Billionaire Bruce Wayne became the Batman after being driven to fight crime by witnessing the death of his parents as a young boy. As Batman, he operated in Gotham City and was under the scrutiny of the American Government after Congress forbids freelance vigilantism during the early 1950s. However, Batman remains one of the most prominent vigilantes, disobeying the government's law, thus making him an outlaw. This attracted President Ike Eisenhower to command Superman to arrest him. Fortunately, Bruce Wayne overheard the government's intentions while hosting his yacht as the base of intel operations for Superman and King Faraday docked near Paradise Island. Batman was prepared in combating Superman, which include in enlisting the aid of Selina Kyle (who knew his identity) in stealing a piece of Kryptonite from Lex Luthor. Batman and Superman took their battle all the way to the Batcave, where they meet a standstill until Wonder Woman stopped them. She reasoned the two that the three of them are the only heroes that could make difference in the world and are being clearly forced to fight each other to the death. Batman listened to Diana's advice and proves his trust to Superman and Wonder Woman by revealing his identity. The then three worked out in keeping the government from interfering Batman by staging a mock, realistic fight between him and Superman in front of many citizens in Gotham City, in which Batman 'defeats' Superman.[1]
In 1957, Batman stopped a cult that worshiped a being known a the The Centre from sacrificing a young boy. Unexpectedly he was helped by John Jones (J'onn J'onzz) and Slam Bradley. After defeating the cult leader and scarring away the remaining conscious members, Batman see to the boy, but was terrified of Batman's appearance. He then left the scene, but continues to research on the Centre cult.[2]
Batman later confronted John Jones in his own apartment, telling him what he knows about the cult and giving Jones the cult's talisman for his search. Before leaving, Batman tells Jones that he knows that his a Martian and his weakness to fire, should he ever betrays him.[3] When Jones had giving up hope on humanity and plans to leave Earth, Batman was called to him on the rooftop of Gotham City Police Department where Jones tells him that he can have all the research and information he had on the Centre. After viewing Jones' researches, Batman contacted Superman to meet him and as well in sending him a children book that eerily details the origins of the Centre and its intentions.[4]
Sometime later, Batman changed his costume to be more less frighteningly to the innocents, but put terror on criminals, and recruited Richard Grayson as Robin. He and the Boy Wonder met Superman on the outskirts of Gotham where Batman and Superman confides of the Centre. Batman decided in having Superman to bear the burden on facing the Centre as he knows that it is beyond him to face a powerful, supernatural threat.[5]In the animated movie adaption Jeremy Sisto voices Batman. In the film version, Batman took a direct role in the battle against the Centre, and took Adam Strange's role in recruiting Ray Palmer. He was among the various pilots that was in the first stage assault against the Centre and its mutant dinosaurs, while piloting his batplane in battle.
