#also i just enjoy when any comics talk explicitly about bruce's abandonment issues

Bruce Wayne’s childhood in Secret Origins (1986) #6.

#bruce wayne #martha wayne #thomas wayne #phillip kane #i love how bruce is honestly creepier as a child than he is as batman in this story #wearing his little nautical pajamas and swearing vengeance against all criminals by candlelight... #also i just enjoy when any comics talk explicitly about bruce's abandonment issues #also for context: this is supposed to be golden age (original) batman #which is why bruce's uncle is his guardian and alfred doesn't exist
