Powers and or Abilities
Will-Power: Batman's strength of will is massive, allowing him to tolerate amounts of pain that would often be considered too great for a man to be able to handle. This also allows him to maintain his conviction enough that he continues to fight the never-ending battle against crime.
Intimidation: By far, Batman's favorite tactic in his crusade is his ability to frighten and create a lasting fear in those he meets. Even those who are considered some of the most powerful beings in the world are intimidated by The Caped Crusader based on his history of success when combating others. This allows him to interrogate those he needs to, and get the information he wants. Fear is by far Batman's greatest weapon.
Peak Human Performance: Wayne's body has been honed to that of what humans consider to be the apex of physical conditioning. This was achieved by constantly punishing his body, and pushing himself further since the age of 12. By the time he was 18, he could achieve many feats that outperform those of Olympic Athletes. Upon obtaining physical perfection, Bruce, maintained it through constant exercise and sparring.
Expert Acrobat: Bruce is highly proficient in both Gymnastics, and Acrobatics, only a few being able to surpass him in this field without some type of superhuman power enhancing their performance.
Martial Arts Master: Trained in many Martial Arts, including Muay Thai, Escrima, Krav Maga, Capoeira, Savate, Yawyan, Taekwondo, Judo, Jujitsu, Ninjitsu, Kendo, Fencing, Kenjitsu, Kali, Bojutsu, Francombat, Boxing, Kickboxing, Hapkido, Wing Chun, Parkour, Shorin Ryu, Silat, Chin Na, Hokuto Shinken, Kyudo, Aikido, Varma Adi, Jeet Kune Do, Shaolin, Ba Gua, Hung Gar, Tai Chi, Kung Fu, Kenpo, and Karate, Batman is considered one of the deadliest warriors on the face of the planet. However, he rarely applies most of the techniques he knows, and has focused his own fighting style down to these seven: Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Muay Thai, Dragon Style Kung Fu, Boxing, Jujitsu, mixing them into one personalized fighting style that utilizes the most effective parts of each one.
Marksman: Batman is highly skilled in the use of ranged weaponry, particularly shuriken weapons such as the batarang. Hitting even the most difficult target 9 out of 10 times, he has more than enough accuracy to get by.
Stealth: Able to blend into any shadow that can dimensionally contain his body, Wayne is a master of stealth, and uses it just as much as his powers of intimidation to help curb the criminal activities in Gotham City.
Genius-Level Intellect: A Polymath, Bruce Wayne is brilliant in terms of raw intellectual ability, with a significant number of areas in which he has studied. Though he lacks and degrees that would prove it, he is potentially one of the keenest minds of the modern era. His most specialized field of study is in Forensics and Criminal Science. Mechanics, Physics, and Strategy are other areas that he has learned a great amount in.

Relationships
Both Batman and Bruce Wayne have a number of romantice relationships and flings.
Personality
Bruce Wayne has two primary personalities that he utilizes, often adapting them slightly depending on what he wishes to accomplish, or to convey a specific attitude to certain individuals. While some say that this is a psychotic tendency, many others maintain that it is simply a skill that he utilizes as Batman in order to effectively do his job.
The first, and primary, personality is often called the "Batman" persona. This one was shaped by the childhood tragedy that occurred at age 8, and made him loathe to becoming close to anyone. When he became Batman, Bruce realized that his chosen path would make it impossible to forge any meaningful relationships with another because of the constant danger of them being taken from him just as suddenly as his parents were in his youth. The only individual allowed to grow close to the man at all is his butler Alfred, and that's more a result of the old man refusing to leave his employer's side no matter what.
He is driven to a degree that is extremely rare even among the most motivated individuals, stopping at nothing to accomplish something that he starts. Batman is often described as obsessive, he is methodical and self-disciplined, but often allows this obsessive nature to get the best of him and allow other parts of his life to suffer when he focuses on something as Batman. Usually these things are deemed as unimportant, and can range from the small things like making a social gathering to his own physical health.
After having such a large amount of training, and working so hard over the years, Bruce holds himself to the absolute highest standards. This standard also tends to be held to the ones around him, and when they fail to meet them Batman shows his disappointment.
A strategist by nature, Wayne often thinks in the extremely long run. This causes him to be so far-sighted that he fails to realize the problems that occur directly in front of him, and, notice the emotions of those closest to him. To others it seems that he is more concerned with achieving goals than those close to him, often making him come off as uncaring. And who knows, they might be right.
