Batman

Billionaire philanthropist Thomas Wayne, his wife Martha, and their 8-year-old son Bruce Wayne were leaving a movie theater one night when they headed toward Park Row. Suddenly, a gun-toting thug named Joe Chill approached them from the shadows to steal the pearl necklace Martha was wearing. With Bruce watching, Chill shot and killed Thomas Wayne in cold blood when he protected his wife, and then Martha was also killed as she screamed for help. Bruce was severely traumatized by the death of his parents. He would never be the same again. After being raised by his wise and loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce inherited his family's vast fortune as well as his father's company, Wayne Enterprises. One night, standing at his parents' graves, Bruce swore a solemn oath to them to fight crime in all its forms, taking justice into his own hands.

Despite financial security, happiness eluded Bruce. Bruce was comforted by Dr. Leslie Thompkins, who helped him grieve his parents and find purpose in life. At age fourteen, Bruce began a twelve-year journey around the world in search of experts in many fields of combat, training himself mentally and physically. Academically, he studied at Cambridge (England), the Sorbonne in France, and other famous European universities. A Frenchman named Henri Ducard taught him how to hunt and stalk a person, a ninja named Kirigi taught him stealth, an African bushman trained him in the art of hunting, and monks in Nepal taught him healing.

Bruce Wayne was the son of Thomas Wayne and his wife, Martha Wayne. His parents were billionaire philanthropists belonging to Gotham City's high society. Bruce was raised in Wayne Manor and experienced a privileged life until one fateful night, while Bruce and his parents were returning from the movies, they were suddenly confronted by a small-time thief named Joe Chill. At first, Chill demanded Martha's jewelry, but ended up turning on Thomas. After the death of his parents, Bruce vowed to rid Gotham of evil. He began intense physical and mental training and specialized in many skills including martial arts, criminology, and escape engineering.
Upon completing his training, Bruce realized that his skills alone were not enough; he needed to instill fear in criminals. That's when a bat flew through the window, scaring Bruce. Inspired by his old fear, Bruce decided to use the bat as a symbol and become Batman. Later, Batman witnessed the deaths of the Flying Graysons, circus acrobats who were killed by mobsters after the circus owner refused to pay the mob "protection money." Bruce adopted young Dick Grayson as his protégé and trained him to be his sidekick, Robin. Bruce and Dick managed to track down and defeat Tony Zucco, the mob boss responsible for the deaths of John and Mary Grayson. It was never stated why Bruce adopted Dick, but perhaps it was because Dick lost his parents at a young age, just like Bruce. Together, the "Dynamic Duo" faced off against many enemies, including The Riddler, The Scarecrow, The Penguin, and The Joker.

Batman eventually becomes one of the founding members of the Justice Society of America; meanwhile, he continued to work with the Gotham City Police Department in fighting crime. Later, Alfred Pennyworth is introduced and serves as his butler. Alfred eventually learns the identity of the Dynamic Duo and helps them keep their true identities safe. Vicki Vale, Bruce's love interest, debuted in the 1940s with one of the more

Batman's presence in Gotham City spawned a new generation of criminals, no longer the simple thugs and gangsters involved in Gotham's organized crime, with more dynamic personalities. The first person to be inspired by him was Catwoman, a dangerous seductress who used his style and methods for her own ends. His next challenge was Dr. Hugo Strange, a mad scientist who had created an army of monstrous men to do his bidding. Batman met his greatest nemesis, the Joker, a brilliant serial killer who dressed like a clown and murdered people uncontrollably. He had been exposed to chemicals in an accident that drove him completely insane, and he swore revenge on Gotham for creating him. This confrontation led to the creation of the Bat-Signal, a giant spotlight that is displayed in the sky whenever there is danger and Batman is needed. There would be many more villains that would begin to appear within this time. The Scarecrow was an outcast who developed techniques to strike terror into the hearts of his victims for his own pleasure. The Riddler was another deranged genius who felt a psychological compulsion to prove his intellectual superiority, and constructed elaborate crimes while giving away clues that dared law enforcement to catch him. He then met Poison Ivy, who attempted to destroy the city when she developed an advanced connection with plant life that led her to wage a personal war against humanity. He also met the psychotic Mister Freeze who used dangerous experimental technology to take revenge on society when his wife died. There also appeared another crime boss called the Penguin, who acted as an eccentric criminal mastermind without any crippling mental illness other than the desire to prove his worth. Many of these villains were kept in Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

Bruce is a dark and shadowy hero with a personal vendetta against criminals. Traumatized by the death of his parents, Batman has sworn to rid Gotham of the criminal elements that drove his parents away from him. Due to his personal trauma, Bruce is very paranoid and obsessive, and often makes it difficult for him to trust anyone other than Alfred, the Robins, or Batgirl. Batman displays a deep aversion to weapons.
Despite this, Batman has shown to have a great love for humanity, which was instilled in him by his parents. His father was a doctor, while his mother was a woman who led a crusade against child abuse. In fact, Batman's oath of vengeance is tempered by the higher ideal of justice. He refrains from killing, as he feels that he would do no better than the criminals he fights. He is also a very prominent member of the Justice League and the founder of the Outsiders. However, even though he would never go so far as to take a life, the most well-known aspect of Bruce's personality as Batman and the reason he is feared in the criminal world is a very particular one: Batman, while he does not actually kill anyone, is predisposed and determined to do harm; he can even resort to physical torture if necessary to terrorize his enemies and gain information.

To protect his secret identity, Batman has constructed a false persona that he can use in his civilian life. To the world at large, Bruce Wayne is a self-centered, irresponsible playboy and philanthropist. Only his closest allies know that this attitude is just an act.

Batman's core traits are summed up as "physical prowess, deductive abilities, and obsession." Most of the basic characteristics of the comics have varied due to the different interpretations that have been given to the character. This is exemplified by Dennis O'Neil's perception, where he notes the following: "Julie Schwartz created her own Batman in the two DC Comics series

Batman's costume incorporates the shape of a bat to instill in criminals Bruce's most private fear: bats.

His features change frequently across the stories and media in which the character is introduced, although the most characteristic elements remain constant: a scalloped cape, a mask that covers most of the face and has a pair of bat-shaped ears, the emblem of this stylized animal on the chest, and the multi-purpose belt.

Typically, the costume color scheme is blue and gray, which came about because of the way a comic book is illustrated. Originally, Finger and Kane conceived Batman with only a cape, a black mask and a gray suit, however, due to conventionality in the use of colors, they decided to implement a combination of blue and black. This has been considered by Larry Ford, in his work Place, Power, Situation, and Spectacle: A Geography of Film, as a reversal of the conventional symbolism around the color codes, an aspect that associates the

"bad boys" in dark colors. Batman's gloves feature three festoons protruding from long gauntlet-like sleeves, although they were originally short, plain gloves without the aforementioned festoons.

A yellow ellipse around the Bat-logo on the character's chest was added in 1964, becoming his traditional symbol ever since, comparable to the yellow and red "S" symbol used by Superman. The character's overall appearance, particularly the length of his ears and cape, varies greatly depending on the artist involved; Dennis O'Neil commented on this: "You could say that if Batman has two hundred suits stored away in the Batcave, they don't have to look exactly the same [...] Everybody loves drawing Batman, just as everybody wants to put their own personal spin on him."

There are a lot of superheroes without superpowers, but out of all of them the character of Batman is based on "his own scientific knowledge, detective skills, and athletic ability". In the comics, Batman is regarded as one of the world's greatest detectives. During Grant Morrison's first Justice League story, Superman describes Batman as "the most dangerous man on the planet", capable of defeating a team of superpowered aliens by himself to rescue his imprisoned comrades. He is also a master of disguise, often gathering information under the identity of Matches Malone, a notorious gangster. Through intense training, a special diet, and feedback treatments, Batman represents the pinnacle of human physical strength. His physical attributes surpass that of any Olympic-level athlete. His strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and coordination make him an outstanding human being.

Indomitable Will: He has no known superhuman powers, but has extreme "willpower", often having been his escape from death on many occasions.
Intimidation: It is widely known that Batman has the ability to instill fear in others, even people who know him are intimidated by him. Even those who are not afraid (like Superman) are afraid of Batman.
Expert Interrogator: Batman is skilled in the use of interrogation techniques, employing anything from law enforcement methods to outright torture.
Physical Abilities: Through intense training, a special diet, and feedback treatments, Batman represents the pinnacle of human physical strength. His physical attributes surpass that of any Olympic-level athlete. Batman began his physical and mental conditioning when he was 11 and then followed it up with intense physical training and weightlifting by age 12. He had mastered complete control of his body by the time he was only 18. Wayne completely abstains from drinking alcohol, even though he presents Bruce Wayne, his alter ego, as an alcoholic (he created the illusion by drinking ginger beer

Batman has no powers. He has a huge fortune, a whole research department to himself, and a lot of technology at his disposal. He can develop whatever he needs without any problem.

This is also possible in the films, and has served in all of them to present the viewer with a display of imagination and overwhelming special effects. From the creation of the impressive vehicles to the realization of the deadly weapons, all of them have been an important part of the Batman film saga.

It would be almost impossible to list all the tools he has developed and used in all his appearances. This list includes some of the most iconic ones of the bat hero:

Vehicles: The Batmobile, the Batcycle or the Batplane are some of the most used by him and his allies.
Combat armor: It has a belt to carry tools. Some of them are:
Batarang: iconic, very stealthy bat-shaped device used to hit and incapacitate enemies.
Batclaw: Launches a hook at high speeds that, after hitting and adhering to a surface, is quickly picked up and allows Batman to propel himself.
Smoke bombs: used to escape a disadvantaged scenario and hide, in order to escape or blind enemies. There are variants of bombs with sleeping gas, tear gas and even explosives.
Batmobile Remote Control: A device that allows the Batmobile to be directed to where Batman is. It can also be driven with said device
Batbelt: Golden belt in which he keeps all the batgadgets
Bataser: small contact taser that he uses to paralyze his enemies
Batescuffs: regular handcuffs with extra strong chains
Shark Repellent: An object used in the Adam West series, it contains pheromones that scare away sharks. It made a brief appearance in Batman: The Lego Movie
The Batcave: Batman's lair and refuge when not in operation. Typically located beneath Wayne Manor. It contains a computer (called the Batcomputer) with which he conducts research and analyzes data.

Dick Grayson was a circus acrobat from a prestigious family of trapeze artists who, when he was very young, saw his parents die at the hands of mobster Anthony Zucco and was adopted by Bruce Wayne. Later, after discovering Batman's identity, he was trained by him to become the first Robin and fight crime.

Dick Grayson was a twelve-year-old boy who lived in an acrobatic circus, being the youngest of the Flying Graysons. Dick joined his parents' act at a very young age, having been trained in the art of acrobatics since birth. Before a performance in Gotham City, in which the Graysons' act was the main attraction, they were asked to pose for a photo with Jack Drake and his family, including their young son.

While on tour in Gotham City, he overheard Tony Zucco, a notorious and feared crime lord, threatening the circus owner with a bribe in exchange for protection. The owner refused, and the next night Dick watched in horror as his parents' wire snapped overhead, sending them hurtling to their deaths in full view of Gotham's elite, including Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake.

Shortly after the tragedy, Bruce Wayne decided to adopt Dick, but the boy refused as he did not want to replace his late father with the billionaire. Frustrated by the lack of attention from his new guardian and the mystery surrounding his parents' deaths, Dick snuck out of Wayne Manor one night to solve the crime on his own (that night he only encountered Batman, who was also investigating the murder). After awakening in the Batcave, he is shocked to learn that Bruce is really the Batman. Together they succeed in revealing Zucco's complicity in the murder, but at that moment the gangster dies of a heart attack. Seeing a reflection of himself in Dick, Batman made the young orphan the offer that would change his life, the chance to become his partner in crime-fighting. Dick chose the name Robin, as it was the nickname his mother gave him, and began his training.

Alfred Pennyworth is Bruce Wayne's butler and father figure. Alfred raised Bruce (and later Dick Grayson) after the death of Bruce's parents. He is a former British Secret Service agent, where he excelled as a skilled surgeon, a skill that serves the Batman Family well.

Alfred's history was changed shortly after the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Alfred's real name was Alfred Beagle, but during his days as an agent in the British Intelligence Service he changed it to Alfred Pennyworth. He later left the government and became an actor and makeup artist. His mother approved of his decision to become an actor, however his father wanted him to continue the Pennyworth tradition of becoming a butler. Finally, when Alfred's father was about to die he swore to him that he would continue the family tradition. Alfred left England to serve the Wayne family. Upon arriving at the mansion, he was welcomed by Thomas Wayne and as Alfred introduced himself, it was already obvious that young Bruce admired him. Bruce offered to carry his bags despite them being too heavy for him.

Some time later, Alfred helped young Bruce Wayne when he began to be bullied by a bully, teaching him to think with his head instead of his fists. Alfred was on the verge of leaving the manor, but around that time the Waynes were killed and he decided to stay. Eventually Alfred and Dr. Leslie Tompkins raised young Bruce Wayne. Years later, Bruce decided to travel abroad and Alfred became the owner of Wayne Manor. During that time he had a brief affair with Dr. Leslie Tompkins. One night after Bruce's return, when he first went out to fight at night, Alfred was fast asleep. Hearing a sound, he woke up to find a trail of blood. Following it he found Bruce bleeding on a chair and a bat in the room. Alfred treated Bruce's wounds and then informed him that he was leaving Wayne Manor.

One night before Alfred left, some of Bruce's friends came to visit him. However, Bruce was already gone, dressed as Batman. Bruce's

Early life
No one knows who the Joker really is. Little can be confirmed regarding his previous life before he became a criminal. Despite his capture, no traces of his fingerprints, dental records, or DNA matches could be found in the Gotham City Police Department's database.

The Joker's own testimony, while usually very truthful when it comes to carrying out threats, seems at times contradictory; knowing that he sometimes lies when describing past events in his life. One of his anecdotes told of his father being extremely abusive and an alcoholic, stating that after attacking his mother with a knife, he used it on him, creating the smile-shaped scars. If true, it could largely explain his mental imbalance and psychopathic tendency.

This story seems to be a little less credible, as he later tells a different anecdote. In it he tells of having a wife, and being overcome with grief, he had to make the cuts. In a desperate effort to ensure that his wife would not worry about the damage to his appearance, the future Joker would inflict the same method on himself. However, his disturbing appearance caused his wife to leave him, damaging his psyche.

Negotiating with the mafia
After Batman teams up with Jim Gordon, the latter reveals that they are on the trail of a bank robber with a certain theatrical appearance, and the superhero assures him that he will help him in his work.

Normal Joker
The Joker without his makeup.

A few months later, he forms a gang to carry out the robbery of the Gotham National Bank. His plan is to trick all his henchmen into killing each other, leaving him as the only survivor with the money. This money turns out to be from the Mafia, which irritates the owners.

One of the city's bosses, Sal Maroni, comments on the Joker's recent act, meeting with other criminals with the intention of stopping him. Without taking him too seriously, they decide to eliminate this threat, since they do not see him as having enough potential to confront them

Harvey's father, Christopher Dent, was a violent man whose actions were governed by a cruelty that only made Dent's disorder worse.

Thus, his father would toss a coin and tell his son that if it came up heads, he would hit him; and if it came up tails, he would not. What old Dent never told Harvey was that the coin he was tossing was false and had two sides, so Harvey endured his father's beatings again and again.

Despite his father's abuse, Dent grew up with a high regard for the notions of justice and fairness. He put the shadows of his past to rest in absolute devotion to law and order. He advanced quickly through his law school career, easily making his way into the bar and becoming a successful attorney. He had become a popular public figure thanks to his relentless activity as a prosecutor. He was often in the news and was nicknamed "Apollo" by the media for his good looks. He eventually married the lovely Gilda and became the youngest District Attorney Gotham City had ever had, at the age of 26. But soon after, he came across a case that would cause sinister changes for him.

The murder spree was a series of murders that targeted Gotham's elderly. Dr. Rudolph Klemper was arrested and charged with the crimes, and Dent was put on trial as the prosecutor. The evidence was only circumstantial, but Dent knew that Klemper was the killer, but he could not find any evidence to incriminate him, so he was released. Klemper mocked Dent, revealing that he had a split personality. As a doctor, Klemper was a calm, cool, and collected man on the stand; and when he committed the murders, he did so under his "Little Rudy" persona. Klemper told Dent that he saw the same thing happening to him, and encouraged him to unleash his other side. Dent knew that the doctor's words held a shocking truth, and was so shocked that he heeded Klemper's advice, blowing up his house.

Dent continued to administer law and order, trying to stay true to his mantra. He struck up a friendly relat

Overprotection
Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot had a very unhappy childhood. His widowed mother spoiled and overprotected him to the point of driving him mad. One of the facets of that overprotection, for example, was making sure that little Oswald always carried an umbrella with him in case it rained, no matter how sunny the day was. The reason for this was that his father had died of pneumonia after a downpour caught him unawares and without any protection.

His time at school was not easy either. He was short, fat, walked like a duck and had a sharp nose, which earned him the nickname Penguin. An insult that would end up following Oswald wherever he went.

The boy found solace in only one place, the Cobblepot Aviary, an exotic bird store that was the family business. With no other children to consider friends, Oswald established a very special bond with the birds, who ended up becoming his confidants. Before long, he had an almost supernatural relationship with them; they never attacked him, and even seemed to obey his orders. Oswald also escaped with literature. He read voraciously, which allowed him to learn many things, and from there arose his great passion for Shakespeare.

Bullying
Among Oswald's schoolmates was a boy named Sharkey. One day, as he watched baby chicks hatch, Oswald's life changed forever. He noticed that the chicks were picking at the little one. Oswald saw the parallels to his own life. He realized that he was just like that tiny chick, and that the Sharkeys of the world would pick at him and pick on him for the rest of his life unless he changed.

Young Oswald decided to improve his physical form and study martial arts, putting the same interest in both as he put into books. He trained his small, chubby body until he was in perfect shape. He gained remarkable strength and surprising agility for his size. The next confrontation with Sharkey had a very different ending, as Oswald beat up his bully, but it was Sharkey who had the last laugh

The post-Crisis version of the character was introduced in 1987 with the story Batman Year One, written by Frank Miller. In this version, Gordon was transferred to Gotham City after spending more than fifteen years in Chicago. Gordon finds that his only ally against the corrupt government and the mob is a man of integrity who is willing to risk his life in the fight against injustice, Batman. This story also added that he was a Special Forces veteran skilled in hand-to-hand combat.

When Gordon needs to summon Batman, he uses the Bat-Signal, a specially modified projector with a bat symbol on it. Batman often silently disappears during his conversations with Gordon.
The miniseries "Gordon of Gotham" depicts Gordon's life twenty years before the current events of the DC Universe and ten years before he arrives in Gotham City in Batman Year One. It is revealed that Gordon, during his time in Chicago, had trouble with his wife conceiving a child while he was taking criminology classes at the university at night. During that time he clashes with other officers, after uncovering corruption within the force. Later, Gordon discovers evidence of fraud in municipal elections and brings down two of his fellow officers, leading the Chicago Commissioner to recommend him for a transfer to Gotham.

The Killing Joke
In the 1988 graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke, the Joker kidnaps Gordon after he shoots and paralyzes Barbara Gordon. He then locks Gordon completely naked in a cage at an amusement park, presenting him as his star attraction, while forcing him to look at enlarged photos of his naked, injured daughter, driving him insane and confirming the Joker's theory that even the sanest man can be driven insane by one bad day.

Batman eventually apprehends the Joker and rescues Gordon. Despite the intense trauma he has suffered, Gordon's sanity and code of ethics are intact. In the wake of his paralysis

Dr. Jonathan Crane, dubbing himself the Scarecrow for his criminal activities, is a supervillain and psychologist who uses a variety of drugs and psychological tactics to exploit the fears and phobias of his adversaries. He belongs to Batman's rogues gallery.

Psychologist by day and villain by night, behind his appearance of a simple average citizen hides a criminal mind that believes that the mind, regardless of the physical, is the main factor of defeat, taking advantage of fear, and especially its power to manipulate it, as its main weapon. He is the Batman villain who has appeared in the most films.

Su primer crimen involucra a un hombre de negocios llamado Frank Kendrick, quien es demandado por su anterior compañero, Paul Harold. Cuando Harold se rehúsa a cooperar y reunirse con él para escuchar sus demandas, el Espantapájaros lo mata y se vuelve una sensación de los medios. Bruce Wayne, quien es patrocinador y un fideicomisario de la Universidad, investigando el asunto como Batman, descubre el inquietante comportamiento de Crane y lo fuerza a renunciar a su cargo de profesor. Entonces, Crane habla con el dueño de una tienda, llamado Dodge, con la oferta de robar otros establecimientos e incrementar sus ventas. Batman y Robin descubren el plan e interrogan a Dodge. Entonces, el Espantapájaros intenta matarlo pero el dúo lo captura justo a tiempo. Es enviado a la Prisión del Estado de Gotham.

Dos años después, en Detective Comics Nº 73, el Espantapájaros escapa de la cárcel y forma una banda de criminales para hacer su trabajo. Mientras él lucha para robarle a un comerciante antigüedades de China, Batman y Robin aparecen para desmantelar el plan. Él y sus cómplices son enviados de vuelta a la prisión. Luego el Espantapájaros aparecería como un villano recurrente y miembro frecuente de la Banda de la Injusticia.

El Gas del Miedo

The Justice League of America (JLA), commonly referred to as the Justice League, is a superhero team when the world's seven greatest heroes united to repel an alien invasion by the Appelliax, who had infiltrated Earth. When the world's greatest heroes were unable to defeat this alien threat individually, Martian Manhunter, Flash (Barry Allen), Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Superman and Batman decided to work together as a team to defeat the Appelliax invasion. These heroes then decided to form the Justice League of America together. For many years, the heroes heralded this event as the one that led them to agree to join forces, to defeat similar threats.

Throughout series such as Infinite Crisis, Flashpoint, or in issues of the different Justice League series, different origins have been presented that differ from the first.

Bruce returned to Gotham City, where he became a vigilante. But for all his finely honed skills, he knew something was missing. Bruce wanted criminals to be "very superstitious and cowardly," and in order to rid his city of evil, he had to become such a terrifying symbol that he could strike fear into the hearts of criminals. One night, in his father's study, a large bat flew through the window. Bruce saw this as an omen and remembered his fear of bats as a child. He knew then that this was to be his symbol - the Bat would help him strike terror into the underworld of Gotham. Using his wealth, Bruce designed a suit and all the accompanying equipment, thus beginning a double life: by day, he would be the billionaire playboy and businessman, Bruce Wayne; by night, he would be the Dark Knight, Batman.

No man's land
The storyline "No Man's Land" took place after Gotham City was destroyed by an earthquake and cut off from outside help. Within Gotham, Gordon struggled to maintain order amidst the crime. Batman was absent for the first three months, and Gordon felt somewhat betrayed. He forged an uneasy alliance with Two-Face, but was later betrayed, kidnapped, and put on trial by Two-Face for breaking their alliance "legally." He managed to escape, and later reunited with Batman. In this confrontation, Gordon expressed his displeasure at leaving the city in ruins. Batman offered to prove his trust by revealing his secret identity, but Gordon refused to watch when Batman removed his mask. Over time, their relationship improved.

Gordon3
The death of his beloved
Gordon fell in love with and married his partner Sarah Essen. However, Essen could not understand why Gordon needed Batman so much, even arguing at times. Unfortunately, she is fatally shot by the Joker at the end of the story "No Man's Land". An enraged Gordon is able to restrain himself from killing the Joker, shooting him only in the knee. Not long afterward, Gordon shoots and kills a criminal seeking revenge for a previous arrest.

Withdrawal
Gordon retires from the police force after serving over 20 years. He remains in Gotham City, and occasionally enjoys nightly visits from Batman who comes to him for companionship and advice. Following the surgery that Barbara needed to save her life due to the Brainiac virus, Gordon visits his daughter in Metropolis. She revealed to him her current identity as Oracle, as well as her past as Batgirl. Gordon admits that he knew of her life as Batgirl, but is shocked by her career as a computer hacker, but is still very proud of her accomplishments.

To protect his secret identity, Batman has constructed a false persona that he can use in his civilian life. To the world at large, Bruce Wayne is a self-centered, irresponsible playboy and philanthropist. Only his closest allies know that this attitude is just an act.

Batman's core traits are summed up as "physical prowess, deductive abilities, and obsession." Most of the basic characteristics of the comics have varied due to the different interpretations that have been given to the character. This is exemplified by Dennis O'Neil's perception, where he notes the following: "Julie Schwartz created her own Batman in the two DC Comics series [Batman and Detective Comics], while Murray Boltinoff did his own version for The Brave and the Bold. Aside from the costume, the two versions had very little similarity to each other; Schwartz and Boltinoff never coordinated their work - nor did they ever intend to. Continuity simply wasn't a big deal back then."
A major element that defines Batman as a character is his origin. Bob Kane said that he and Bill Finger discussed the superhero's background, ultimately concluding, "There's nothing more traumatic than watching your parents die before your eyes." This experience led Bruce to become Batman, vowing to avenge his parents' deaths. Some agree that, even with the emergence of new plots with a certain narrative complexity, "his origins have held together all the divergent expressions," referring to each of the different interpretations and appearances the character has had since his creation. Likewise, this concept is the source of several of Batman's characteristic traits and attributes, which are manifested in his various adventures. He's a great hero!

Batman is often referred to as the “vigilante of Gotham City” in his stories. Frank Miller conceives him as a “Dionysian figure” as well as “a kind of anarchic force, charged with imposing order and justice on his own.” His bat-like costume retains his “dark and sinister”

First misdeeds
The Penguin began his criminal career with grace. He did not engage in street robberies or bank robberies, but instead opted for the theft of art treasures and precious stones. His first target was the Gotham Museum of Art, where he stole a pair of paintings worth a million dollars, and hid the oil paintings in the handle of his ever-present umbrella. He then took them to a mobster in Gotham City, with whom he shared the profits. The Penguin began planning crimes for that mobster and his gang, combining his intellect with the mobster's brute force. His hits reached a climax with the robbery of the Grand Columbia diamond. Shortly after, the mobster tried to eliminate the Penguin, as he feared that Oswald was acquiring too much power and influence within his gang. But the Penguin turned the tables, pulled out a gun hidden in his umbrella, shot the mob boss, and killed him. The Penguin already had his own band.

The Penguin's increasing criminal activities led to an inevitable conflict with Batman. From the beginning, Cobblepot lamented that, as marginal characters, they were destined to be enemies. On their first encounter, the Penguin gassed him with his umbrella, knocking him unconscious at the scene of the crime. This resulted in the Caped Crusader being implicated in the crime. Batman was rescued by Robin, and together they defeated the Penguin's gang, removing any shadow of suspicion from Batman. However, the Penguin managed to escape after a dramatic confrontation at a train station. The villain reappeared a few weeks later. He declared himself the leader of a camp of hobos who sneaked onto trains. Since most of the hobos were criminals on the run, the Penguin devised a plan to turn them in for a financial reward, then break them out of jail using his rigged umbrellas. The Penguin and the hobos would split the profits. Batman and Robin foiled this plan and anticipated Oswald's next move.

Tan pronto como ella fue aceptada por el doctor Arkham, se le pidió tratar al Joker. Gracias al interés que ella hizo en una investigación acerca de asesinos en serie, se le dio acceso completo al payaso criminal.

En su primera sesión juntos se presentó como la doctora Harleen Quinzel, pero hizo hincapié en que podía referirse a ella como Harley Quinn, en una referencia al papel del bufón medieval Arlequín (Harlequin en inglés). El Joker había permanecido bastante tiempo en silencio, pero de repente empezó a reír, y le preguntó si ella estaba intentando coquetear con él.

Cuando ella se acercó, él optó por estrangularla, pero vio en ella una mirada de amor en lugar del miedo o shock que había visto en sus anteriores doctores. La pareja tuvo un romance, y Quinn ayudó al Joker a escapar varias veces antes de que ella fuera descubierta. Su licencia médica se revocó, a pesar que ella justificaba que todas sus salidas pretendían ser terapéuticas.

Carrera criminal
Harley se escapó de Arkham para unirse al Joker durante el terremoto que ocurre en los hechos de la saga No Man's Land. Sin embargo, de vez en cuando se sentía maltratada y se acabó separando de él. Decidió convertirse en un jefe del crimen por su cuenta, y reunió una banda a la que hizo llamarse Los Quintetos. Después de un encuentro con Enigma durante un saqueo en la Mansión Wayne y algunos atracos fallidos, un miembro de los Quintetos decidió que era mejor eliminarla.

Se le puso precio a su cabeza, y muchos asesinos fueron atraídos para coger la recompensa. Incluso Killer Croc la atacó en su escondite secreto, pero ella logró evadirlo gracias a su conocimiento del lugar. El traidor se rebeló, y la hubiera matado de no ser por la intervención de Matches Malone.

Harley Quinn era una gimnasta destacada, realizaba piruetas y saltos extremos que la ayudaban en sus batallas. Era casi letal en batallas cuerpo a cuerpo; además, le encantaba usar armas y polvos tóxicos que utilizaba para debilitar a sus rivales. Incluso Batman hace referencia a Harley Quinn como una rival a evitar, ya que puede que no le consiguiera asesinar pero podría hacerle daño y retrasarte, dándole vuelta al plan preparado con sólo utilizar algunos minutos.

La doctora Pamela Lillian Isley era una botánica de Seattle, con grandes conocimientos acerca de las plantas. Sin embargo, el científico Jason Woodrue (alias el Hombre Florónico) experimentó con ella, inyectándole toxinas en la sangre para que hacerla inmune a cualquier tipo de venenos, virus y bacterias. Sin embargo, esto le dio otras habilidades. Woodrue escapó de las autoridades, abandonando a Pamela en el hospital durante seis meses. Enfurecida por la traición, Pamela sufrió violentos y bruscos cambios de humor. Después de que su novio tuviera un accidente de coche, Pamela abandonó sus estudios y dejó Seattle con destino a Gotham.

En Gotham cometió su primer delito: amenazó con liberar sus esporas mortales en el aire a menos que la ciudad aceptara sus demandas. Así se hizo conocida como Hiedra Venenosa, el apodo que se le dio en su momento. Batman, que había aparecido en Gotham el mismo año, frustró sus planes encerrándola en el Asilo Arkham.

Tras el terremoto que destruyó Gotham, Arkham y Blackgate, Hiedra rescató a Harley Quinn de morir entre los escombros y le inyectó una toxina que la hizo invulnerable a los venenos y toxinas, y que a la vez potenció su capacidad física, iniciando así una relación de amistad y cooperación.

Después del rescate de Harley, Hiedra Venenosa se instaló en el parque Robinson, convirtiéndolo en un terreno de frutales y acogiendo allí a los huérfanos por el cataclismo. Durante su estancia en el parque, es atacada por Cara de Barro, a quien logra derrotar. A pesar de sus intenciones pacíficas, fue expulsada de la ciudad, aun contando con el apoyo de Batman, que pretendía dejarla allí a cambio de que cuidara a los niños y proporcionara fruta a la ciudad.

Hiedra fue manipulada por Hush y El Acertijo durante los eventos de Batman: Hush, utilizando sus toxinas para controlar a Superman y hacer que ataque a Batman y Catwoman.

Selina Kyle era hija de Bryan y María Kyle, y nació en los suburbios de Gotham. Su padre era un hombre abusivo y borracho que siempre incomodaba a su mujer, María, una simple ama de casa. En su tiempo libre, Selina tomó clases de gimnasia, no sólo como una actividad extra-curricular, sino para evitar a veces la violencia doméstica en su hogar. Un día, cuando regresaba de la escuela, Selina encontró a su madre acostada en la bañera llena de sangre. Al parecer, María se había suicidado cortándose las venas con una cuchilla de afeitar. Un par de años más tarde, su padre Bryan murió por intoxicación con alcohol. Selina llamó a la policía pero en cuanto colgó el teléfono, empacó su maleta y huyó de su casa.

Selina no tenía hogar y se convirtió en una ladrona de poca monta que se robaba la comida de los supermercados. Ella fue sorprendida una vez y fue enviada a un hogar de menores (pero más tarde se escapó). Cuando Selina creció, se convirtió en prostituta, aunque a veces trabajaba de ladrona por la noche robando joyas y diamantes de los museos y las casas de los ricos. Una noche robó un tótem valioso de un museo, cuando de repente un ninja con capucha interrumpió su huida y le quitó el elemento. Selina siguió al ninja hasta un almacén, que resultó ser una academia de artes marciales secretas. Cuando fue descubierta, el ninja, conocido solamente como Kai, le dijo a su Sensei que era una intrusa y un ladrona y que debía ser castigada severamente. Sin embargo, después de ver sus reflejos rápidos, el Sensei cortésmente le pidió unirse a la academia y ella aceptó

Ella fue entrenada por el Maestro sin brazos en las artes marciales y por Wildcat en el boxeo y la lucha callejera. Ella sobresale en robos de baja y de alta tecnología y es la mejor ladrona de Gotham. Catwoman tiene una buena afinidad para los gatos. A menudo la ayudan de forma autom

Varias semanas habían pasado y las habilidades de lucha de Selina habían mejorado dramáticamente, pero la relación con Kai estaba lejos de ser agradable. Él despreciaba a Selina (que fue apodada "Nehko-Chan" en la academia) y deliberadamente le hacía daño durante el entrenamiento. Kai la odiaba aún más por que sabía que era la favorita del Sensei. Unas noches más tarde, la noticia de que Batman fue visto en el Parque Robinson le llamó la atención. Curiosa, Selina se dirigió al parque y alcanzó a ver al Caballero Oscuro en la acción. Se dio cuenta de que Batman estaba sangrando cuando vio un rastro ensangrentado y de inmediato se despertó algo en su mente: si alguien puede ponerse un disfraz y que todo el mundo sea feliz o temeroso al verlo, ella puede hacer lo mismo también. Batman se convirtió en su referente y Selina decidió convertirse en una enmascarada también. Se compró un traje de gato usando todos sus ahorros y volvió a su profesión de ladrona con su traje nuevo y sus nuevas capacidades. Cuando ella estaba tratando de robar en una tienda fue detenida por un grupo de guardias de seguridad y uno de ellos la llamó "Catwoman". A Selina le encantó el nombre y, por tanto, así nació Catwoman.

Traje y Armas
Catwoman ha tenido muchas looks en los últimos años. En su primera aparición, no llevaba traje, y no fue sino hasta su próxima aparición que ella se puso una máscara semejante a una cara de gato que le daba la apariencia de un gato real.

Más tarde, ella llevaría un vestido con una capucha, y aún más tarde, un traje con botas adjuntas. En la década de 1960, traje de Catwoman era de color verde. En la década de 1990, por lo general fue púrpura muy ceñido. Su traje actual tiene una apariencia más tecnologíca, gracias a sus gafas infrarrojas que se asimilan a los ojos de gato. Muchos de sus trajes se han sabido incorporar garras retráctiles de metal en la punta de los dedos de los guantes. Se puede deducir que también utiliza chaleco a prueba de balas.

Flash poseen ciertas habilidades comunes, como moverse, pensar y reaccionar a velocidades sobrehumanas. Además todos ellos poseen la capacidad de vibrar tan rápidamente que pueden atravesar materia sólida, por ejemplo, muros.

Barry Allen posee absoluto control sobre sus moléculas: Al ser transformado una vez en espejo, Allen fue capaz de "derretirse" y reconstituirse en su forma humana. También era capaz de correr sobre nubes de nieve lo suficientemente gruesas. Aunque todos los Flash reciben sus poderes de la Fuerza de la Velocidad, Wally West posee una conexión directa a ella, y por esto no se le puede restringir su uso de la misma. West es capaz de utilizar la Fuerza de la Velocidad para crearse un traje, e incluso otorgar o quitar velocidad a otras personas u objetos en movimiento (Jay Garrick ha mostrado tener cierto grado de manejo de esta habilidad).

Los Flash, además de otros velocistas, son capaces de hablar a una increíble velocidad. Esto es usado principalmente para sostener conversaciones privadas en frente a gente que no sea lo suficientemente rápida como para comprender, aunque también se emplea con efecto cómico, haciendo que Flash hable tan rápido que sus palabras sean ininteligibles. Una característica de los Flash es su sentido del humor, el más conocido por esto es Wally West, que tenía tanto humor contra los Villanos que siempre los otros superhéroes terminaban reprochándole.

También provocaba que aquellos objetos a través de los que vibraba explotaran, aunque recientemente ha podido evitar este efecto secundario. West puede además, aunque no con la misma precisión que Barry Allen cuando utilizaba su caminadora cósmica, viajar a través del tiempo y de las dimensiones por medio de su propio poder, de forma similar a Allen en Showcase número 4 (1956). Sin embargo, West actualmente acelera al punto de bordear la dimensión de la Fuerza de la Velocidad, y además puede viajar por el tiempo a puntos específicos al volverse éstos visibles (aunque necesita identificar la vibración característica de algún velocista en ese período, o estar familiarizado con la vibración del mismo). Es por lo demás el único velocista capaz de sobrevivir tras haber corrido a la velocidad de la luz; todos los demás han muerto o han sido absorbidos por la Fuerza de la Velocidad. Luego de la muerte de West y el regreso de Bart, éste último absorve involuntariamente la Speedforce pudiendo ir a velocidades superiores a la de otros velocistas e inclusive "administrar" la fuerza, trayendo de nuevo a los atrapados en la Speedforce; pero Bart fue asesinado por los Villanos y entonces su poder queda posiblemente en manos de Wally, quien regresó a la vida. El único conciente de que Bart tenía esta habilidad era Jay Garrick, pero no le quiso decir nada ya que al viajar a grandes velocidades podría complicar la existencia de los atrapados.

Otra habilidad que los Flash poseen en común es la de leer a súpervelocidad, y de esta forma procesar enormes cantidades de información. Sin embargo, el conocimiento adquirido de esta forma suele ser temporal, exceptuando a Bart Allen quien parece adquirirlo permanentemente, aunque en un principio Max Mercury no creía que eso fuera a durar.

Hal Jordan era un chico soñador, que siempre imaginaba cosas e idolatraba a su padre. Cuando su padre falleció en un vuelo de jets, Hal superó su único temor y cuando creció se unió a la compañia de jets supersónicos, Ferris. En uno de esos vuelos una fuerza extraña lo transportó donde se encontraba un moribundo alienígena llamado Abin Sur, que le entrega el anillo a Hal ya que alega que tiene una gran voluntad como para portar el anillo. Después de esto se convierte en el famoso héroe y protector de Ciudad Costera, aunque después, cuando Mongul y el Superman Cyborg destruyen (evaporizan) Ciudad Costera, Hal se vuelve loco y mata a Mongul, para después convertirse en Paralaje.

Después de perder la ciudad donde creció, dirige una descarga de su anillo para revivirla, pero los Guardianes ven sus hazañas y se lo prohíben, diciéndole que debe entregar su anillo a Oa. Al oír esto, Hal se enfada y se dirige a Oa, asesinando y quitándole todos sus anillos a todos los Linternas Verdes, llevando a Oa a un duelo a muerte con Siniestro, al que también asesina. Después, entrega su anillo y se alimenta de la batería central para convertirse en Paralaje y corregir todo el universo.Hal Jordan era un chico soñador, que siempre imaginaba cosas e idolatraba a su padre.

Como Linterna Verde, el anillo le da una Exo-armadura, que lo protege de todo tipo de ataques, le permite volar y viajar en el espacio, además de poder hacer construcciones basadas en el poder del anillo. Basicamente el anillo no tiene limitaciones, mientras su usuario contenga una gran imaginacion y una gran cantidad de energia del respectivo espectro; Rojo= Ira, Azul= Esperanza, Amarillo= Miedo, Negro= Muerte, Blanco= Vida, Verde= Valentia.Como Linterna Verde, el anillo le da una Exo-armadura, que lo protege de todo tipo de ataques, le permite volar y viajar en el espacio, además de poder hacer construcciones basadas en el poder del anillo.

Originalmente, Wonder Woman le debe sus habilidades a la diosa Afrodita crear amazonas superiores a los hombres, con Diana siendo la mejor de su clase.

En la Edad de Oro Wonder Woman fue actualizada posteriormente por Marston poder a la voluntad de una enorme cantidad de energía cerebral en sus músculos y extremidades que, debido a su formación Amazona, la dota de una extraordinaria fuerza y velocidad. De acuerdo a su primera aparición, ella es más fuerte y más ágil que un centenar de los mejores atletas humanos. En Comics Sensation #6 (junio de 1942), es capaz de romper una puerta de acero de sus goznes. En una de sus primeras apariciones, ella se muestra corriendo fácilmente a 80 km/h. En el mismo cómic, ella salta de un edificio y las tierras sobre las puntas de sus pies. Incluso se puede escribir a una velocidad de más de 160 palabras por minuto durante un ensayo dado. Estaba implícito, y confirmó en última instancia, de que cualquier mujer que se sometió a un entrenamiento Amazon ganaría fuerza sobrehumana. La serie de televisión se ocupó de este concepto, y en el primer episodio de Super Amigos, estados Diana a Aquaman, "... la única cosa que puede superar super fuerza es el poder del cerebro". En las primeras historias de Wonder Woman, la formación Amazonas abarca el fortalecimiento de esta capacidad de utilizar la energía mental pura.

Relación con Batman
Batman se ha asociado con la Mujer Maravilla en muchas ocasiones, incluyendo una cuando los mayores enemigos de la Mujer Maravilla habitaron algunos de los mayores enemigos de Batman, también han estado juntos, ambos como miembros de La Liga de la Justicia; la Mujer Maravilla ha sido un interés amoroso para Bruce Wayne.

Aquaman es un héroe marino originario del reino mítico de la Atlántida. En un principio se creyó que era hijo del farero Thomas Curry y Atlanna, la reina de la Atlántida; sin embargo, más adelante se revela que es un atlante puro pero que fue criado por el humano a quien consideró un padre y por el cual debe su nombre en la superficie, Arthur Curry. Arthur finalmente aprende sobre su origen y sus poderes, y jura defender los océanos y sus habitantes, así que empezó defendiendo a los inocentes con el nombre de Aquaboy. Su verdadero padre era Atlan, no Tom Curry, un poderoso hechicero atlante.

Personalidad
La personalidad de Aquaman era tradicionalmente mostrada como amable y amigable. Sin embargo, cómics más recientes lo muestran como un héroe sombrío y serio.

Adaptación biológica de un atlante: Los atlantes son una rama de la humanidad que están adaptado biológicamente al medio ambiente del océano profundo. Para la mayoría de los atlantes, esto significa que puede respirar bajo el agua, soportar las presiones de las profundidades (entre otras adaptaciones), y sólo puede pasar un tiempo muy limitado fuera del agua. También poseen niveles sobrehumanos de fuerza, velocidad, resistencia y durabilidad, los productos de todo de su cuerpo se adapta para sobrevivir sin protección en las tremendas presiones de las profundidades del océano. Aunque otros atlantes poseen adaptaciones similares, el linaje real de Aquaman lo hace un Super Atlante, así como lo hace super-humano, y como tal, tiene una mayor capacidad física que hace un atlante típico.
Naturaleza anfibia: Aquaman, como un atlante, puede respirar bajo el agua y en tierra. Él puede ser sumergido indefinidamente sin sufrir ningún efecto negativo, pero de ser un super Atlante, debido a su linaje real, él puede sobrevivir en la tierra más que un Atlante promedio. Esta longitud puede ser ampliado por la humedad en la atmósfera, pero con el tiempo la deshidratación prolongada será debilita
