Appearing first in 1939, Batman is much darker than a superhero counterpart, Superman. Hi! Welcome to WatchMojo.com, I’m your host Derek Allen and today we’ll be exploring the dark roots of Bruce Wayne and Batman. As with most other superheroes, there are sometimes contradicting events in the history of these characters. We have chosen to stick with one popular timeline. Born to a wealthy family in Gotham City, Bruce Wayne was heir to his family’s fortune. One night however will change the pass set out for him. As a young boy, Bruce witnessed his parents’ murder at the hands of an unidentified mugger. Bruce’s life was dramatically changed from then on as he vowed to avenge his parents’ death. Longtime butler of the Wayne family, Alfred Pennyworth arranged so that Bruce would not be taken in to Social Service Care. As a teenager, Bruce Wayne departs on a journey around the world to learn all the skills needed to become the crusader he envisioned. Bruce Wayne then returned to Gotham City, a city rampant with crime and corruption. A bat flying through his window gave him the inspiration to transform himself into Batman.
Soon after, his new persona was born. He becomes an urban legend in Gotham City, sending shivers to the city’s underworld, a place where criminals were before free to work mostly under the cover of police corruption. Batman has no superpowers. Instead he uses his fighting skills, scientific knowledge and exceptional detective abilities to fight crime. His utility belt is outfitted with various gadgets he uses in various scenarios, such as the grappler guns, smoke grenades and his own personalized boomerangs better known as Batterangs. Perhaps the most famous bat inspired object used by Batman is his Batmobile. During the day, Bruce Wayne plays up a lifestyle of a superficial wealthy playboy in order to hide his crime fighting alter-ego.
