History
Bruce Wayne was the son of billionaire couple Thomas and Martha Wayne, owners of the multinational Wayne Enterprises. On their way home during a cold winter night, the young Bruce's life was forever changed when he watched a mugger shoot his parents dead right in front of him. Swearing to stand against the crime and corruption that plagued his home city, as well as feeling responsible for his parents' deaths, Bruce traveled the world for years honing his body, mind, and detective skills to near peak human perfection. After returning to his home of Gotham City, Bruce Wayne set himself up as the new owner of Wayne Enterprises, a rich billionaire playboy by day. But by night, he would don the cowl of the "Batman", a crime fighting vigilante that would strike fear into the hearts of criminals and evil-doers everywhere. Since then, Batman has been known for not only protecting Gotham, but the rest of the world and distant planets, showing that he was not just a man, but a legend in his own right.
