The Story of Batman: Bruce Wayne
How Bruce Wayne Became Batman
Bruce Wayne grew up in Gotham City. As a boy, he explored with his friend Rachel Dawes. One day, he fell into a deep cave filled with bats. His father, Thomas Wayne, rescued him.
Later, Bruce and his parents went to an opera. The show featured bats, which scared young Bruce. As they left, his parents were sadly killed by a criminal named Joe Chill. This event changed Bruce's life forever.
Training to Fight Crime
After his parents' death, Bruce Wayne left Gotham City. He traveled to Asia to learn how to fight crime. He joined a secret group called the League of Shadows. They taught him many skills, like martial arts and stealth.
However, Bruce soon discovered the League of Shadows had dark plans. They wanted to destroy Gotham City. Bruce disagreed with their methods. He decided to return home to protect his city.
Becoming the Dark Knight
Back in Gotham, Bruce Wayne used his training and wealth. He created a secret identity: Batman. He became a vigilante, fighting criminals outside the law. Batman uses his intelligence and gadgets to keep Gotham safe.
One of his first enemies was Jonathan Crane, also known as The Scarecrow. Scarecrow used a special "fear toxin" gas. This gas made people see their worst fears. The League of Shadows supplied him with this dangerous toxin. Batman had to stop them both.
