Having a vast fortune with a now famous world wide company, he and Martha get a butler known as Alfred Pennyworth to help around the house and tutor their only child, Bruce Wayne. Bruce's birthday present was, of course, a chance to watch any movie at a theater. After watching the movie known as "The mask of Zorro!", They walk through an alleyway, faster route. A mugger tells them to give him all their money. Thomas and Martha give away all their wallets and fancy things. Bruce hides behind his and Thomas and sees the Muggers face.
