"Without warning, it comes...crashing through the window of your study, and mine...I have seen it before...somewhere. It frightened me as a boy... frightened me. Yes, father. I shall become a bat."
His parents were murdered in front of him as child by a petty crook. When he grew up, he left the hell that is Gotham City to train and seek vengeance. When he returned, he left behind Bruce Wayne and returned, not as the hero Gotham needed, but the hero the innocent deserved. A monster to bring fear to those who pray of the fearful. He became a symbol, inspired by what brings himself fear. He became the dark knight. He became legend.
Dark Knight. Caped Crusader. World’s Greatest Detective. Whatever you know him as, wherever you know him from—the blockbuster movies, TV shows, video games, cartoons, or millions of comics—Batman is proof you don’t need superpowers to be a superhero… and the poster boy for what a bad childhood can do to you.
Through his career, written from 1939 and still going strong, he has solved the unsolvable and saved the unsavable, but has been helpless against the likes of the Joker murder a sidekick and make batgirl a paraplegic, his mental stability has been broken, his back has been broken, his city has been destroyed by an earthquake, he has been framed for murder and most recently he was boomed through back through time and history itself after he broke his own rule in killing an alien war monger to save the mulit-verse!
Forget his Batarangs, Batmobile, or Utility Belt filled with high-tech weapons. Batman is the most feared superhero of all, because he’s pushed himself to the absolute pinnacle of human achievement. He’s a brilliant detective who’s mastered fighting techniques the world’s barely heard of. An Olympic-caliber athlete with a plan for every occasion, Batman’s seemingly always five steps ahead of his foes. But in his crusade against injustice, two questions always loom: How far will he go to protect the innocent, and will he sacrifice his humanity along the way?
