louder and louder till the bats lifted him lightly till his father came rushing and saved him. Thomas taught Bruce to never be afraid, to never keep on trying, to find another way. Thomas was a firm believer in all of that including earning everything. Quite hypocritical when you look at Wayne Enterprises as it was practically given to Bruce at a very young age.

A night in Gotham wasn’t all that bad when Bruce was 8, so he thought Thomas, Martha, and Bruce went out for the night. To watch a show at Monarch Theatre. Bruce sorta liked these shows, he was forced to go to these once every blue moon due to his parent’s busy schedule. Eventually, when they got to the show, mid-performance, Bruce asked if they could leave. And Thomas that was a good idea and agreed as he seemed like he wanted to rush this as well. His mother didn't want to leave but she listened to the majority vote. Thomas decided to take the side door rather than the exit. For reasons not really known. The three walked, light snow blew down as it drizzled down. The city lights were bright but a man appeared. A black figure, This man attempted to mug the Wayne family. Thomas tries to calm the man, Mugger proceeds, Thomas gives the wallet to the mugger but he wants more so goes for Martha’s necklace which ends up breaking when he tries to snatch it, this scares him and he shoots her. Thomas attacked the mugger but he ended up getting a shot into Thomas multiple times making him drop to the ground. A total of 6 rounds were used to kill just two people. Bruce was left there crying, almost basking in his own parent’s blood as the mugger ran away. Bruce wanted revenge, this act of selfishness and greed provided Bruce with a mindset that was set on justice and revenge. Gotham was already corrupt, he wanted to fix it. So Bruce did just that, he studied as much as he could. From age 8-14, he kept his head straight and learned as much as he could, even setting goals and an adult’s mindset. Wayne’s fortune helped him, his hyper focusing on multiple things even able to multi-task. His training from a very young age ended up helping him a lot, to perfect every skill. Physical and emotional, he was prepared for almost everything. By 14 he graduated high school and was off to Cambridge and eventually switched colleges every 2-3 semesters, going to the world’s finest colleges. After he finished with college his next step was to intensely train his physical self by traveling to Fuji into the mountains where this shrine stood tall. Snow-covered the roof as it toppled down. He stayed at this dojo for a year. He became strong, stronger than he thought he would. One day a man named Ra’s Al Ghul came to the monastery, Bruce stood puzzled that his constant intense training spread across the world to bring this man straight to him. He offered help, better training. Bruce accepted and traveled with Ra’s. Bruce was introduced to the League of Assassins, a group of people who trained in many ways. This brought Bruce to his peak, learning many fighting styles and lifestyles.

After years, Bruce returned to Gotham, his body and mind were trained to bring justice and order to Gotham. He swore since the murder of Thomas and Martha wayne that he would stop crime in HIS city. Bruce recalled the day when he was a child when the bat’s swarmed him. The fear it gave him, the essence of something special sparked! Bruce Wayne used “The Bat” as a symbol of fear and justice rather than hope. The Wayne company was still prosperous by then so he used its fortune for a suit and gadgets. but it’ll do. Gotham at night was his playground, the city needed helping and Bruce was there to save the day. He became a myth to some.. Hero and Menace. A terror of the night. He is Batman

New Earth (New 52 Backstory)

