Synopsis for "The Secret Origin of Bruce (Superman) Wayne"

Jor-El's rocket bearing Kal-El lands in Gotham City, where the Kryptonian infant is found by patrolman James W. Gordon and is brought to Thomas and Martha Wayne, who later adopt him when no one claimed the abandoned child. They soon learn that the youngster (whom they named Bruce) has super-powers, which come in handy years later in warding off the attack of hitman Joe Chill. His employer, Lew Moxon, goes to jail as a result. Gordon, who later becomes police commissioner, trains young Bruce Wayne in the proper use of his powers and in criminology. Later, Moxon breaks jail and tries to machine-gun the Waynes, but Bruce assumes a disguise and disarms and kayoes Moxon. Later, consulting with Gordon and Thomas Wayne, Bruce decides that he will become a costumed crimefighter named Superman.
