Bruce Wayne is the eight-year-old son of Dr. Thomas Wayne, who is running for Mayor of Gotham City, and Martha Arkham-Wayne. After receiving death threats, Thomas calls his friend, Alfred Pennyworth, to become the head of security at Wayne Manor. Thomas and Alfred fought together in the battlefield, where Alfred saved Thomas' life, and, in gratitude, Thomas created a prosthetic leg to replace the one that Alfred lost in an explosion. Alfred learns that Thomas, Martha and Bruce go to the movies every Wednesday and tries to convince Thomas not to go, because it would make him an easy target. Thomas, however, does not want to disappoint Bruce, and leaves.
