Hello everyone!
And welcome to the MajestiComic channel, where we profile heroes and villains from every
comic book genre, franchise, and universe.
Today, we are profiling perhaps one of the most important and influential characters
in all of comic book history: Batman.
Last year we did a tribute video to Batman on Batman Day that explored how the Dark Knight
came to be and what he means to people of all ages and from all walks of life.
In this video, though, we want to focus more on his origin story, and what made young Bruce
Wayne into the dark, brooding hero he is today.
Created in 1939 by Bill Finger and Robert Kane, Batman is one of the oldest superheroes
in comics – even though he is not technically quote –unquote "super" at all.
He is just a normal human man with incredible talents and strengths that he developed entirely
on his own, in the interest of revenge.
Batman made his first appearance in Detective Comics, issue number 27 in 1939 and his character
quickly swept the nation.
Soon, he had his own quarterly comic line, and soon after that the comic began being
published bimonthly, then eventually monthly, as fans just could not get enough of him.
As his popularity grew, so did the amount of details readers were given about his tragic
backstory.
As most people know, Bruce Wayne lost his parents as a child, and this inspired him
to take up the mantle of Batman as an adult.
But what happened in the meantime to mold him into the man he came to be?
Let's take a closer look at his origin story and find out.
Bruce Wayne's story begins when he is eight years old.
He and his parents, Thomas and Martha Wayne, are returning from a trip to the movies when
they take a different path home than usual, and end up in what would later be called Crime
Alley.
Thomas Wayne is a wealthy man, a philanthropist with his own corporation called Wayne Enterprises.
He and his wife are not the type of people one would normally find in that low-income,
crime-ridden part of town, and so they quickly catch the eye of a thug named Joe Chill.
Joe Chill spots Martha's pearl necklace, and advances on her with a gun.
Like any devoted husband would do, Thomas steps in front of her to shield her, and Chill
shoots him.
Martha screams, and Chill shoots her as well, saying that that will quote "shut her up."
Then he runs away, and young Bruce is left alone with the bodies of his parents, orphaned
in the span of just a few moments.
Arrangements are made for Bruce to stay in his own home, with Alfred Pennyworth the butler
as his caretaker and guardian.
He inherits the massive family fortune, as well as the ownership of Wayne Enterprises,
but this all felt hollow to him.
As eight year old Bruce Wayne stood at the gravesite of his parents, he swore to them
that they would be avenged, and that he would be the one to avenge them.
Although he was only a child, the prospect of getting revenge for his parents' murders
never left his mind.
He could never find happiness, only purpose.
At the tender age of fourteen, young Bruce set out on a twelve-year trip that would take
him around the world.
This was no pleasure trip, though, nor was it an escape.
What it was was more like a research mission.
Bruce sought out experts in every field from academics to hand to hand combat and began
to train himself mentally and physically.
He went to several European colleges to become as smart as he could, and he trained with
masters of stealth and various fighting styles to become as physically agile and strong as
he could.
He learned hunting, fighting, and even healing, and when he finally returned to Gotham City,
he was ready to fulfil his destiny.
Or so he thought.
Bruce became a plainclothes vigilante, fighting crime in Gotham by night, but this still wasn't
right.
He still wasn't satisfied.
He believed that villains were quote "a cowardly and superstitious lot," so he knew
that they would never be afraid enough of someone who was just a man – regardless
of how incredible his fighting skills were.
He needed something more, something more frightening, some sort of gimmick that would terrify any
criminal that even considered committing a crime in his hometown.
For a while, he was stymied.
He couldn't come up with any way to make himself any more intimidating than he already
was.
Then, one night while he was brooding in his father's study, a bat crashed through the
window.
Bruce had been afraid of bats since he was a child, and this seemed to him to be a sign.
He would take the thing that scared him and embrace it, and he would use it to scare others,
and to avenge his parents' deaths.
Since money was no object, Bruce used the most advanced technology available to create
a bat-inspired costume for himself, along with dozens of high-tech gadgets and weapons.
He then took all of his brooding energy and anger and put it into a new identity, one
that would enable him to fight crime in the city by night as he maintained his status
as a billionaire playboy philanthropist by day.
At that moment, he embraced his destiny and became Batman.
As both Batman and Bruce Wayne, it was Bruce's goal to completely eradicate crime from Gotham
City.
This seems like an impossible goal, as Gotham is a city full of crime and foul deeds, but
this didn't stop him.
Even now, almost eighty years after he was created, Batman is still fighting that crime.
It is the one thing that sustains him, his only reason for living.
He rarely has romantic attachments due to the fact that he can only really focus on
this one goal (despite the fact that he dated one of his nemeses, Catwoman, and eventually
has a child with Talia al Ghul, as you will know from our video on Damian Wayne), and
the only real personal relationships he maintains are with Alfred, his butler, guardian, and
friend, and Dick Greyson, his original sidekick known as Robin.
Bruce is completely consumed by the desire to rid Gotham of evil, and this means that
he will never really be satisfied, or be able to settle down.
He is a dark, brooding character, and although he was lightened up for a while in the 1960s
due to the campy Batman tv show, he always returns to those dark, brooding roots.
Eventually, though, his desire to stop crime spreads out from the borders of Gotham City,
and he becomes a founding member of the Justice League, uniting heroes of all types to fight
together against evil.
He founds several other superhero groups as well, but he is best known for working alone
or with Robin, who is perhaps one of the few people who can relate to him, due to having
lost his own parents as a child as well.
Unlike most other superheroes out there, Batman has no supernatural powers or strengths.
He is just a man on a mission to right a wrong, and to save the city he calls home.
In a way, this makes him even more powerful than Superman, Wonder Woman, and his other
contemporaries, because aside from his wealth, Bruce Wayne doesn't start out with anything
other than what the rest of us have.
But he uses these things to become better than what he was, and to right terrible wrongs,
which is something that Batman fans can all take inspiration from, and the reason why
he is still such a popular character after all these years.
