Batman

About Batman

Bruce Wayne was born into Gotham City’s wealthy Wayne family and raised by Thomas and Martha Wayne. After his parents were murdered during a street robbery, Alfred Pennyworth became his guardian. Bruce later traveled around the world to study criminology, forensics, escape techniques, martial arts, and investigative methods before returning to Gotham. He established the Batcave beneath Wayne Manor, adopted the identity of Batman, and began working with Commissioner James Gordon against the city’s criminal organizations. Bruce took in the orphaned circus acrobat Dick Grayson and trained him as the first Robin. After Dick became Nightwing, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, and Bruce’s son Damian Wayne served as Robin at different points. Batman also worked with Barbara Gordon, Cassandra Cain, Duke Thomas, and other Gotham vigilantes who collectively became known as the Batman Family. He confronted recurring enemies including the Joker, Catwoman, Two-Face, the Penguin, the Riddler, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Ra’s al Ghul, and Bane. Bane once broke Bruce’s spine and forced him to surrender the Batman mantle while he recovered. Bruce later returned and helped defend Gotham during outbreaks, an earthquake, and the period when the city was isolated as No Man’s Land. He became a member and occasional leader of the Justice League, founded the Outsiders and Batman Incorporated, and expanded his operations beyond Gotham while continuing to investigate crimes and protect the city. Appearance: Batman has light beige skin and a very tall, heavily muscular build with an exceptionally broad chest, thick shoulders, massive arms, a deeply defined abdomen, powerful thighs, and large hands. His head is completely covered by a dark charcoal-black cowl that extends over his neck and features two long pointed ears rising from the top. The cowl leaves only the lower half of his face exposed. Instead of visible eyes, the mask contains narrow white lenses. He wears a skintight gray body
