son of a public school teacher who he experienced the unimaginable horror of random gun
violence as a child changing the trajectory of his life forever. With no limitless resources
no billions to fund him no mansion and no butler to care for him Bruce has shaped himself
into an entirely different breed of Batman one that is equal parts brain and brawn who exists
exclusively in the grittiest and most underserved parts of Gotham with no high society mask to
fall back on. Collects Absolute Batman #1-6
