What do you want to be when you grow up? Thats the question that everyone asks you when youre a kid. Of course, back then, you have no idea. You dont know what life has in store for you. All the trials that await. You dont know what your destiny is. You just take everything for granted. I know I did.
Bruce Wayne, a man in his early twenties, sits in Wayne Manor dressed as if he was going to a party. He sits in a leather chair staring at the window, drinking. He stares at the window as if waiting for something.
1985.
An eight-year old Bruce Wayne is walking down the streets with his parents, Thomas and Martha. They had just visited with a group of friends. Bruce is dressed in a pair of dress pants, a dress shirt, and a nice jacket. Thomas is dressed in a tuxedo. And Martha is dressed in a dark red dress with a pearl necklace.
So did you have fun, Bruce?, Martha asks.
No., the young Bruce quickly states.
Why not?, his father asks.
Because there was nothing to do., the young Bruce says as he stops walking to look at his parents, Or at least nothing fun to do..
You didnt like anything about the party?, Thomas asks, Are you positive?.
Yes., Bruce shakes his head stubbornly, I didnt know anyone there..
Your just like your father., his mother says as she looks at Thomas, Always stubborn about meeting new people..
Thomas looks at his son and smiles at him. Bruce returns the smile. Thomass smile fades as he steps in front of his child and wife.
A man, in his mid-twenties, begins to walk by Thomas. Hes dressed in ragged clothes. He quickly stops and pulls a gun on Thomas.
Give me your wallet and jewelry now!, the mugger shouts. His hand is shaking rather badly.
Okay., Thomas says as he reaches for his wallet and hands it over. He hands over his watch next. There you go..
Jewelry., the mugger casually says as he points the gun at Marthas pearl necklace, Hand it over..
BLAM! BLAM!
The sound pierced the dead night. It sliced through the unusual silence as if it were paper.
Thomass body fell to the sidewalk motionless.
Martha screamed at the top of her lungs. The mugger grabbed her pearl necklace, which she reacted by retaliating.
BLAM! BLAM!
Young Bruce watched as his mothers body fell besides his fathers. He fell to their sides crying.
He looked up into the barrel of the gun, directly at his parents murderer.
This is it., Bruce thought, This is the end. Soon Ill be with my parents.
A police siren wailed as a cop car pulled up to the sidewalk. A man, in his mid-twenties, climbs out and instinctively pulls his gun on the mugger.
Freeze!, the cop yells.
The mugger pulls the trigger of the gun and
CLICK! CLICK!
BLAM! BLAM!
The muggers body fell to the ground. The police officer, James Gordon, rushes over to Bruce. Gordon is dressed in a pair of black pants, with a white shirt and black tie. This ensemble is completed with a black jacket. Hes wearing a pair of glasses and is sporting a mustache.
Here. Lets get you out of here., Gordon says helping Bruce to his feet.
No!, Bruce pulls away, They are okay! I cant leave them!.
Gordon embraces Bruce as he lets it all out.
Its okay., Gordon calmly says, Its okay..
