The Dark Knight

10:47 PM, gun shots were fired in a dark alley...

A family went out from a theater, a kid brimming with zeal and joy from the film closely played with his parents, they watched him full of hope and love.

As they entered an alley, a man with a revolver approached them asking for valuables, somewhat hesistant, the father gave his, but the deliquent was not sufficed, he grabbed the woman's pearls and with a split second...gun shots were fired. The mugger run in fear leaving a child with tears of grief and anger.

Dr. Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne died on the spot, leaving the young child in the care of Dr. Leslie Thompkins and the Wayne's bulter Alred Pennyworth. The child was known as Bruce Wayne sole heir to Wayne Industries.

Over the years, he has observed Gotham City, it's residents and the unrelenting crime that it spawned from it's small time thieves to mob bosses who rule parts of the city. Even cops are so corrupted that they are given authority to some of the city's crime activities including drug trafficking. Stricken by frustration and desperation, he started to embark himself to save the rotting city.

For several years he has trained from different lands, mastering all the various forms of martial arts, man hunting, detective work and all known weaponry and gadgets that he can avail with his vast financial resources. Bruce Wayne became an expert in chemistry, forensics, psychology and other fields in science.

He came back...

Learning from what his father told him "Criminals are a superstitious, cowardly lot", he provided the last piece of the statement, "I shall become a bat".

Striking fear to the crime underworld, corrupted officials, thieves, gangs of Gotham, he swore to protect and uphold justice in this city who came to know him only as an urban legend.

The Dark Knight...Batman.
