Brief Character History: Bruce’s parents were murdered in front of him when he was seven years old. Raised by the Wayne family butler, Alfred Pennyworth, he harbored a secret desire to kill his parents’ murderer. He went away to Princeton with vague thoughts of becoming a doctor like his father had been, but returned home with no intention to go back to school when Chill came up for parole. Bruce carried a .38 special to the hearing, but one of Falcone’s people shot Chill before Bruce could get to him. After disturbing conversations with childhood girlfriend Rachel Dawes and crime lord Carmen Falcone, Bruce hightailed it out of town on a cargo freighter and disappeared.

For the last year and a half before going to Tropolis, he’d been tramping around taking work where he can find it, stealing when he couldn’t, and basically learning about poverty, crime and desperation. He went to Tropolis to continue learning about what it's like not to be Bruce Wayne but he was foiled in that, and has now left to protect the new family he gained from the media circus that will follow.

They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something... [S]omething out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge.

Joe Chill is dead, but that thing out there in the dark, it's still there. Rachel said my father would be ashamed of me, and maybe she's right. But it's what Falcone said that eats away at me in the night, when I'm alone...

Look around you. You'll see two councilmen, a union official, a couple of off-duty cops, and a judge. Now you think, just because your mommy and your daddy got shot, you know about the ugly side of life, but you don't. You've never tasted desperate. You're Bruce Wayne, the Prince of Gotham, you'd have to go a thousand miles to meet someone who didn't know your name, so don't come down here with your anger, trying to prove something to yourself. This is a world you'll never understand. And you always fear what you don't understand.
