young males with short attention spans, vachss tried to be dramatic by using what author adam begley calls " a motivational hat trick : sympathy for the victims, revenge, and a family calling ". a major theme in the book is the characterization of child abuse. the story follows bruce wayne as he learns about the different categories of child abuse, from the ignorant to the incapable and to those who do it for pleasure. batman, whose motivation is to prevent crimes like the murder of his parents, is contrasted against a social worker whose motivation is protecting children ; batman realizes that throughout his career he had been fighting criminals, not crime.

characterization = = batman's secret identity is bruce wayne, a wealthy american business magnate who resides outside of gotham city. as a child, bruce witnessed the murder of his parents, thomas wayne and martha wayne, which ultimately led him to craft the batman persona and seek vengeance against criminals. wayne averts suspicion by acting the part of a superficial playboy idly living off his family's fortune, which was amassed through investment in real estate before the city became a bustling metropolis, and the profits of wayne enterprises, his inherited conglomerate. he supports philanthropic causes through his nonprofit wayne foundation, but is more widely known as a celebrity socialite.
