Overview
aka The Bat-Man
A costumed crime-fighter and adventurer who has, for almost four decades waged, an unrelenting battle against the forces of crime, brutality, and evil. He is secretly Bruce Wayne, a millionaire socialite and philanthropist based in Gotham City who, while still a young boy, vows to dedicate his life to “warring on all criminals†after seeing his parents murdered by a hoodlum on a darkened city street. In April 1940, approximately a year after the onset of his crime-fighting career, Batman trains a young orphan named Dick Grayson to be his partner, conferring on him the name Robin, and thus launching the career of a crime-fighting partnership whose feats have become the stuff of legend. As chronicled in the 1980s, Dick outgrows the Robin identity and passes it the young Jason Todd.
Both Superman and Batman are founding members of the Justice League of America.
