Cover of the first of a series of lurid dime novels based on only somewhat less lurid newspaper reports of the mysterious masked avenger.

A player character in Victorian Justice League: A Tale of Two Cities.

When young Bruce Wayne's parents were brutally murdered in front of him, he swore vengeance on evildoers. After many years abroad training his mind and body to the peak of human ability, developing the skills and tools for his life's mission, he has returned to resume control of his inheritance by day and to strike terror in the hearts of thieves and killers by night.

The identity of the Bat-Man is known only to his butler and lifelong friend, Alfred Pennyworth. Most of the world only knows Bruce Wayne as the wealthy inheritor of Wayne Industries: a noted philanthropist and superficial dabbler in various things, well-read and widely travelled, an undistinguished but sporting fellow with a decent head for most things.
