Personality
-----------------------------------------------
Bruce Wayne is a complex character. He cares for people and believes idealistically in their better nature and second chances, but struggles with two of the fundamentals of relationships: communication and honesty. He has a dark sense of humor, obsesses, and can be judgmental and hypocritical. He’s an idealist at heart in an extremely terrible city.
First and foremost, Bruce Wayne is not mentally healthy. He is obsessive. If he latches onto an idea, be it a moral standard, a mission, or a symbol, that will consume him. Alfred has expressed concern about this on many, many occasions, but Bruce will not be dissuaded.
Bruce is highly private. He keeps things close to his chest: feelings, plans, his levels of trust. He is highly guarded, at best reserved and cautious, at worst antisocial and paranoid.
That said, he has a huge love for and belief in the goodness of people. He’s good with kids. He is always trying to help people, from victims to villains. He values all life. His crusade is not one of revenge, it’s born of a desire to see justice done and make it so that no one else has to go through what he went through. He’s all about rehabilitation and second chances—no matter how many times it fails and he has to go after the same rogues again and again, he still tries to get through to them.
POWERS AND ABILITIES
-----------------------------------------------
Batman does not have any metahuman abilities. Instead, he relies on his sharp mind and disciplined body, as well as his extensive combat and detective training. A master of virtually every form of martial arts, a brilliant tactician and a genius-level forensic scientist, Bruce also has access to his family’s fortune, which he’s used to create a near-limitless supply of advanced technology for his war on crime.
Housed in the Batcave beneath Wayne Manor is an armada of specialized Batmobiles and Batplanes, troves of weaponry and armor and the Batcomputer, a supercomputer that links Bruce’s technology across the globe and beyond.
Batman prides himself on being prepared for any emergency. He’s devised various fail-safes and plans for any number of potential doomsday scenarios. As the sometime leader of the Justice League and the patriarch of the Batman Family, he’s more than ready to take on whatever the universe throws at him. Armed with a utility belt full of Batarangs, a Batsuit loaded with cutting-edge technology and his own hair-trigger reflexes, Batman is ready to strike fear into the hearts of criminals everywhere.
ORIGIN STORY
-----------------------------------------------
Young Bruce Wayne was a child of privilege, raised under the watchful eye of his parents, Thomas and Martha, in the upper echelons of Gotham City’s high society. Far removed from the city’s slow descent into corruption and chaos, Bruce enjoyed a carefree childhood with the promise of a bright and easy future, in which his family’s name and fortune would see to it that he would never want for anything.
But fate intervened before that future could ever become a reality. One night, after the Waynes exited a movie theater in one of Gotham’s rougher neighborhoods, they were caught in a mugging that left both Thomas and Martha shot dead before Bruce’s eyes. Suddenly orphaned, Bruce was left in the care of his family’s butler, Alfred Pennyworth, as he fought to survive in a world where the rules as he understood them no longer made sense.
Bruce slowly turned his grief into fuel for a lifelong obsession. Instead of succumbing to self-destruction, he swore an oath to 'war on all criminals' for the rest of his life, to prevent the tragedy that occurred to him from happening to anyone else in Gotham. Inspired by the bats that infested his family’s property, and his lifelong fear of them, he took on the identity of Batman, the hero that Gotham and the rest of the DC universe needs. Summoned to action by the glow of the Bat-Signal, a floodlight used by his ally Commissioner Jim Gordon of the Gotham City Police Department, Batman watches over his domain as a vigilant protector and stalwart Dark Knight.
