    Batman

    Character » Batman appears in 23535 issues.

    Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.

    I wonder how Batman got away with having two children died under his care?

    I know Gotham is corrupt but no one notices that Jason and Damian are missing despite their father being a public figure.

    I always thought it was that was weird.

    How is he getting away with anything if there's a public grave? All he has to do is say that the kids died in some sort of accident. It happens in real life all the time and Gotham is by far one of the worst cities a person could ever hope to live in. Sad to say that if a person dies it'd be easy to explain it as having happened during some supervillain incident or another.

    @nathaniel_christopher: I don't think it would of worked because he had two children died in his care. Someone would raised an eyebrow and probably started digging around. Bruce Wayne is known global so people outside of Gotham will be paying attention to him.

    Don't see your logic here. How exactly would it not work? Again, children die every single day and the death rate in Gotham City must be massive. Not even rich people are immune to that, as seen with his parents. There are then numerous incidents in which children do die, which in turn could be used to explain Jason and Damian's deaths. Then of coruse there's the fact that Bruce Wayne is Batman. Keeping secrets, covering things up, and lying to people is what he does and there's not much reason to think he couldn't come up with a credible explanation.

    No one outside of Gotham City is watching Bruce Wayne to see if a child dies under his care.

    @nathaniel_christopher: Bruce Wayne is Celebrity. People know him outside of Gotham. People are going to pay attention to him because he is rich and famous. People care about rich more than the poor.

    Someone would of found it odd that two children died under his care and start investigating.

    No one's going to find it strange that two kids died in Gotham City, especially depending on how exactly Bruce explains their deaths to the general public, or even IF he told the public at all. From what I remember, Post Crisis i'm fairly certain Jason was buried in an unmarked grave, implying that there wasn't some big public ceremony. There's also the fact that their deaths didn't even happen that close together, which would be a cause for some raised eyebrows, or even in the same manner, which would also be strange.

    Even if they did, where exactly is any investigation going to go? Unless there's some reason for the public to suspect Bruce of murdering these kids it wouldn't be anything beyond an average police investigation into their deaths. They're not going to end up in the Batcave because two kids died. That's ridiculous. As i've said previously, children die every day of various causes and you honestly seem to think that Bruce Wayne of all people couldn't think up a plausible explanation for why two people died lmfao.

    John Travolta, Sylvester Stallone, Mike Tyson, Marie Osmond, Keanu Reaves, just some celebrities that are widely known whose children have died and whose lives have kept going. Again, i'm not sure what you think is going to happen to Bruce because two of his kids died.

    He's freakin batman in Gotham City. People die there like every Sunday, that's sort of the reason why they need him. They exaggerated their weak criminal defence by killing off his parents in the most simple way ever-a mugging. It wouldn't be that far off thinking that even Wayne could die and people would treat it like another casualty, a big one sure but just another casualty.

    And he's the batman.....that's literally one of the inly explanations we need to answer this question

    @sommie7890: it was never stated that either of them were Robin, just that they were in Bruce Wayne's care. Also, given how Batman villains break out or get helped breaking out of Arkham and Maximum Security Prisons, what's to stop them from killing some rich Guy's adopted kids just for their sick pleasure?
