What's hidden behind the mask:
Personality: Batman has a strict by the book personality. He rarely smiles and keeps a level head in nearly every situation. Despite this, he is not above showing kindness, as he raised Robin like his son.
His role and personality as a mentor to the JL shows him to be a very stern general and taskmaster, yet surprisingly, understanding authority figure. He is quick to issue orders and expects them to be followed with no questions asked, but he does listen and at times even accept the opinions of younger heroes. His natural commanding presence and intimidating personality commands respect from the JL, but he rarely, if ever, abuses or lords his authority unfairly over them. In fact, even when the team makes mistakes on their missions, he makes certain to still praise them on what they did right, as well as educate them on what they didn't.
Batman also seems to take a personal interest in the young heroes beyond their work as covert agents for the Justice League. He is incredibly serious and assertive, traits often displayed when he takes command on missions, and when with the JL.
History: As a child, billionaire Bruce Wayne watched helplessly as his parents Thomas and Martha were shot and killed by a petty mugger named Joe Chill. Upon witnessing their deaths, the young Wayne took an oath of vengeance against crime so that no one else would have to suffer the tragedy that he had.
Wayne spent years venturing the world, learning many forms of combat and training himself to physical and intellectual perfection. Upon his return to Gotham, Wayne delved into crime-fighting, with disastrous results. As the injured young man sat alone in his study dwelling upon his dilemma and the fact that criminals are a "cowardly, superstitious lot", he figured that the best way to get to them was through sheer terror. At that moment, as if a sign from God, a huge bat flew in through his study window.
This bat provided Bruce with the inspiration he had been searching for. He donned a costume complete with a long, black cape and a cowl with huge, pointed ears and became the creature the criminals of Gotham would now know and fear: The Dark Knight... Batman.
In early years. Batman's career as a vigilante initially earns him the ire of the police. Wayne takes in an orphaned circus acrobat named Dick Grayson, who becomes his sidekick Robin. Batman also becomes a founding member of the Justice Society of America, although he, like Superman, is an honorary member and thus only participates occasionally. Batman's relationship with the law thaws quickly, and he is made an honorary member of Gotham City's police department. During this time, butler Alfred arrives at Wayne Manor and after deducing the Dynamic Duo's secret identities joins their service.
Following the Infinite Crisis, Bruce Wayne chose to step out of the superhero spotlight and go on a year long trip to rediscover himself as Batman. Alongside Dick Grayson (Robin/Nightwing) and Tim Drake (modern Robin) they traveled to Asia in preparation for advanced training. While there, Wayne faced more of the demonic thoughts and situations that plagued him over the past few years as the Batman. Through trial and tribulation, Bruce Wayne finally stepped out of the shadows and became Batman once again.
Upon his return to Gotham City, Jim Gordon returned to the mantle of the city's Police Commissioner. Meanwhile, District Attorney Harvey Dent served as the crime-fighting hero of the city. Batman's return caused Dent to feel unneeded as a hero, and as his perceptions of justice became distorted, he soon turned to a criminal career as Two-Face.
As Bruce learned how to be Batman in Asia, he returned to Gotham and had to relearn how to be Bruce Wayne. During his "training" on becoming "BRUCE WAYNE BOY MILLIONAIRE" he was astonished to learn that he had a son, Damien. Mothered by his arch rival's daughter Talia Al'Gul, Damien resembled the appearance of Bruce, but had his grandfather's inner demons. Bruce accepted Damien into his life and tried to train him in the light side of heroism, but this was quickly cut short when jealousy overtook the young boy and he struck down Tim Drake (who now was Bruce's legally adoptive son). Damien returned to his mother and the League of Assassins, only to have Batman defeat them once again, causing the possible deaths of both Damien and Talia.
Another daring confrontation came when the magician Zatanna came to Batman for help following the death of a former assistant. Batman aided in stopping the murders, revealing that the magician responsible for the staged deaths was the Joker. After Zatanna was shot in the throat and almost died Batman had the decency, in his own way, to forgive Zatanna for her actions that caused her to mind shift Batman's memories.
Following these events, Batman reunited with Superman and Wonder Woman in the efforts to reform the Justice League, alongside such heroes as Red Arrow, Black Canary, Red Tornado, Green Lantern, Vixen, Flash, Geoforce, Black Lightning, and Hawkgirl. They have since reinstated the team and currently have the obligation of protecting the world once again.
Final Crisis and Batman Inc.
During the events in Final Crisis, Batman is seemingly killed by the alien villain known as DarkSeid. After attempts by other characters to resurrect him, Batman is pronounced dead. Following this event, Dick Grayson takes up the mantle of Batman and promotes Damian Wayne (the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia Al Ghul) to Robin. Later it is discovered that Bruce Wayne is not dead, but has been sent back to prehistoric time, where he must travel all the way back to the present day. Bruce Wayne returns and reclaims his title as Batman. However, he allows Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne to remain as Gotham City's Dynamic Duo, as he travels abroad to train new "Batmen" for his newly launched branch of Wayne Enterprises: Batman Inc.

In Gotham, it was a city that used to be full of criminals, creating mayhem, taking everything from people. There was no boundaries, no rules when it came to the likes of The Joker, Two-Face, The Penguim, and so forth but who was the one hero that can put them back where they belong behind bars? You guessed it....The Batman. Every night when the Bat Signal came up, Batman would always be there to greet Commissioner Gordon of the GPD, other detectives and police. Gordon would always tell Batman what happened. If it was something that not even the commissioner could do, Batman was the only hope and in the end, The Dark Knight got the job done. But who is Batman? Who's the man behind the mask? Only one person...
Bruce Wayne. Billionaire, genus, playboy, and leader of Gotham's tomorrow. He has had so much success in his life but also heartbreak. At a very young age, Bruce experienced the death of his parents. It was one night after Bruce, Martha and Thomas were coming out of a movie theater and out of nowhere this man came in with a gun, threatening them. Thomas tried his best to defend his family but it was no good and he was shot. The man with a gun killed Martha in cold blood before he ran away. Bruce just stood there, frightened and scared, but there's nothing he could do. It was over and his parents were gone. Once everything was over, Bruce went to bed but he prayed and promised that one day, he would rid Gotham of all criminals...that justice will prevail.
Wayne sat in his office of The Wayne Manor and looked out the window seeing the darkness covered the skies. It was night like these that he wished he could stay in and forget about everything but that could not happen. If he did, what's the consequences? Oh yes, someone in danger or even worst, some kind of twisted attack would unleash itself on the innocents of Gotham. Were there any innocents in Gotham? Maybe and maybe not. No one in this world was ever perfect and neither is Bruce. Even The Batman had his flaws from time to time but it did not stop him from finishing his job. He showed no emotion, no sign of weakness, no fear of death.
Suddenly Bruce noticed a light in the sky as he looked closer..seeing The Bat Signal. Bruce quickly left the office and went straight to the living room of The Wayne Manor...finding the piano. Pressing the keys, the piano moved out of it's way revealing an elevator. Bruce stepped inside and pressed a button as the elevator went down while the piano went back to it's original place. Minutes later, Bruce arrived as the elevator doors opened, revealing an underground bat cave. Bruce walked up to seeing an attire he wore as it engulfed him and he's no longer Bruce Wayne, no longer the billionaire playboy that everyone talks about. He is the hero that people talk about, the hero that strikes fear into every criminal, The Batman.
Batman takes off and leaves The Bat Cave of The Wayne Manor in his Bat mobile, awaiting new challenges
