Bruce Wayne é um menino de oito anos de idade, filho do milionário e candidato a prefeito de Gotham City Dr. Thomas Wayne, e Martha Arkham-Wayne. Após receber ameaças de morte, Thomas chama seu amigo, Alfred Pennyworth, para chefiar a segurança da Mansão Wayne. Recusando as recomendações de Alfred, o casal Wayne leva o filho ao cinema e é morto num beco escuro. Bruce fica sob a guarda de Alfred. Quando cresce, Bruce desconfia de que o prefeito,Oswald Cobblepot, tenha sido o mandante do crime. Usando as técnicas de luta e acrobacia que aprendera com Alfred, veste um disfarce de morcego e invade uma festa de seu inimigo atrás de provas que lhe incriminassem. Com isso, entra em choque com a polícia corrupta da cidade e o relutante detetive James Gordon, que não investiga os crimes do prefeito por temer ameaças contra a filha, a bibliotecária Barbara Gordon.
