BATMAN

Batman, Caped-Crusader, the Dark Knight, all these aliases are for the one true legendary Superhero whose name is feared by each and every thug, hooligan and even the most powerful of the criminals. His unique style of stealth and ambush in the silence of darkness is his most powerful weapon. The intelligence, knowledge and skill possessed by him are matchless and that is what makes him dark, terrifying and good!

As a young kid, Bruce Wayne has seen a life of luxury and happiness but not for a long time. The brutal murder of his parents, Dr. Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha, in front of his eyes leaves him traumatized and helpless. The guilt of not being strong enough to be able to protect them haunts him every single day of his life. He continues his routine life under the guardianship of ever loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth and gets a graduation degree from Yale Law School along with his childhood friend Rachel Dawes. As a billionaire young man and the sole heir to Wayne Enterprises, Bruce needs no other source for earning money.

To find the purpose of his life and curb the guilt inside himself he roams around the world, learning various skills such as escapology, pick-pocketing, lock picking etc. He also learns a number of martial arts like Jujitsu, Kung-Fu, Ninjitsu, Tai-Chi, Judo, Kick Boxing and many others.

Finally he returns to Gotham after an absence of almost eight years. But still, the rage inside him has not been succumbed. It is just another random day that he remembers falling into a deep pit accidentally during his childhood, in the outer gardens of the Wayne Manor. Something about it intrigues him a lot and he decides to descend down and rummage the foundations of his mansion. As he sets foot in the darkness of the pit a wave of bats attack him, terrified, he ducks down and closes his eyes. The same fear that he felt at the time of his parents’ murder engulfs him. He feels desperate and helpless again. Sitting down there, he thinks of all he had learned in all those years. He feels as if all of it has gone in vain, become useless and a waste.

A distinct voice, a faint image appears in his mind. He tries to concentrate and recognizes it as of Dr. Thomas Wayne’s, his father. The voice tells him to be strong and brave, to face the challenges of the world and to spread the good and prevent evil. Suddenly a feeling of peace and calmness overwhelms him and tears begin to fill his deep brown eyes. He stands up, spreads his arms and feels the bats flying past him. He fights his inner fears, opens his eyes and from this moment on he feels as if he has found the purpose of his life, his true identity, his inner strength – 

The Batman!
