Batman, known privately as Bruce Wayne, is a super hero designed by National Comics Publication, or as we know it, DC Comics. As a child, Bruce Wayne only had the best of everything in life, until one horrific day when he witnessed the brutal murder of his parents, Martha and Thomas Wayne. From that day on, he swore that he would do whatever it takes to prevent that tragedy from happening to anyone else. As a child, he travelled the world, picking up skills that would eventually help him fight crime. His first time trying to be a vigilante on the streets, however, almost got him killed. He needed something to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies and give him an advantage. What he needed, was a scary costume!
