Batman is the super-hero protector of Gotham City, a man dressed like a bat who fights against evil and strikes terror into the hearts of criminals everywhere. In his secret identity, he assumes the alias of Bruce Wayne, billionaire industrialist and notorious playboy; though “Bruce Wayne” is technically his real name, this Bruce Wayne is a disguise—that of the man he would have been had his parents not been murdered before his eyes when he was no more than a mere boy.
Although Batman possesses no super-human powers, he is one of the world’s smartest men and greatest fighters. His physical prowers and technical ingenuity make him an incredibly dangerous opponent.
