Early Life:
When Bruce was eight years old, he and his parents Thomas and Martha Wayne were walking from Gotham's Monarch Theater one night, when they were held up at gunpoint by a mugger who demanded a pearl necklace that Martha was wearing. When Dr. Wayne refused to surrender it, both he and Martha were shot dead in the streets. The killer was a criminal known as Joe Chill. Fortunately, physician and social worker Leslie Thompkins was making a house call that night, and arrived to give loving comfort to the traumatized Bruce. He was then raised on the Wayne Manor estate, with help from the wise and loyal butler, Alfred Pennyworth. However, since that fateful night, Bruce Wayne swore an oath that he would devote his life to fight and rid the city of crime that blessed his family for generations.
Training:
Bruce Wayne swore an oath to rid the city of the evil that had taken his parents' lives. He spent his youth traveling the world, training himself to intellectual and physical perfection and learning a variety of crime-fighting skills, including chemistry, criminology, forensics, martial arts, gymnastics, disguise, and escape artistry.
Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham City after many years of study, training his body and mind as he developed it into perfection. Despite having all of the skills and methods to fight crime, he still felt that there was something missing in the completion of his physical and mental arsenal. Wayne discovered the answer late one night while sitting half-dead in his manor's study. He recalled his fear of bats as a child after a large one crashed through one of the windows; he ultimately decided to make his appearance resemble one of a bat. Wayne then designed himself a costume equipped with experimental technology and set out against the crime and corruption that thrived within Gotham City.
Batman Begins:
Wayne's tactics to oppose crime as a vigilante at night proved successful, turning him to become an urban legend in Gotham. He would reveal himself at a dinner of the most influential and corrupt figures in Gotham, promising them all that their reigns on the city would eventually come to an end. Due to this, most of the Gotham City Police Department was sent in force to capture the Caped Crusader during his first year. He gained his most powerful ally when he met police lieutenant James Gordon, one of the few honest cops on the force. The two developed a working partnership operating outside of the law when they needed to. As the Batman he formed many enemies and allies and even joined affiliations like the Justice League. By then he rid crime all the way from infiltrated asylums to stopping world threatening situations as well as saving the entire multiverse from destruction in a blink of an eye. To this day he continues to use his legend to put fear within the hearts of the criminals of his home city.
