I AM BATMAN!” – Bruce Wayne_ **• Name** - Bruce Anthony Wayne **• Alias** - The Batman **• Age** - 46 **• Occupation** - CEO of Wayne Enterprises - The DAMN Batman **• Skills & Abilities** - Ugh….he’s Batman **• Equipment** - Too much to name **• Personality & History** _Gotham Royalty_ February 19th 1968. Solomon Wayne Hospital. It is a particularly stormy night in Gotham City. A clown attempts to make his son laugh. Haly’s circus rolls into town and renowned surgeon Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha welcome baby Bruce into the world. The Wayne family more or less owned half of Gotham, the other half being held by the Kane family of which Martha was a distant relative. Young Bruce was doted on by his father, mother and godfather Alfred Pennyworth (whom also acted as the family butler). The Wayne’s were the stars in the eyes of all of Gotham, they were so loved. One of Bruce’s favourite memories is one night when he was nine, he and his mother were at a train platform and conversed with a young drifter named Joe (unbeknownst to all, the father of Superman). Everything was great for the Wayne family until that cold wintery night in December 1977, outside the Monarch theatre when Martha was gunned down in the coldest blood by a mugger after her pearls. _The First Dark Knight._ Upon the murder of his wife, something inside Thomas Wayne snapped and he donned a dark costume and with influence and aid from his friend Alfred, he became the first Batman. The two men fought the corruption of Gotham for six years, all the while young Bruce watched them meticulously, intent on following in his father’s footsteps. In 1984, Wayne Manor burned to the ground with Thomas and Wayne inside it. Bruce had lost everyone. Lucius Fox, another friend of the late Thomas took Bruce in and while the manor was slowly being rebuilt, Fox helped to immerse Bruce even further into his father’s legacy by taking him off on a trip around the world. _Year One_ In January of 1993, the Gotham Gazette reports strange sitings of a bat like creature. The reports were similar to that of a creature supposedly seen in Gotham between 1977 and 1984. Shortly after, a now adult Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham. After a particularly hostile hostage situation, rookie beat cop James Gordon comes face to face with the Batman and a lifelong partnership is born. In his first year as the dark knight, Bruce seems to cause the manifestation of a new kind of criminal. A man in clown paint. A woman in a cat costume. A portly fella with a crooked nose and an umbrella. Here cometh the rogues. _My Family_ A trip to the circus changed everything. When Bruce Wayne attended the circus that night with Selina Kyle, little did he expect to stare into the face of his past and his future. The Graysons were murdered in front of their only child’s eyes, just like Bruce’s years before. A connection was formed instantly and Bruce took in the child. From that moment on, nothing was the same as shortly after, the first Robin was born. Grayson. Gordon. Todd. Drake. Kane. Brown. Cain and Wayne. From the ashes of Gotham, a family of heroes was born. Now Bruce looks to add to that family with the addition of Selina Kyle. A white wedding? Or blood in the snow perhaps? **• Character Impressions** - Bruce plays thing close to the chest. You’ll find out his opinions in game **• Story Arc** _- Return of the Phantasm_ Once upon a time, a boy met a girl and fell madly in love. Secrets, lies and a penchant for the dramatic tore them apart. Reunited years later, love blossomed again until the same old problems forced them to separate once more. The time has come for this bond to be tested for the final time and it is to tested in the most unexpected and tragic of ways… **• Extra** - Batman doesn't drink alcohol to keep his physical state at his peak, but he tricks others around him by consuming ginger ale and pretending that it's alcohol. - Bruce has only said “I love you” three times. Andrea Beaumont being his first. Talia his second and Selina his third and final. - Secretly, Bruce always hated the Robin name but went along with it for the sake of his “children” ![](http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/batman/images/7/72/Detective_Comics_Vol_2-19_Cover-1_Teaser.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130116215324)