However, he is fiercely loyal and noble, giving all he can give of himself in his war on crime. A generally compassionate man, he seems especially gentle towards small children and those who have been cheated by the crime that plagues his city.
Believing in basic moral good, he doesn't believe in killing those who he combats to stop. Even the most depraved and dangerous of these rogues escape use of lethal force by the hero. While many question this judgement, it is because murder is a line that Batman is not willing to cross for any reason. If he were to ever cross that line, then in his own eyes, he would be no better than the criminals he incarcerates.
The other side to Wayne is much less deep, being a shallow "Brucie" personality. A playboy who parties late into the night and always has a lady on his arm, with no responsibilities to speak of. He often comes off as shallow, with deep pockets, and loose morals. This is a method he utilizes to ensure that when someone comes to the conclusion that Bruce may be the Batman himself.

History
Bruce Wayne was the son of Dr. Thomas Wayne, and his wife Martha Wayne. The two were wealthy socialites, both coming from families of money, essentially owning half of the city through stocks in a number of local companies and the ownership of Wayne Enterprises. While Thomas himself didn't have much to do in the company, he was able to utilize it as a resource for his political career.
The son, Bruce, was raised and educated on the grounds of Wayne manor throughout his life with very little interaction with others. Primarily, he had friends through associates of his parents, such as the Dents, who would bring children to play with the boy. Jessica and Harvey, Dent, would continue to visit the estate and spend time with Wayne.
One day, whilst exploring the grounds, Wayne fell into a hole that led to a hidden cavern beneath his home. As the lad fell through, a swarm of bats awakened and surrounded him before exiting the way through which he came. Both trapped and frightened, it was several hours before aid was able to come for the young man to retrieve him from the pit through which he fell. This event would leave him traumatized, but also, create the foundation for his persona in adulthood.
Then came the fateful night that would shape Bruce's life forever. When he and his parents were attending a play, the youngest Wayne became frightened as there were actors who were dressed as bats in the play itself. Leaving through the side exit of the theater, the three found themselves in an alley. Waiting in said alley was a mugger named Joe Chill, who demanded Martha's pearl necklace a gun-point. Refusing to let Martha surrender the jewelry, he attempted to take the man down, and both were shot to death in the dark alley.
Taken home later that night, the now orphaned Wayne was put in the care of Alfred, and comforted by the social worker Leslie Thompkins. Throughout the next 5 years, Wayne visited many specialists who have attempted to help him through the grief. The only thing that came of this was his Bruce coming to the conclusion that he didn't want anyone else to experience what he has. Swearing an oath to eradicate the very same crime that had killed his parents, the young man began his global trek to prepare for his crusade against the evils of Gotham's criminal underbelly. Before departing for his sojourn, Bruce taught himself a variety of skills, including Chemistry, Martial Arts, Gymnastics, Disguise, Escape Artistry, and Forensics.
At 12, Bruce left for his global journey to learn even more. He studied at some of the mot prestigious European Universities, attending for a semester, then subsequently dropping out. While abroad, Wayne received instruction in other areas of skill. This includes Martial Arts, Man-Hunting, ninjutsu, healing, and ventriloquism.
Upon reaching 20 years of age Wayne briefly returned to America to attempt to join the Federal Bureau of Investigation. However, after learning the protocol and rules, he found out that he couldn't completely fight crime while working within the true judicial system. Deciding that he would need further training and continued his education to be able to sufficiently working around the law.
After 4 more years of training, Bruce did return to Gotham after his 12 year long personal journey. He returned with his body and mind trained to human perfection, but still, refrained from commencing his crusade until he discovered the final weapon for his arsenal. As a large bat crashed through his window late one night, it allowed for Bruce to recall his childhood-trauma. This would provide Wayne with the inspiration he needed to design his suit, and drawn his methodology, heavily from the winged mammals.
Immediately after developing the proper equipment to fight off crime, Bruce, used his tactics to stem the flow of a great amount of the very street crime that caused the deaths of his parents. Becoming an urban legend among the city, Batman removed the veil of a legend by making an appearance at a dinner where the heads of a greatest crime lords within Gotham. Informing them that he would end their tyrannical reign, Batman made an ally out of district attorney Harvey Dent and police commissioner James Gordon. Now, he systematically is working to end organized crime within Gotham City, after realizing that this would be the most effective way to end all crime on the streets.