Bruce Wayne was born to Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha, who were themselves individuals from the lofty Wayne and Kane groups of Gotham City, separately. When he was extremely youthful, Bruce's mum Martha was anticipating that a second kid should be named Thomas Wayne, Jr. Be that as it may, on account of her aim to establish a school for the underprivileged in Gotham, she was focused by the manipulative Court of Owls, who masterminded her to get into a pile up. She and Bruce survived, yet the mishap constrained Martha into untimely work, and the infant was lost.While in the midst of some recreation to disregard these occasions, the Wayne Family head servant, Jarvis Pennyworth was killed by one of the Court of Owls' Talons. A letter he'd kept in touch with his child Alfred, cautioning him far from the ambushed Wayne family, was never conveyed. All things considered, Alfred - who had been an on-screen character at the Globe Theatre at the time and a military surgeon before that, headed out to Gotham City to assume up his dad's position, serving the Waynes as steward. As he developed more established, his family's notoriety made Bruce anxious, and he started escaping school to visit Gotham City, where he wouldn't be so effectively recognised. On one such excursion, he was gotten by Officer Jim Gordon and his accomplice on their watch. On the way back to the station, Bruce saw Jim tolerating a trench coat as an influence from a tailor - however neither acknowledged it was a pay off at the time - yet Bruce would recollect it as a marker of Jim's character. After his folks came to recover him, the Waynes went to see The Mark of Zorro at the Monarch Theatre. After the film, a mugger named Joe Chill endeavoured to loot them at gunpoint, and froze, shooting both Thomas and Martha dead.After their passings, Bruce ended up fixated on the scan for importance in their misfortune. He thought maybe the legendary Court of Owls was capable, yet he never discovered anything to demonstrate it. Troubled by anguish, Bruce endeavoured to delete his memory with electroshock treatment, however decided not to proceed with it, and to utilise his agony as a motivator. At the age of 18, he utilised his association with Erin McKillen - a girl of the Irish horde, and with whom he went to Roxbury Academy - to find Joe Chill, and discovered that he had essentially required the cash, and there was no more profound importance to his folks' passings. Fuelled by the loss of his folks, Bruce started preparing in hand to hand fighting and sword-fighting. After he took in reality about Joe Chill, Bruce started venturing to the far corners of the planet, taking in expressions of the human experience of trick driving[5], invention, and intimidation. Near the finish of his movements, Bruce went to the Himalayas to prepare with Shihan Matsuda, who encouraged him to battle with the katana. He before long hit up a sentiment with the sword-sharpener's girl, Mio. Matsuda cautioned him against making individual ties with others, and to grasp his darker side. Matsuda's better half, however empowered it, and as a result of Bruce's affections for her, he coincidentally let a professional killer into the Matsuda family unit. In the accompanying course of occasions, Bruce found that Mio had been procured by Matsuda's better half to tempt him and afterward murder Matsuda. The two ladies and Matsuda himself were gravely harmed, however before he kicked the bucket, Matsuda cautioned him that demise is the thing that would happen to cultivating close to home connections. Acknowledging this exercise, and in the wake of three prolonged long stretches of non appearance, Bruce at last came back to Gotham. In view of just his central goal and no consideration for his inheritance as a Wayne, Bruce moved himself out of Wayne Manor and into a brownstone on Park Row from which he based his initial endeavors to invade the Red Hood Gang after just a month and a half back.Despite attempting to stay off the matrix, Bruce's uncle Philip Kane had watched him and had additionally picked up control of Wayne Enterprises in Bruce's non appearance, contracting strategist Edward Nygma, who prompted him to have Bruce killed on the off chance that he wouldn't play ball. Philip outed Bruce's arrival to the media. At the point when Bruce declined to come back to the organization while his uncle was offering weapons, Nygma prompted Philip to have Bruce murdered, and the Red Hood Gang before long endeavored only that by exploding Bruce's brownstone with him inside. Injured, Bruce moving back to Wayne Manor and, in his dad's test, chose to go up against the presence of a bat. Utilising the way that he was outed further bolstering his good fortune, Bruce called a public interview outside the ACE Chemical plant to uncover the Red Hood Gang's intends to the media. The posse endeavored to upset it, and inside the plant, Bruce utilized a power outage to make a big appearance the Batsuit. Through coercion, Philip was enlisted into the Red Hood Gang, and when he neglected to execute the Batman, he was shot dead. In battling with Red Hood One, Batman thumped the man into a vat of synthetic concoctions, and he was thought dead. Notwithstanding having won that fight, Nygma came back to explode an EMP impact that left the whole city in the dark.Commissioner Loeb pronounced the Batman a vigilante criminal as Bruce started exploring a progression of killings carried out by a displeased Waynetech worker, while building a jammer to keep another EMP assault when control was restored. The ex-representative, Dr. Karl Helfern was testing enough that Batman aligned himself begrudgingly with Jim Gordon, and together they discovered that Helfern was the Riddler's pawn. Their arrangement to overcome the two men fizzled, and the jammer was annihilated to such an extent that when the power was reestablished, the Riddler stole finish control of the power framework, closing it down and flooding the city. In the next months, the city fell into destroy, with the Riddler daily difficult the natives to best him with a question keeping in mind the end goal to acquire back civilization. Allying with Jim Gordon and Lucius Fox, Batman wanted to find the Riddler by piggybacking his flag amid the challenge. The arrangement bombed, however Batman figured out how to discover the Riddler in the place they'd initially met, and best him in a skirmish of minds, both reestablishing force and sparing the city from an unavoidable air-strike. A short time later, Bruce and Lucius started remaking Wayne Enterprises, and Jim Gordon was elevated to Commissioner in Loeb's stead. While researching the presence of Parademons, Batman experienced Green Lantern out of the blue, and the two collaborated. Trusting them to be outsiders, the combine looked for Superman for answers, and he assaulted them, supposing they were a risk, inciting Lantern to approach The Flash for help until the point when Superman was persuaded of their great intentions.Joined by Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Cyborg in fending off the Para-demons assault, the group before long discovered that Darkseid of Apokolips was behind the attack. It was Batman who persuaded the saints to cooperate as a group, and after that subtly set out to Apokolips looking for a hijacked Superman, whom he then saved from Darkseid's torturers. Upon their arrival to Earth, they constrained Darkseid back to his home world, and got acclaim and acknowledgment. Batman demanded that they remain a group with a specific end goal to keep up open endorsement. Around a quite a long time, the Riddler broke out of jail and impelled a war among himself and the Joker, who had lost the capacity to snicker, in what might be classified "the War of Jokes and Riddles". With each side selecting every one of the miscreants they could to battle for them, the city was transformed into a combat area for a considerable length of time, compelling Batman to pick a side to work with all together for the losses to stop. Batman begrudgingly picked the Riddler and carefully took out the majority of Joker's powers until just the comedian was cleared out. At the point when Batman typically sold out the Riddler, Nygma surrendered and uncovered that he arranged the whole war trying to explain the conundrum of how to make the Joker snicker once more. Angry Riddler caused the passings of such a large number of blameless individuals for something so insignificant, Batman lost control and endeavoured to wound Nygma in the face with a kitchen cut, just to be seized by the Joker himself - this occasion getting to be one of Batman's most noteworthy failures.Around this time, Bruce took in youthful Dick Grayson after his folks were killed by Tony Zucco. Without knowing Bruce's mystery, Dick would escape during the evening, chasing Zucco, and the Batman would be there to ensure him inevitably. In the end, he enabled Dick to see the Bat-cave, and Dick uncovered that he'd just reasoned his superintendent's double character. With the shared objective of equity, the match started battling wrongdoing as Batman and Robin. When Bruce Wayne uncovered plans to alter the city of Gotham, the GCPD revealed a body with connections to the legend of the Court of Owls and a notice of an endeavor against Bruce's life. Batman trusted the Court of Owls were only a legend, yet in the wake of taking a gathering with an intrigued colleague in Lincoln March, Bruce was almost killed by a professional killer dressed like an owl in Wayne Tower. Later on, Bruce takes down the court with his team.

