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).
