He would try to help Gotham and ocassionally be the target of a supervillain but I am thinking someone else would rise to the occasion and take the mantle of Gotham vigilante.

Dick would have a shittier life though (or maybe he would have become a vigilante in his own way), probably Jason, Tim would still have his dad? But a lot of batkids would have different lives.

With guidelines from Johns, and the whole event was retarded since it's not an elseworld. Just like house of M. Flashpoint was just a really bad idea from a writter that has never cared about the character but only about powers and suits.

There was an old Silver Age story where Batman travelled to an alternate universe and saved that world's Thomas and Martha. The young Bruce was inspired by the act of heroism and grew up to imitate him and become a hero himself in order to help others.

So, lets run with this.
Young Bruce Wayne becomes obsessed with characters like Zoro, the Green Hornet, the Phantom, etc.
He decides that he is going to become the greatest crime-fighter that the world has ever known and secretly begins his training. However there is one major hurdle: His parents and their company, Wayne Enterprises.
As long as his parents are around he will never be able to peruse criminal sciences, or the amount of physical training he hopes to upkeep. They will send him to business school, and he will learn to preserve the legacy they built. To him this is unacceptable.
To turns to the comic books and characters he adores and idolizes and notices they all have one thing in common, that they are born from a tragedy.
Bruce, realizes that to become a crimefighter he will need a driving tragedy in his life and his parents out of the way. The decision is obvious.
He somehow arranges a hit on his parents, perhaps he uses a homeless as a middleman, perhaps he changes his phone over the voice or something. I don't know. Three toddlers in a trench coat style.
His favorite movie is playing in town, "The Mark of Zorro" and Bruce pleads with his parents to take him as he know the theater that is showing it is in a rough area of town and that way he can have people believe it's a random act of violence that takes his parents life.
After the movie he leads them in the alley, skipping and frolicking like a child.
Then Chill steps out of the shadows and blows his parents brains out and spares Bruce (As agreed on)
Bruce is now free to become the world's greatest detective.

Just a one-page parody.

Trinity, the girl from another planet raised by Amazons who were shot in a back alley in front of her.
>>
>>78030877
There was a Marshal Law story where a Batman knock-off called the Private Eye did that, but mainly out of revenge because his parents were sadistic scientists that tormented him.

>>78040681
That was from the early 80's though, wasn't Silver Age.

I feel like this has been done. If not then it needs to happen.
>>
>>78033378
Well given what was originally hinted at during the beginning of his Flash run, the Flashpoint he wanted to write and the Flashpoint that was published were more or less entirely different events.
>>
>>78030941
What if Martha was the one who survived, and became Batman?

I guess you're right. I could have sworn it was from a decade earlier.

What if Bruce Wayne's alter ego was Clark Kent and Superman's alter ego was Batman?
>>
>>78046269

Adopted son Kent Wayne saves Thomas but Martha is killed by the misfiring gun. Thomas becomes Batman with Kent and Bruce as his sidekicks. Eventually, Bruce's jealousy turns him into the Lex Luther equivalent for Kent's super powered Nightwing, after they grow up and Thomas has passed on.
>>
>>78049146

He wants to prove a human can do anything a Kryptonian can, and it's fueled by guilt over not being able to save his mother that warps into blaming his adopted brother for not failing to himself.
