//------------------------------// // Prolog // Story: Batman: Mare in the Dark // by andmos //------------------------------// This is to bring the readers to speed with who Batman is. This has happen before the Arkham Asylum. Gotham was a big city under the protection of corrupted cops and a mayor that did not do anything to stop the violence. Gang leaders controlled the streets and the person was not safe. That was before a rich family moved outside the town. The family name was well known to the city. It was Wayne. They hired people on the streets and took them out of their bad circle of crime and drugs. Two years later, a man with cold blood shot and killed both Mr and Mrs Wayne with the last family member, a ten years old boy named Bruce, surviving and inheriting the family fortune as a result. The boy soon became angry with the law and figured that he could take the law into his own hands. Before the murder, he falls into a well. Unluckily the well has no water and he nearly broke his legs. He soon discovers that the well was a huge cave that’s was used by bats for decades. The bats flew into the sunshine in wild panic and the boy was terrified in what might happen next. Soon he was rescued by the family butler Alfred. After the murder and the trial of the murder went down, the boy decides to train in the mountains of Asia, to fight for a better world. After Bruce came back, he climbed into the well again and began the job to become the Batman. He uses his old fear for bats to become The Batman as well as lots of money to bring in new technology to him to face the war of the crime.
