1. When young Thomas learned that his mother was named Martha, he still held on to a little hope, praying he could avoid that ill-fated legend.
Then his younger brother was born, and their parents named him Bruce Wayne.
2. As everyone knows, Bruce is a social prodigy, and nearly all his childhood friends are quirky villains.
Let's leave Hush and Two-Face aside for now. In how many parallel worlds did young Bruce end up hanging out with the Joker!?
In this world, his younger brother is even more trouble than Thomas had imagined.
Bruce: I saw a poor man named Arthur. Maybe we could help him?
Bruce: I think Jack Napier is a great performer. I wonder why the circus fired him.
Bruce: I made a new friend! His name is Jerome!
Thomas was feeling a little faint. Were three Jokers really necessary?
He had to take effective measures to interfere with his brother's choice of friends.
The Starks in New York had a boy Bruce's age. They'd both work in the same field someday, so surely they could get along, right?
And then there was Eduardo from the Savarin family. Thomas heard that someday he'd face an astronomical divorce settlement...
3. But one day, Bruce eagerly came to Thomas and said he'd made a good friend.
Before Thomas could start worrying, Bruce excitedly told him his friend's name was Clark.
Thomas looked at him with tears in his eyes, thinking with relief that his little brother had finally grown up.
That was until Bruce put on a gray uniform.
Thomas's brows twitched at the ominous feeling. His brother's partner wouldn't be wearing a white uniform, would he?

Theme: Start loving the world from childhood.