Golden Age Batman

In the Golden Age, Batman's first appearance in Detective Comics #27, he is as of now working as a wrong fighter. Batman's cause is first exhibited in Detective Comics #33 (Nov. 1939), later fleshed out in Batman #47. As these funnies state, Bruce Wayne is destined to Dr. Thomas Wayne and his significant other Martha, two exceptionally affluent and altruistic Gotham City socialites in 1915. Bruce is raised in Wayne Manor, with it's affluent quality, and lives an upbeat and favored presence until the age of eight, when his folks are killed by a little coordinated criminal named Joe Chill while on their route home from a film theater. Bruce Wayne makes a solemn vow to free the city of the abhorrent that had taken his folks' lives. He participates in serious scholarly and physical preparing; notwithstanding, he understands that these aptitudes alone would not be sufficient. "Crooks are superstitious and fainthearted parcel," Wayne comments, "so my mask must have the capacity to strike dread into their souls. I should be an animal of the night, dark, terrible..." As if reacting to his wants, a bat all of a sudden flies through the window, moving Bruce to go up against the persona of Batman.In early strips, Batman's vocation as a vigilante acquires him the fury of the police. Amid this period, Wayne has a fiancee named Julie Madison. Wayne takes in a stranded bazaar aerialist, Dick Grayson, who turns into his sidekick, Robin. Batman additionally turns into an establishing individual from the Justice Society of America, in spite of the fact that he, similar to Superman, is a privileged part, and along these lines just takes an interest once in a while. Batman's association with the law defrosts rapidly, and he is made a privileged individual from Gotham City's police division. Amid this time, steward Alfred Pennyworth touches base at Wayne Manor, and in the wake of concluding the Dynamic Duo's mystery characters joins their team.

