Grim Knight

Grim Knight's History

Bruce Wayne's life follows much of the same path of his Prime Earth counterpart, until the murder of his parents. On his earth, Joe Chill dropped his gun to search for Martha's pearls, and Bruce, in his grief, used the opportunity to pick up the gun and shoot him to death.

He would spend the next several years of his life to travel around the world, learning ways to fight and kill from assassins and mercenaries he came across. Realizing he needed a symbol to strike terror into the hearts of these criminals, he was inspired by a bat who he shot after it broke through his window to become the Batman. He stored weapon arsenals all over Gotham City to wage his war on crime.

Within his first year as the masked crusader, he attacked a party attended by the corrupt rich of Gotham who protected the criminal elements of the city and burned them all alive. Following that, the city erupted into chaos and he quickly killed several prominent crime bosses to instill order, including Carmine Falcone, Tony Zucco, Oswald Cobblepot, Roman Sionis, and Waylon Jones. He also killed the Red Hood at Ace Chemical Processing Plant.

However, this gained the attention of GCPD Lieutenant Jim Gordon, who thought that Batman had crossed a line in his war on crime. Building a Bat-Signal with a concealed magnet within, he managed to trap the Knight and had the police raid his concealed arsenals. Unfortunately, Gordon had used Wayne Enterprises technology to set up his plan, which Bruce used to disable the magnet, kill Gordon's men on the roof and explode the fake arsenals, to kill GCPD cops he viewed as corrupt.

He tied up Gordon and made him watch as he crashed two highly explosive blimps into both Arkham Asylum and Blackgate Penitentiary, killing every criminal in the city. He wouldHe would then scar Mayor Harvey Dent through radiation in order to get him to allow Wayne Enterprises tech to be planted throughout Gotham to begin a mass-surveillance of the entire city and take control of anything to wage his war without needing to be there.He killed a mugger with an automated gun, drove a child predator's car off a bridge, and caused a corrupt judge's medical implants to fail him. Gotham thus had become a much safer place. His butler Alfred Pennyworth, who had grown disgusted with his methods, left him, despite having an implant in his neck that could kill him as well. Bruce allowed him to walk away and turned his attention to Gordon, who hadn't been seen in the last six week. His show of force had however allowed Gordon to realize that Bruce was Batman.Jim convinced Mayor Dent to allow the authorities to raid Wayne's home. With the aid of the FBI, he disabled the bugs and Bat-sentries Bruce had planted throughout GCPD using the kill-codes Gordon had given him. Gordon then proceeded to subdue and arrest Bruce after he pulled a gun on him.
