History of the Batman
Every superhero must have a beginning, and the Batman is no different.
Bruce Wayne was just like any normal child, but his parents were brutally murdered on the streets of Gotham. After this, he vowed to right wrongs, protect the innocent, and fight the forces of evil...to get revenge. He embraced the darkness and became the Batman.
Below is the documentary on Batman's History, which was dubbed "Legends of the Dark Knight: The History of Batman".
