Quote1 Master Wayne, since the age of seven, you have been to the art of deception as Mozart to the harpsichord. Quote2
Alfred Pennyworth src


Bruce Wayne was born to Thomas and Martha Wayne. When he was eight, he witnessed his parents get murdered. Bruce ran away from the funeral and fell into a hole in the ground. Luckily, a swarm of bats carried Bruce out of the hole. Many years later, he became the vigilante known as Batman. During his career Bruce made several enemies and even had an partner named "Robin". However Bruce's nemesis, the Joker, killed Robin and Bruce placed his armor in memorial on the Batcave.

During the fight between Superman and General Zod, Bruce witnessed all the collateral damage the fight caused. He tried helping many people that are injured.

Later Batman branded a criminal with the Bat symbol and escaped from the police officer trying to catch him.

Bruce attended Lex Luthor's party and met Clark Kent went downstairs to put a hacking device in the LexCorp mainframe. However, it was stolen by Diana Prince.

Bruce fell asleep in the Batcave where he had a nightmare of Superman leading an army. He woke up to Flash appearing telling him that "Lois Lane is the key". He then woke up from the dream-within-a-dream.

Batman later chased some criminals in the Batmobile until he ran into Superman. Superman told him not to go to the Bat Signal. "The Bat is dead." Batman asked if he bleeds. Superman flew off and Batman threatened that he will.

After Bruce saw the Congress building explode on the news, he exercised to prepare to fight Superman. He made a suit of armor and turned on the Bat Signal to summon Superman. Superman came under blackmail from Lex Luthor. They fought. Batman shot Kryptonite gas to weaken Superman. The gas eventually wore off but Batman had another Kryptonite gas pallet. He then prepared to kill Superman with a Kryptonite spear until Superman plead that they are going to kill Martha. Batman demanded to know why he was using that name. Lois Lane arrived and begged Batman to stop, telling him that Martha is Superman's mother. Realizing that the alien he sought to kill was just as "human" as himself, and that he almost became the very thing that drove him to protect Gotham in the first place, Batman tossed the spear aside and agreed to help Superman's mother. Batman came to a warehouse and beat up some goons. He then rescued Martha.

After a nuclear missile failed to kill a monster called Doomsday, Batman tried to take him out with the Batwing. But Doomsday took down the Batwing and shot heat vision at him. Luckily, Wonder Woman had blocked the blast with her indestructible bracelets. Superman recovered from the missile's hit and joined the fight. The three heroes battled Doomsday until Superman stabbed him with the Kryptonite spear, getting impaled by Doomsday's spikes in the process.

Bruce attended a funeral for Superman and spoke to Diana about forming a team of Metahumans.
