One night, as the family was leaving a movie theatre after a screening of The Mark of Zorro, Thomas and Martha were shot and killed by a mugger. Eight-year-old Bruce witnessed the murder.

^Array of weapons and tools carried in his utility belt. Effects based on 10 points (from crushing dice of swing damage for his strength, 2d at 5 points per die)
^^5 per slot, 5 per point. Modified from Super-Memorization in Characters according to Power rules to not require reference materials to change abilities. Drawing on his knowledge, experience, and natural genius, he can add/utilize any mental Advantages or Skills (including Techniques) given a few moments (a second per point) to focus. Used primarily for Advantages, knowledge skills (especially sciences), cinematic skills, and combat techniques.
^^^Paid for as Status 3
¥ From Wealth. +3 relative reaction bonus as Bruce Wayne
¥¥ The official legal and medical records for Wayne (and the rest of the Batfamily) have been doctored to prevent identification and tracking from physical evidence (blood type, fingerprints, DNA, etc.). Records exist, they are simply incorrect, preventing a positive, identifying match between the hero(es) and his or her true identity. If any discrepancy in the records is discovered, the Cosmic enhancement “resets” the Zeroed status by automatically reestablishing the altered records.
€This is a perk level of Legal Immunity. It operates at the 5 point level of LI, and includes all the limitations of Informal (-50%), based solely on Commissioner Gordon’s cooperation. It is further prone to the possible influence and interference of people in authority over Gordon (typically the Mayor of Gotham) and the whims of the public or media. There is also an expectation of Batman being effective and uniquely competent in his war on crime, regularly capturing criminals, foiling their plots, and stemming any lose of life; doing so is necessary for maintaining the good will of the public and police that Gordon partially relies on to justify allowing Batman to operate. Finally, if Batman is ever credibly believed to have broken the law egregiously (eg. endangering citizens, falsifying evidence, or murder), arresting him will almost certainly become priority number one for the GCPD.
Mechanics Notes:
Brachiator: +2 to Climbing skill and can swing at half Basic Move
Breath Control: x4 length of time he can hold his breath
Catfall: Subtract 5 yds from any fall; successful DX roll halves fall damage
Combat Reflexes: +1 to active defenses, +1 to Fast Draw, +2 to Fright Check, +6 to IQ to wake up or recover from surprise or mental "stun" and +1 or 2 to his side's initiative to avoid a surprise attack
Very Fit: +1 to all HT rolls (to stay conscious, avoid death, resist disease or poison, etc). Recover FP at 2x rate. Lose FP at 1/2x rate
Flashback: On a roll of 6- on 3d6; lasts 2d seconds; -2 to all skills
