History[]

One night, Thomas and Martha Wayne took their young son Bruce to the Monarch Theatre where a Zorro film was currently playing. After the movie, the Wayne family had to walk through a dark alleyway on the way to their car and were suddenly confronted by Joe Chill. The criminal then proceeded to shoot and kill the Waynes in front of Bruce.

After he witnessed the deaths of his parents, Bruce Wayne grew up to consider violence an anathema to him. As an adult, he eventually adopted the identity of Batman and dedicated his entire life to crime-fighting.
