The Dark Knight •Bruce Wayne•

Introduction:
•I Made a promise on the grave of my parents to rid Gotham City of the evil that took their lives. By day, I am Bruce Wayne, billionare philanthrapist. At night, criminals, a cowardly and supersticious lot, call me...BATMAN.
In the beginning:
•A citizen of the crime-ridden Gotham City, Bruce Wayne was born into a wealthy family. As Batman, he uses the benefits of his wealth as well as his intellectual and physical abilities to fight the injustices burned into his mind by the death of his parents.
•While brooding in his study over how to be a more effective crime fighter, Bruce Wayne saw a bat crash through his window and perch on the bust of his father. Realizing that "criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot," Bruce adopts the persona of a bat in order to conceal his identity and strike fear into his adversaries. It is as a result of this incident that the batsuit was developed.
•Bruce goes out for the first time as Batman and stops a trio of teenagers from stealing a television. A brief struggle ensues, resulting in the Dark Knight's first victory. The legend quickly grows with Batman attacking criminals with increasing boldness, including Flass, who was present at one crime, receiving a pay off from the criminals. One night, when the corrupt city leaders and gangsters like Carmine Falcone gather for a dinner party, Commissioner Loeb explains why Batman is politically advantageous to themselves, assuming he would never bother them; meanwhile, Batman sneaks onto the grounds, puts the guards to sleep and sets up stage lights around the window that comprises one of the dining room walls. He cuts the electricity, throwing the room in darkness, blows a hole in the outside wall and then activates the lights. He gives the men and women a dire warning that he is just as determined to deliver them to justice as well, then leaves.
•Bruce Wayne is often seen by the public as not much more than a playboy, with little to recommend him but the wealth he inherited. He encourages this perception in order to draw attention away from his nightly missions as Batman. Wayne is truly a successful businessman, who guides or participates both in running the company he inherited, Wayne Enterprises, and in the philanthropic efforts of The Wayne Foundation. Batman is portrayed as being more of a real, complete person than Bruce Wayne, who exists merely as Batman's cover.
•The police try to capture Batman numerous times, but Bruce is too elusive and alert to fall for their traps. In addition, the maverick district attorney, Harvey Dent, becomes Batman's secret ally. After the police chase him down, Batman flees into an abandoned building.
•When cops arrive on the scene, the commissioner is quick to call in the trigger-happy Branden and his squad to drop a bomb on the building, which the Commissioner claims has already been scheduled for demolition. After suffering two dizzying gun wounds, Batman escapes into the secure basement and survives the blast. A crowd gathers outside the building. Batman uses a small device in his boot to summon thousands of bats from his cave to the building. A battle occurs as the police storm into the building and hunt him down. He incapacitates some and even saves a cat, jumping out of the building (after throwing a police officer forcefully through a wall) and takes advantage of the chaos that occurs when the bat colony arrives to speed away on a police motorcycle and escape.
