Though regarded by many Gothamites as an urban legend built on superstition and fear of the city's darkened streets, Bruce Wayne knows all too well that the Batman is a cold, hard reality of his own fabrication. Since his parents' untimely death in Gotham's dreaded "Crime Alley," Wayne has spent his life in pursuit of physical and mental perfection in order to wage unrelenting war on crime. Watching over Gotham's streets from its gargoyles and parapets, the Dark Knight is the city's last best hope against evil. And it is this obsession that drives the Batman, for Wayne has vowed that no innocent should ever suffer the pain he has endured.

When the Venom-fueled Bane destroyed Arkham Asylum and unleashed its inhabitants on an unwary Gotham, Bruce Wayne learned that his obsession might be more than he can endure. Driving himself past the point of exhaustion to capture Arkham's most dangerous inmates, Batman led himself right into the clutches of Bane, who had deduced his identity and invaded the sanctity of Wayne Manor and the Batcave. There, surrounded by all the trophies and weapons of his crusade, Bruce Wayne was defeated, his back broken and spirit destroyed. Crippled and wheelchair-bound, the humbled Wayne left Jean Paul Valley (see AZRAEL) his costume and began an arduous quest to regain his strength and the will to fight, including calling upon the beautiful but deadly Lady Shiva to retrain him in the fighting skills he had spent years mastering.

Upon learning that Valley had become a darker, more violent version of Batman, Wayne returned to Gotham to reclaim the mantle of the Dark Knight forcibly. Shortly thereafter, Bruce Wayne departed Gotham once again, leaving the city's custodianship in the hands of his former partner Dick Grayson (see NIGHTWING) for a time. When Wayne finally did return, it was for good, adopting a darker look and stronger arsenal to reflect the changes in body and mind Bane's attack had wrought upon him. Since that time, he has returned to the Gotham night and attempted to rebuild his life as both Bruce Wayne and Batman, in addition to reaffirming his relationships with Tim Drake (see ROBIN), Dick Grayson and Alfred. Make no mistake: Batman's mission is no less driven, but it is now tempered by a sense of his own fallibility and a realization that the war on Gotham's crime need not be fought alone.
