- Batman fighting and overcoming his fears when facing Scarecrow for the first time

Batman (b. February 19th, 1975 ) is the feared, infamous, brutal and tireless crime fighting vigilante protector of Gotham City who rose up to combat super criminals, crime, corruption, crime lords, metahumans, serial killers, vile scientists, dual personality, love obsessed clowns, evil terrorists, rogue alternate earth counterparts and galactical dictators throughout his years of crime fighting. He is a man dressed like a bat who intimidates and fights crime while strikes terror into their hearts everywhere. He is son of Thomas and Martha Wayne, younger brother of Thomas Wayne, Jr., husband of Selina Kyle, cousin of Kate Kane, Mary Elizabeth Kane and Elizabeth Kane, adoptive father of Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake and Cassandra Cain, father of Damian Wayne, Elissa Prince-Wayne and Helena Wayne, genetical father of Terry McGinnis and Matt McGinnis. In his secret identity, he assumes the alias of Bruce Wayne, billionaire philanthropist, industrialist, and notorious and reckless playboy; though "Bruce Wayne" is technically his real name, this Bruce Wayne is a disguise--that of the man he would have been had his parents not been murdered before his eyes when he was no more than a mere boy. In order to accomplish his mission, Bruce trained with various martial artists, escape artists, assassins, detectives, combat experts and others internationally. When he returned, Bruce was inspired by a bat in his ancestral home of Wayne Manor. He didn't get his name instantly, with the media referring to him as the Man in Black and also the Caped Crusader. He also often uses the alias of New Jersey mob enforcer "Matches Malone" to go undercover in the underworld, which was taken from the real late Matches Malone. Although Batman possesses no super-human powers, he is one of the world's smartest men and greatest fighters. His physical prowess and technical ingenuity make him an incredibly dangerous opponent. He is considered to be the World's Greatest Detective, being able to solve numerous cases on his own, even those that were unsolved for years. He is one of the seven founding members of the Justice League and founded the Outsiders, as well as the Justice League International. He also is the patriarch of the Bat-Family and founder of Batman Incorporated and the Gotham Knights.

Batman was created by Bill Finger with Bob Kane (originally the sole creator), first appearing in Detective Comics #27 in may 1939. Since then, Batman has been one of the most well-known DC Comics characters rivaling Superman and Wonder Woman, throughout his entire publication history and even in other media. This also extends to his supporting cast and his rogues gallery, not least, as described above, the Joker. A cultural icon, Batman has been licensed and adapted into a variety of media, from radio to television and film, and appears on a variety of merchandise sold all over the world.

Early Life
Bruce Thomas Wayne was born in February 19, 1975 to wealthy and famous surgeon Thomas Wayne and his philanthropist wife Martha, who were themselves members of the prestigious Wayne and Kane families of Gotham City, respectively. He was born as the sole heir to the Wayne family fortune and the family company Wayne Enterprises.

Bruce was originally thought to be the only child to both Thomas and Martha, but unknown to him and the rest of the city, there were a original Wayne child, who Martha was expecting that was going to be a boy named Thomas Wayne, Jr.. However, because of her intent to found a school for the underprivileged in Gotham, she was targeted by the manipulative Court of Owls, who arranged for her to have a car accident. She survived, but the accident forced Martha into premature labor, and the baby was lost.

Bruce met Alfred Pennyworth, the Wayne family butler who replaced his father after he became fatally ill, later passing away due to his heart condition he suffered for years. Bruce and Alfred became close, as Alfred told stories of how he met his father, while Thomas would often join, telling as well.

When Bruce was four, while he was playing at the greenhouse, he fell down the family well into the caverns beneath Wayne Manor, attracting the attention of several bats. His father eventually came to his rescue, though Bruce developed a fear of bats; the senior Wayne comforted his son by telling him that though people fall, they always have the strength to get up.

Bruce would often watch the television adventures of his fictional hero: the Gray Ghost with his father. He got to meet Simon Trent, the actor who portrayed the Gray Ghost. When Bruce learned that the show was cancelled, he threw a fit, before he was calmed down and comforted by his father. The show would give Bruce some inspiration.

The case of Barton Mathis deeply affected Bruce as a child, being one of his first tastes of the evil in the world.

Bruce and his family went camping in a forest. He and his father climbed a tree and ate oranges, while his mother sang to herself while building a fire. Bruce and his father had a yearly tradition of taking a hike, placing rocks at the top of a peak, and watching the sunrise in the morning. Whenever he gets sick, his mother would stay with him and read to him until he fell asleep.

Bruce and his father often went to the Gotham Coliseum for ball games and then go to the amusement park afterwards. Thomas would also tell Bruce scary stories about the legend of the Court of Owls, the same organization behind the loss of his older brother.

At one point, Bruce attempted began taking riding lessons from Alfred, but stopped after one lesson due to a sprained ankle.

On his seventh birthday, about fifty kids came over to celebrate, but Bruce was off outside on his own, obsessed with the bright red wagon that his father gave him as a present. He spent the whole day in the garden collecting rocks with his wagon, and when he was asked by Alfred what he was going to do with them Bruce told him "I'm gonna build a home for my wagon, a secret place, that only I know about".

Although he didn't have many friends, he befriended Tommy Elliot, Silver St. Cloud, Theodre Dumas and Veronica Vreeland. He was very close with Tommy, being inseperable friends. They often played chess, and other logistic games. Both had the ambition to become surgeons, with Tommy wanting to honor his late great-grandfather, while Bruce was inspired by his father to become a surgeon.

However, Tommy's parents get into a car crash (which was actually orchestrated by Tommy himself, but it was unknown to everyone) and Bruce's father rushes to Elliot Memorial, where the pair were transferred to. Bruce promised that his father can save both of his parents, but Bruce's father returns home, informing Tommy he was only able to save Tommy's mother, as his father's injuries were to severe. Enraged by the loss of his father, Tommy punches Bruce for lying to him for the first time, and then left the grounds, wishing Bruce was a dead man, ruining their friendship forever.

After he lost his friend Tommy, he found a new friend in Rachel Dawes, daughter to the Wayne Family housekeeper. They would develop a strong bond together, with Bruce supporting Rachel's dreams of becoming a lawyer, wishing to save the city.

Bruce was a huge sports fan, supporting Gotham's football, basketball, baseball and ice hockey teams.
