At the age of 7, Bruce thought he had the world. By the age of 8, he'd lost that world.
Orphaned in a city that devours the weak, Bruce is left to navigate the cold, corrupt underbelly of Gotham-a place ruled by backstabbing tycoons, power-hungry mobsters, and those eager to carve up what's left of his father's empire. With Wayne Inc. crumbling and vultures circling, his only anchor is Alfred Pennyworth, the aging, frail but unwavering guardian who remains fiercely loyal in a world without mercy.
Will he grow up to take Wayne Inc. to new heights? Can Bruce rise to reclaim the legacy of Thomas Wayne? Will this boy be able to grow up into a man?
This is the origin of a boy who found solace in science, magic, and mystery-who idolized Harry Houdini and Sherlock Holmes. The story of a mind sharpened by loss and curiosity.. of a body forged by discipline and iron-will.
A story of the boy behind the Dark Mask. The man that grew up to be a machine, the devil of Gotham, the Batman.
Before the mask, before the myth...
The making of the Batman.
