History
Early Life
When Bruce Wayne was a boy, he and his parents were having a family night out at a theatre in Gotham. On their way back to their car, they decided to take a short cut down an alley. However, Bruce's life was forever changed when he and his parents were mugged at gun point. The mugger then shot both Thomas and Martha, killing them in cold blood right before Bruce's eyes. Bruce was then raised by the Wayne Family butler Alfred Pennyworth however, the young boy had changed forever by their deaths.
Bruce spent years travelling the globe learning skills such as martial arts, acrobatics, detective work, forensic science and engineering. He vowed to make sure no one else would go through the same tragedy he did as a child. Eventually, Bruce returned to Gotham City and became the hero/vigilante "The Batman", he also reclaimed control over his family company Wayne Enterprises. He spent over twenty years fighting crime in Gotham, during that time he encountered villains such as his archenemy The Joker, had taken a young sidekick named "Robin", and captured many criminals and metahumans, locking them away in prison or asylums, including every member of the Suicide Squad[1]
