I spent a lifetime with the greatest hero the world has ever known. A man who denied his own grace and dignity. A man who hid his heroism behind the psychosis of loss, because he couldn't ever admit to the arrogant idea... that he was a good person. 
In a possible future, Bruce Wayne married Selina Kyle and had a daughter named Helena.
History
The Cat and the Clown
While looking into one of The Joker's murders, Batman discovered that the victim had a lion necklace that went missing. This led him to believe Catwoman was involved as well.[2] While the pair were getting ready for a gala, Selina told him that The Joker had planted a bomb at the Gotham Ice Rink. Afterwards, Batman demanded Catwoman tell him where The Joker was, but she left, insulted he would treat her as just another criminal.[3]
Feeling bad, he eventually went to see her at her apartment, telling her he was lost without her.[4] Going back to Wayne Manor, the couple made up. Bruce revealed that he deduced that she was with The Joker, but accepted she wouldn't tell him his location.[5] Selina eventually changed her mind and brought Batman to Joker's hideout and the two apprehended him.[6]
Return of the Phantasm
Bruce met with Andrea Beaumont, asking for help locating her son, Andrew. Bruce; however, was too late, and found Andrew had been killed with Joker Venom.[7] Enraged, Andrea started hunting down Joker's henchmen hoping to find him. Joker activated the Bat-Signal and surrendered to Batman and Catwoman.[2] Phantasm ended up breaking into Wayne Manor while he was away and kidnapped Selina.[3] Andrea set up a prisoner exchange, but Batman didn't comply and a fight ensued. He let his guard down when Andrea imply she blamed him for his family's death, allowing for Selina to knock him out.[4]
Bruce's past haunts his future.
When Batman reunited with Catwoman, she revealed that they went to Joker's cell, but Joker whispered something to Phantasm to make her change her mind. Andrea then grabbed him and escaped.[5] Bruce had figured out that Andrew was the lost son of the Covingtons so he and Selina went to their home. They found Joker and Phantasm, so Joker kicked a bomb he had smuggled in.[8] Everyone but Joker and Catwoman were knocked out. The two fought and Selina almost killed him, only to be stopped by Bruce.[9] The two met up with Clayface, whom Batman believed was Andrea, tricked him into thinking Phantasm had committed suicide.[6]
Some of These Days
Not long after Andrea's death, still within the Christmas season, Bruce and Selina finally wed.[10] The Waynes eventually decided to have a child named Helena. They often took turns staying with her as the other went out crimefighting. At the age of eleven, they decided to train her as the next Robin and later Batwoman.[11] Years later, Bruce fell ill and died surrounded by his family in Wayne Manor.[12]
