Born in 1914 to Thomas and Martha Wayne of Gotham City. Bruce Wayne was orphaned at the age of 10 owing to the brutal murder of his parents at the hands of small-time mugger Joey Chill. The indomitable lad, bearing the psychological scars caused by his parents' senseless death, swore that as a memorial he would spend the rest of his life fighting the forces of evil.

Since the Wayne estate made him fabulously wealthy, Bruce Wayne was able to devote his adolescence to the study of science, the training of his body, and a scrutiny of the criminal mind. As an adult, he was well equipped for his life's work. He was a master scientist and inventor. He was a highly trained gymnast. And most important, perhaps, he was an expert in the labyrinthine twistings of the criminal mind.

But before embarking on his crusade against crime, he needed a disguise. He decided that a creature of the night would strike terror into criminals, who were generally a superstitious and cowardly lot. As he mused about this one night, he looked out the window of his study and saw the chilling silhouette of a bat displayed against the full moon. Instantly, he chose the bat as his symbol. Thus did Bruce Wayne, the flamboyant millionaire and playboy, become Batman, the world's greatest detective.

Batman's initial onslaughts against the underworld, which began in 1939, drew the ire of police officials, who refused to condone his extralegal vigilante activities. However, after 1941, when he was made an honorary member of the Gotham Police Force. Batman was able to escalate his crime-fighting endeavors.

Note in other versions, Batman's parents are said to be killed by other characters, including the Joker (before he became the Joker).

In most media; He became Batman because his parents were were murdered during a robbery in front of his own eyes, traumatizing him. This lead him to vow that he will never again allow crimes like this to go unpunished and unsolved. After he graduated from the most prestigious of universities by the age of 18 and learning that participating in the legal motions of crime solving would not give him the justice he was seeking, he traveled around the world, seeking training of various forms of arts from the best of the best, such as Martial Arts, thievery, escapology, and many more. When he returned to Gotham City, he tried to make use all that he learned through vigilantism, but nearly died on his first attempt because the criminal element did not fear him as a simple human being in a ski mask. While sulking in by the fireplace in Wayne Manor over this dilemma, a bat crashed through his window, invoking a sense of fear in him. That's when it hit him that he had to be more than just a simple human being in the eyes of the criminals. After all, criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot, and what better way to make use of their superstitious and cowardly nature against them by dressing up as a giant bat that seem to appear out of nowhere and disappear all the same after capturing them all.

In the Nolan-verse; He became 'Batman' specifically because he was afraid of Bats. He wanted to show a symbol that could be used for good, but he in turn had fear of that symbol. So now he has overcome his fear of bats, but is also looked towards as a vigilante.

Bruce Wayne(a.k.a. Batman) wanted to take revenge for his parent's death so he traveled the world and learned skills from all across the globe then one day when he returned to Gotham he built his suit and made the batcave BUT his suit and cave technology required lots of money batman's suit was lightweight as possible and made of titanium tri-wave kelvar and batman's car the batmobile required lots of money also so to become a hero you must learn many skills like batman did have the right equipment and tools you'll need and i would recommend a fast batmobile and make it solar powered by day and electric by night

Batman became a superhero by learning from his parents death. When he was little, his parent's died in crime alley, by a cold crook named Joe Chill. From that, Batman learned that he can fight off any crime from happening anywhere and anytime. Therefore he is known as a great role-model.

There was a this rich kid, whose dad was a big time president of this huge company in a dark city called Gotham. One day, after a play, according to the movie, the boy, Bruce Wayne, and his parents were mugged in the alley, with his mother's prized necklace being stolen/broken, and his dad steps up to defend them, but he gets shot, as does his mother. The gangster laughs at the boy, and leaves him in the alley to cry over his parents.He was taken in by his family's butler, Alfred, and once he was of age, he decided to use his new status, as the son of former president, to suit up as a bat for he feared bats and him confronting his fears made him the fear of all who had anything to do with the death of his parents. Sometime around here, he goes to train in the mountains somewhere with an elite group of ninjas known as the Shadow, or the Black Shadow. Later, he takes the reins of the company officially, and goes after, in the movie, the drug dealer Scarecrow, and his boss, Raz al Ghoul, who just happened to have trained him previously, as he is real boss of the Shadow instead of the Asian guy he saw in the mountains. And oh, yeah, in the movie, instead of a batmobile, he has a bat tank, which is a all terrain vehicle that looks frickin' awesome in black.In the new movie, out summer of '08, the dark knight, another name for batman, takes on two face, played by eckhart, and joker, played by Heath Ledger, who presumably killled his folks. His new vehicle in this movie is the bat pod, which is the new version of the bat cycle, which is bound for success as well. He was in his study one night and a bat came through the window.

Dick Grayson, the first robin, came from a family of acrobats, but his family was killed, so he was then brought to Bruce Wayne to live, and he joined Batman's "war on crime" as Robin. He eventually quit after an argument with Batman, and later returned as Nightwing.

Jason Todd, the second Robin, was an orphan who Batman caught vandalizing the batmobile. Batman took him in and trained him to become Robin, but he was murdered by the Joker.

After that, Tim Drake found out who Batman was and confronted him in the batcave. Batman was impressed by Tim's detective skills and he began training him. Eventually, Tim's father found out he was fighting crime and made him quit being Robin,

Tim's girlfriend, Stephanie Brown, then tried to take over the role of Robin. Batman fired her for being reckless and disobeying orders, and without his knowledge she returned to her previous superhero identity and tried to prove herself to him. In her attempts to prove her worth, Stephanie accidently started a city-wide gangwar, and Tim returned to being Robin after trying to save one of his schoolmates.

Later, Batman died, and Dick became Batman. He fired Tim in favor of Damien Wayne, Batman's son. Later, Batman turned out not to be dead, and returned to being Batman, but he kept Damien as Robin.

In an alternate Universe, a girl named Carrie Kelley became Robin after saving Batman's life.

In the "World without Young Justice" storyline, Impulse is forced to change the universe due to time travel shenanigans, creating an alternate universe where Stephanie Brown became Robin instead of Tim when Batman stops her from killing her father.

As of the New 52, Helena Wayne, Bruce Wayne's daughter to Catwoman, was Earth 2's original Robin. As an adult, she claimed the role of Huntress and is currently stuck in the Earth 1 Universe with Powergirl, trying to find her way home.

Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered by a robber when he was a child, so he dedicated his life to fighting crime as a superhero. Unlike Superman, Batman has no special powers.
