It is in 39 that Bob Kane and Finger created the famous bat man for the Detective comics number 27. One year after superman's birth comes the dark knight, ready to become the protector of Gotham city.
What did Bruce Wayne bring on the table of superheroes back then? Well, Bruce is not a superheroe, he is actually a man who wears a black costume to scare criminals. His power: his mental. But wait a second, why did Bruce choose to become a bat?
As he was thinking of how to fight criminals, he saw a bat through his window and it reminded him of how scared of them he was when he used to be a child. A cape, a cowl, gloves, briefs and boots made the costume of one of the most famous upholder of the law. At first black with blue highlights, his costume then became all blue and gray.
The firstname of our heroe, Bruce, comes from Robert I of Scottland and his lastname from Anthony Wayne in order to give him an air of colonialist origins. His look and personality are a mix between Zorro and Sherlock Holmes.