Silver Age Batman

The story was totally changed by the time the Silver Age began; when it was here and there held to have started in 1956 when the distributor presented Barry Allen as another, refreshed form of The Flash. Batman isn't altogether changed by the late 1950s for the coherence which would be later alluded to as Earth-One. The lighter tone Batman had taken in the period between the Golden and Silver Ages prompted the narratives of the late 1950s and mid 1960s that regularly include an extensive number of sci-fi components, and Batman isn't fundamentally refreshed in the way of different characters until Detective Comics #327 (May 1964), in which Batman returns to his criminologist roots, with most sci-fi components casted off from the arrangement. After the presentation of DC Comics' multiverse in the 1960s, DC set up accounts from the Golden Age star the Earth-Two Batman, a character from a parallel world. This variant of Batman accomplices with and weds the changed Earth-Two Catwoman, Selina Kyle and fathers Helena Wayne, who, as the Huntress, moves toward becoming (alongside Dick Grayson, the Earth-Two Robin) Gotham's defender once Wayne resigns from the situation to end up police chief, a position he possesses until the point when he is slaughtered amid one last experience as Batman. Batman titles anyway regularly disregarded that a qualification had been made between the pre-redo and post-patch up Batmen (since not at all like The Flash or Green Lantern, Batman funnies had been distributed without intrusion through the 1950s) and would now and again ake reference to stories from the Golden Age. In any case, points of interest of Batman's history were changed or developed as the decades progressed. Increments incorporate gatherings with a future Superman amid his childhood, his childhood by his uncle Philip Wayne after his folks' passing, and appearances of his dad and himself as prototypical renditions of Batman and Robin, individually. In 1980, at that point editorial manager Paul Levitz authorized the Untold Legend of the Batman constrained arrangement to altogether narrative Batman's beginning and history. Batman meets and routinely works with different legends amid the Silver Age, most outstandingly Superman, whom he started consistently working close by in a progression of group ups in World's Finest Comics, beginning in 1954 and proceeding through the arrangement's undoing in 1986. Batman and Superman are typically portrayed as dear companions. Batman turns into an establishing individual from the Justice League of America, showing up in it's first story in 1960s Brave and the Bold #28. In the 1980s, Brave and the Bold turned into a Batman title, in which Batman joins other heroes in the DC Universe.

Batsuits - The suits main functions are to: protect, communicate, glide , and store gadgets Bruce may need in field work. In the DCEU the suit has a built in voice changing modulator to hide his voice. Of course this is the standard suit. Other suits were made for specific opponents , or specific environments. For instance in the Batman Arkham Origins games, Bruce would have a suit just to fight and function in extreme cold weathers. In the Batman V Superman fights in comics and media, Bruce would either have a kryptonite lined suit , or a mech suit that can take hits from opponents as strong as Clark Kent. Bruce also has tactical suits for more risky missions that require both speed and agility , yet significantly more protection, we see this in New 52 issues 5 and onwards after Bruce joins the league, he needs more protection as he is up against more powerful threats. We also see this in DCEU’s Justice League movie where Bruce inputs a frequency speaker system into his suit and Batmobile to repel the parademons , and the suit has a significant increase in protection compared to his other suits. Although Bruce’s suits do give him an edge, he never relies on them to do all the work as Batman.
