Differences

 * Rather than traveling around the world, Bruce was actually in the military and learned all his skills from there.
 * Bruce and Alfred first met each other at the beginning of the comic rather than knowing each other for years.
 * Poison Ivy was a prostitute instead of a scientist.
 * Jason remains an enemy of Bruce, as it was decided more stories could be told with him as a villain than a hero.
