Bruce Wayne (Earth-6457)

"I didn't take you here to guilt you. I want you to understand. The worst thing imaginable happened right in front of my eyes when I was just a child, when I was younger than you, and all the rules of the world were broken. It took me decades to pull myself together into something new... something strong. A man who could overcome what had happened to him, but also a man who could work tirelessly to make sure that would never happen to another family. It is selfish, in a way. I'll grant you that. But it's what I can do. And I need to do something. I need to do it for them, for this city."

- - Batman Bruce Wayne is the son of the late Thomas and Martha Wayne, heir to the billionaire Wayne family, whom raised Bruce with care and passing. During one day when he and his parents were leaving at Monarch Theater after watching The Mask of Zorro, a criminal stopped the family, and killed both Thomas and Martha in cold blood in the front of the young Bruce. Since that day, Bruce vowed to avenge their deaths and bring justice to New York City. Raised by Alfred Pennyworth, the family's butler, Bruce would travel the world, mastering both his body and mind, eventually returning to New York and partnering with Alfred to wage a one-man war against crime as the masked vigilante, the Dark Knight, Batman.
