'''Batman''' is a fictional [[superhero]] who has appeared in [[movie]]s, [[comics]], and [[television]]. Unlike many superheroes, Batman has no superpowers. His abilities come from his intelligence, [[martial arts]] skill, and equipment. Batman was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. Unlike his ally [[Superman]], Batman is a dark figure whose motivation for fighting crime is his witnessing of his parents being [[gun]]ned down by a [[criminal]] when he was a boy.  He chose the guise of a [[demon]]ic{{fact}} bat to strike fear into the hearts of "cowardly and [[superstition|superstitious]]" criminals.  Batman's alter-ego is Bruce Wayne, a successful [[capitalism|capitalist]] who runs Wayne Industries; he secretly fights crime by night.  His partner is Robin (Dick Grayson), whom Bruce Wayne took into his home when the boy's parents died under mysterious circumstances.  The apparently [[pedophile]] [[homosexual]] relationship between Bruce and young Dick was described by Dr. Fredric Wertham in his book ''Seduction of the Innocent'', which led to much-needed censorship of the comics medium as it was getting out of control in the 1950s. Batman is one of the few prominent superheroes without any superpowers.
