"Even good men have secrets"

- Bruce Wayne's philosophy

Bruce Wayne is the deuteragonist of the TV series Gotham, portrayed by David Mazouz.

He is the orphaned son of Thomas and Martha Wayne who is under the care of Alfred Pennyworth. Traumatized by the murder of his parents, Bruce has been doing his part to find the identity of his parent's killer while showing concern of some illegal activities done by members of his father's company. Bruce displays a fervent tendency to train himself as investigator and combatant, but is still navigating the remainder of his childhood with Alfred's guidance. In a later life, Bruce will go on to fight crime in his adulthood as Batman.

Background
Bruce was born to Thomas and Martha Wayne, and ended up being their only son. When his father was still alive he and Bruce would go for a hike once a year and sit at a campfire.

Season 1
When leaving the theatre with his parents after seeing a movie, they cut down an alleyway where they ended up being confronted by a masked man branding a gun. The man ordered Bruce's parents to hand over their money and belongings. Despite cooperating, the man shot them both dead, and aimed his gun at Bruce. Hesitating, he went off into the night, leaving Bruce to let out a harrowing scream. When the police came to investigate the crime, new detective James Gordon comforted Bruce and promised he would find the man who killed his parents.
