His StoryWith the progression of Batman through comics to cartoons, Bruce Wayne's story has been revised multiple times and therefore many aspects of his life are unknown. However, it is known that he was born in Gotham City to Thomas and Martha Wayne.
Early on in his childhood, when he was a young boy, Bruce Wayne was walking home from the theater with his parents when a mugger attacked and held the three at gunpoint. Both Thomas and Martha were murdered before his very eyes.From that moment on, Bruce swore to rid Gotham City of the crime that took his parents' lives. He was raised by his loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth, who even now, continues to assist and look after him. Batman & RobinThrough his keen intellect,strength, speed, reflexes, gadgets, and vast knowledge of Martial Arts, Bruce combats the crime of Gotham City at night as Batman, often with the aid of his sidekick, Robin. Though the identity of Batman remains constant in the cartoon (except in Batman beyond where Terry McGinnis takes on the persona of Batman after Bruce has retired), the identity of Robin changes, adding up to a total of five different Robins.
