[[File:Kazuma Kiryu.png|75px|left]]
[[File:Batman.png|left|80px]]
Kazuma Kiryu was orphaned at a young age and became a yakuza in his teens.
Billionaire genius Bruce Wayne was orphaned at a young age when his parents were gunned down in front of him outside of a movie theater.


After his childhood friend and love interest was raped, Kiryu's sworn brother killed the yakuza who did it.  
Vowing to avenge the death of his parents, he left home to train both his mind and body, learning various sciences as well as martial arts.


Kiryu took the blame and went to prison for ten years.
Upon arriving back in Gotham City, he donned the image of his childhood fear, the bat.


After coming out of prison, he was no longer a yakuza, but got pulled back in after rescuing [[Haruka Sawamura|Haruka]], the daughter of his love interest.
Using a sophisticated suit and high-tech armor purchased with his inherited wealth, he acted as the costumed vigilante known as Batman.  


The yakuza who raised Kiryu was killed, and Kiryu was named the fourth chairman of the Tojo Clan.
Batman was a founding member of the superhero team known as the [[Justice League]].


However, after Haruka's mom was killed, Kiryu left the Yakuza permanently.  
==Batman: The Animated Series==
''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' was introduced in 1992. This version of Batman is largely the same as the DC Comics version. The main difference is that, in this version, Jason Todd never met Bruce Wayne, thus he never became Robin.

Kiryu raised Haruka as his own daughter, along with other children, at the Morning Glory Orphanage.
==Lego Batman==
Lego Batman was introduced in 2006. Although he still has the same tragic backstory, thie version of Bruce Wayne is more comedic than most of his other incarnations.


He got pulled back into Tojo Clan business occasionally, but the welfare of the children under his protection was always his top priority.

Fictional character biography

Batman.png

Billionaire genius Bruce Wayne was orphaned at a young age when his parents were gunned down in front of him outside of a movie theater.

Vowing to avenge the death of his parents, he left home to train both his mind and body, learning various sciences as well as martial arts.

Upon arriving back in Gotham City, he donned the image of his childhood fear, the bat.

Using a sophisticated suit and high-tech armor purchased with his inherited wealth, he acted as the costumed vigilante known as Batman.

Batman was a founding member of the superhero team known as the Justice League.

Batman: The Animated Series

Batman: The Animated Series was introduced in 1992. This version of Batman is largely the same as the DC Comics version. The main difference is that, in this version, Jason Todd never met Bruce Wayne, thus he never became Robin.
