Bruce Wayne

Bruce Wayne is born to Thomas and Martha Wayne, owners of Wayne Enterprises. After Bruce Wayne's parents are killed by a mugger, he inherits his family's company and devotes himself to fighting crime. To this end, he uses his vast family fortune to travel the world and received the finest training from multiple sources. After returning to Gotham City, he fashions himself as Batman. In this guise, he fights crime and injustice for many years. Along the way he fights a colorful group of rogues including his greatest adversary, the Joker and also trains a number of parters to assist him in his crusade against evil. Bruce was so traumatized by Barbara being shot by the Joker that he retired his identity as Batman. Bruce went away from New Gotham to an undisclosed location. While he had retired from crimefighting, he still provided the nessecary resources to Barbara so she could continue the fight. He shifted his focus to running Wayne Enterprises and continuing charitable work. Wayne Enterprises comes to be worth billions. He left his loyal butler Alfred in charge of watching over Helena as well as maintaining Wayne Manor. Bruce's former protégé Barbara Gordon likewise kept vigil over Helena as well as continuing to fight crime in his stead as Oracle. Barbara trained her until she was ready to work alongside her under the guise of the Huntress. While they never met, Bruce always kept in contact with Alfred concerning his Helena's activities. In their last known conversation with each other Alfred assured his former employer that Helena was doing "just fine".
