I do not own any DC characters. Shocking I know
Bruce Wayne was the son of two of Gotham's wealthiest and most famous people. However his life changed permanently when a shooter killed his parents. Resolving to prevent crimes like this from happening he began to study anything he could, particularly martial arts and technology.
With the help of his butler, Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce designed and built a partially robotic suit that gave him enhanced strength, flight, and razor sharp claws. Inside his mask was; an interface that allowed him to communicate directly with his computer and, instruments that let him monitor a person's vitals (that's how he knew Joker was telling the truth. Finally, to Alfred's confusion, he wore a trench coat with a stylized bat on it. When the Butler asked why, the young Wayne replied, "Trench coats are cool."
After his parents' death, Bruce had developed a somewhat sarcastic personality and this carried over to his alter ego. The Batman would often make cynical remarks during a fight, which irritated his enemies to no end.
Although he currently had no sidekick, The Batman had in the past had a protégé by the name of Robin. The first one, Richard Grayson, now lived in Bludhaven and had adopted the name Nightwing and a new costume to go with it. The other, Tim Drake, had joined the young team called the Teen Titans and went by the name of Red Robin.
However there was one other Robin who was unknown to most of the world. Jason Todd had only taken the name for a few weeks when it happened. During a fight with a gang of Joker minions the boy had been captured and held prisoner. By the time Batman had found where he was being held it was too late. Above Jason's barely recognizable body was Joker holding a bloodied crowbar.
Bruce had beaten the Clown to within an inch of his life after he saw it. Afterwards he had become nearly suicidal and often exposed himself to situations that would almost certainly kill him. It wasn't until he met Drake that he was able to accept Jason's death and even then he made sure that Tim had more rigorous training than either Grayson or Todd had.
To this day Bruce saw Jason's death as his greatest failure. But rather than let it drag him down he used it as greater motivation to continue his war on the criminals of the city.
let me know if you like it (or hate it). Sorry the chapters are so short
