Origin
Bruce Wayne's parents, Dr. Thomas and Martha Wayne, wealthy socialites, are murdered in front of him as a child.

Supporting cast
Alfred Pennyworth, his loyal butler and guardian, provides unwavering support.
Robin (multiple iterations), his trusted sidekick, adds a youthful dynamic and, in earlier stories, lightened the tone of the comics.
