As a boy, Bruce Wayne witnessed his parents' gruesome murder by an unknown gunman and vowed revenge against all who broke the law. As a young adult, he worked to fulfill this vow by traveling the world to learn from masters of various defense disciplines.

One night, in his father's study, Bruce Wayne relives the horror of his parents' death. Suddenly, in a terrifying flash of blackness, the window is shattered by the striking image of a black bat. In that moment, Bruce Wayne's destiny is determined. He would become the night... he would become the Batman. Bound by his personal code of justice, Batman resolves to never kill an enemy. Instead, he relies on his physical prowess and mental superiority to bring his enemies to justice.

During the day, Bruce Wayne is CEO of Wayne Enterprises and maintains the public image of a millionaire playboy. In fact, Bruce goes to great lengths convincing others that the self-centered socialite is his true self. Bruce Wayne is the disguise, Batman is the true personality.

Batman’s enemy list is quite long. It includes hard-core criminals such as Mr. Freeze, ScarFace, The Riddler, The Joker, Killer Croc, the Clock King, Baby Doll, the Mad Hatter, Two Face, Clayface, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, ManBat, Harley Quinn and The Penguin.

Batman also has some powerful allies, like his ward Dick Grayson, who accompanies him in fighting crime as Robin, Barbara Gordon (Batgirl), and Selina Kyle (Catwoman, though they are often at opposite ends). Apart from them, Batman places great faith in the butler to the Wayne family – Alfred Pennyworth, who becomes a second father to him after the death of his parents, happens to be an expert mechanic and tends to the high tech gadgetry in the Batcave.
