(1) n. Created in the late 1930s, by Bob Kane, Batman's main goal was to be a "superhero who would sell as well as Superman."
Like Superman, he was given a tragic past and a reason to fight. But, unlike Superman, he has no powers of his own, and relies on theatrics and fear to get his message across. He dresses like a Bat to invoke fear in his enemies.
He has a network of associates known as the "Bat Family," which includes: Nightwing (Dick Grayson, the first Robin), Robin (Tim Drake), Oracle (Barbra Gordon, the first Batgirl), Batgirl (Cassandra Cain). Previously, he has taken Jason Todd and Stephine Brown under his wing, both as Robins (the second and fourth ones, respectively), and both were murdered.
Since his inception, Batman has appeared in comic books, cartoons, movies, plays, and various other media. He currently stars, and is featured, in various DC comic books.

A character created by Bob Kane. The story which was published by DC Comics was about Bruce Wayne, a millionaire mourning the loss of his parents. He would assert the indentity of Batman to avenge the injustice of their murder, by fighting crime in Gotham City.
He was eventually adapted to television through movies and his own animated series by Warner Bros. A parody starring Adam West as Batman has diluded some people about the real theme of the series.

Quite probably the best superhero known to man. After a tragic childhood accident, Bruce Wayne devoted his mind to crime-fighting. Although many know him for his fortune and gadgets, Batman's main strengths are is astounding intelligence and willpower. It is generally agreed upon by his fans that if you tell him who his opponent will be a week ahead of time, he will always win.
Batman would compete in the Olympics, but he has better things to do than win enough gold to destabilize an economy.
