BATMAN
Bruce Wayne witnessed his parents gunned down and was traumatized by the event. He nonetheless used it as a driving force in his life, dedicating himself to the eradication of crime in vengeance. Spending years traveling the world, schooling himself in science, criminology, and various forms of armed and unarmed conflict. Wayne returned to Gotham and, with the resources of his company, began a one-man war on crime as the Batman, a mystery considered by many to be an urban legend but his time in the shadows has come to a rapid ending.
ALFRED PENNYWORTH
A former British intelligence agent, Alfred Pennyworth experienced a career change in his life when his father died. His father had been a loyal butler to the Wayne family and asked Alfred to take over for him. Choosing to honor his father’s final wish, Alfred began serving the Waynes, becoming a trusted friend to Thomas and Martha. So much so that upon their death, they gave Alfred custody of Bruce. Alfred is one of a select few people who know Bruce’s double life and is his closest, most trusted confidant.
