Batman

In the original version of the story and the vast majority of retellings, Batman's secret identity is Bruce Wayne, an American millionaire (later billionaire) playboy, industrialist, and philanthropist. Having witnessed the murder of his parents as a child, he swore revenge on crime, an oath tempered with the greater ideal of justice. Wayne trains himself both physically and intellectually and dons a bat-themed costume in order to fight crime.[2] Batman operates in the fictional American Gotham City, assisted by various supporting characters including his crime-fighting partner, Robin. He fights an assortment of villains such as the Joker and Catwoman, influenced by the characters' roots in film and pulp magazines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman
