Batman Creator Bob Kane along with the help of Bill Finger created the comic book character Batman in 1939. Batman was created to bring more success to DC Comics like Superman who was created the previous year. Batman was created to be a detective so he was the combination of Sherlock Holmes and an actor Douglas Fairbanks.
Origin Story Bruce Wayne is the only son of Thomas and Martha Wayne the owners and creators of Wayne Enterprises. Thomas and Martha were killed one night by a mugger in front of Bruce. This event changed him to want to fight crime and save the people of Gotham City. Bruce Wayne keeps suspicions off of him by maintaining his playboy facade. Various details have changed over the years but the event that got him started remains the same.
