Biography
Past life
Long before he was Batman, Bruce Wayne was originally the child of Thomas and Martha Wayne, where he once lived a happy life in their wealthy upbringing. After seeing a movie in a nearby theater, the family went to Crime Ally, where they are discovered by a petty mugger. The man killed both Thomas and Martha cold-blooded, leaving the two dead in front of the young boy.[1]
Left alone as an orphan, Bruce sought to avenge his parents by training his physical and mental abilities, during which it peaked upon adulthood. He studied on criminals and he knew the knowledge that they are—by nature—a cowardly lot. While thinking of a disguise, a bat swooped in by Wayne Manor and inspired him, making up the identity of Batman.[1] Now a crime-fighter and a brilliant detective, he operates under Gotham City to swear vengeance against criminals. When not as the Caped Crusader, Bruce is a rich philanthropist owning Wayne Enterprises.

Behind the scenes
- Batman is a DC Comics character created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger. He made his first appearance in Detective Comics #27 (published in 1939).
- The deaths of Batman's parents in "The Fear" was the first time their deaths had been depicted outside of what DC Comics had published. Of course, you didn't actually see them get shot, as the camera moved away from that scene, but given how Super Friends began, it's a major growth in how the series began with its squeaky clean image.
- A young version of Batman would've appeared in Hanna-Barbera's proposed prequel series Junior Superfriends.
- Shaggy dresses up as Batman in LEGO Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood, giving Batman a cameo of sorts.
In popular culture
- In the "Real World: Metropolis" segment of the Robot Chicken episode "The Deep End," Batman finds Gleek electrocuting Robin through his nipples.
