Bruce Wayne is the son of Martha Wayne nee Kane and Thomas Wayne and father of Richard Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Cassandra Wayne, and Damian Wayne, among others. Inspired by his aunt's work as the first Huntress, he trained in investigation and combat to become Batman, and later founded both the Batfamily and Batman Inc. During his time as Batman Bruce cultivated a cryptid image for the Dark Knight and a philanthropic playboy/single father image for himself.

Early Life
Bruce Wayne was born to Martha and Thomas Wayne in -33. Martha, a defense attorney, had had a court date set a week before she was due, but the judge refused to shift the date and she went into labor while presenting her case. She finished her statement before going to the hospital, and the court date was delayed.

When Bruce was three his paternal aunt, Helena Wayne I, died in a fire. Although it was reportedly an accident, the remaining Waynes began to grow paranoid, and Martha and Thomas soon hired on Alfred Pennyworth as a butler and bodyguard.

Bruce was a quiet child, so much so that Martha and Thomas grew worried about his lack of speech.
