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.
