Batman is a fictional character, a comic book superhero
first appeared in Detective Comics #27 in May 1939 by DC Comics. Batman’s secret
identity is Bruce Wayne, a wealthy industrialist, playboy, and philanthropist.
Witnessing the murder of his parents as a child, Wayne trains himself both
physically and intellectually and dons a bat-themed costume in order to fight
crime. Batman operates in the fictional American Gotham City, assisted by
various supporting characters including his sidekick Robin and his butler Alfred
Pennyworth, and fights an assortment of villains influenced by the characters’
roots in film and pulp magazines. Unlike most superheroes, he does not possess
any superpowers; he makes use of intellect, detective skills, science and
technology, wealth, physical prowess, and intimidation in his war on crime.
