Batman is a fictional superhero created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, who debuted in DC Comics Detective Comics #27 in May 1939. He is the secret identity of Bruce Wayne, a wealthy American philanthropist and industrialist who, after witnessing the murder of his parents as a child, swore vengeance against criminals and trained himself to peak physical and intellectual perfection to fight crime in Gotham City. Unlike many superheroes, Batman has no superpowers, relying instead on his intellect, martial arts skills, high-tech gadgets, and intimidating persona.
