 * 1) When he was ten Bruce Wayne saw his parents be shot and killed in front of him. Years later, he traveled the world becoming a master in every martial art known to man. When he returned home, he revealed to his butler, Alfred Pennyworth, that he was planning on becoming a symbol of hope for Gotham City by becoming a vigilante. Ignoring Alfred's concerns, Bruce stitched together a navy blue and grey suit. Later that night, a group of criminals are attempting to rob a bank when Bruce shows up, now in his suit. He gets in to a fight with the criminals, showing off his skills when he dodges a speeding bullet before knocking out the armed criminal. The next morning, GCPD Lieutenant, James Gordon, is at the scene where Bruce was fighting the criminals. It's revealed the criminals have been tied up and are hanging upside down with a note on them, saying simply "hello". The criminals are cut down and arrested, as they scream about the "giant bat" which beat them. One of the criminals are interviewed by the GCPD, with one cop drawing a picture of the attacker. The picture ends up being an actual giant bat wearing pants, but the criminal claims it's correct. Because of this, everyone starts refering to the new vigilante as the Batman.
