Back in his mansion, Bruce saw a Bat cross the window and this gave him the inspiration that he would have to put fear in the criminals, pretending to be a supernatural being, like a BatMan. So Bruce excavated the cave below his mansion, creating his secret headquarters, the bat-cave; diverted money and technology from their companies and fortune to set up an arsenal of weapons and vehicles. He created his Bat uniform, acting as a night watchman with a supernatural and demonic appearance, mixed with darkness.
