Batman is the secret identity and alters the ego of billionaire industrialistBruce Wayne. The fictional superhero introduced by DC Comics in 1939 has become one of the most iconic and recognized superheroes. Unlike most other superheroes such as Superman, Spiderman, or the X-Men, Batman does not possess any supernatural or superhuman powers. His main skills include his detective skills, technology, advanced weapons, intellect, and an obsessive pursuit of Justice.

Although Batman’s story has varied slightly over time, the theme of his parent's death and his resulting pursuit of justice has remained the same. Bruce Wayne was the son of billionaires and philanthropists who was murdered during a robbery. The witnessing of his parent’s murder as a child leads him to become Batman. Wayne swears to avenge his parent’s death by ridding the city of evil and begins training, both physically and intellectually. His studies and skills include his intellect, detective skills, martial arts, conditioning, escapology, and chemistry.

The character Batman has made the jump from comic books to other world media and popular culture including a newspaper comic strip, books, radio dramas, animated television series, television movies, and multiple major motion pictures, including Tim Burton’s 1989 adaptation of Batman starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Batman has also appeared in multiple video gamesboard gamestoys, and even as a stunt show and ride at Six Flags theme parks.
