On one fateful Christmas day, a family of three left their favorite movie theater in Gotham City's Park Row. The couple's son, Bruce, is disenchanted by their movie choice, "The Mask of Zorro." Previously, he didn't get the right toy he wanted for Christmas. Dr. Wayne, disappointed he couldn't make his son happy, decides it is time to go home. They take a wrong turn into an unlit alleyway. A desperate man with a gun demands the group's valuables. A scuffle follows. Within seconds, Dr. Thomas and Martha Wayne are dead. Their son, Bruce Wayne has forever had his childhood stolen from him.
He became obsessed with the pursuit of justice and created a plan for the rest of his life. Once old enough, Bruce Wayne traveled the world and honed his body and mind to the highest physical peak. Along the way, he studied every known science including criminology, forensics, chemistry and psychology. Wayne trained under manhunters and martial arts masters and in time, became an unrivaled master, himself.
Years later, Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham City. He took on what most critics called a figurehead position as joint CEO in Wayne Enterprises, as he maintained a public image of a billionaire playboy. One day, Wayne investigated a den of bats on his property and discovered a system of caverns that stretched beyond his 150 acre estate into most of Gotham. He converted the caverns into his alter-ego's base of operations, complete with state of the art technology pinched secretly from Wayne Enterprises Research and Development. Chemistry and forensics lab, a high-tech computer database, a secret driveway, dock and shrines decorated the cave. Wayne then created a suitable identity for himself. It was something to use the darkness as a weapon, to strike fear in the hearts of criminals, Batman.
On Earth-1191, while investigating a series of murders of Gotham's homeless, Batman discovers that the murders are being committed by a family of vampires led by Dracula. With the aid of a rogue vampire called Tanya, who was a member of Dracula's brood until the sight of an innocent child drove her to flee from him, Batman created a "blood substitute" to spare her. He discovered with the substitute, he is able to acquire the strength necessary to stand against Dracula while still holding onto his humanity. Determined to destroy Dracula's minions, Batman lured them into the Batcave, where Tanya and her followers keep them occupied until Batman detonated multiple explosive charges, destroying Wayne Manor and exposing the cave to sunlight, destroying all the vampires within it. Using his new wings, Batman flies to confront Dracula, eventually impaling the vampire lord on a tree that was destroyed by lightning. During the battle, Dracula drained the last of Batman's blood. Bruce Wayne may be gone, but the Batman is immortal
