Bruce Wayne (DC Extended Universe)

As presented in the source tradition, Bruce Wayne's origin centers on witnessing the murder of his parents, Thomas and Martha Wayne, as a child; he thereafter swears vengeance against criminals, a vendetta tempered by an ideal of justice. He channels private wealth and training into a lifelong project of combating crime from the persona he crafts.

In civilian identity Wayne is presented as a wealthy American businessman and playboy who resides at Wayne Manor. As his bat-inspired persona he employs a bat-themed costume and specialized equipment (an armored 'arsenal' and crafted persona), though specific costume details from the supplied materials are not fully enumerated. In the DCEU continuity the role is portrayed on-screen (notably by Ben Affleck in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice).

Wayne trains himself physically and intellectually, uses family wealth and resources to develop an arsenal and surveillance operations, and conducts nocturnal patrols to intervene in criminal activity. He is depicted as possessing high-level physical conditioning, investigative and strategic skills, technical/engineering resources, and the means to operate across social roles (public philanthropist by day, vigilante by night). Canon sources state he vows never to kill criminals and not to use firearms or other lethal weaponry as part of his self-definition.
