His parents were poor Irish immigrants, they died when he was a teenager. He then went to war and saw all sorts of horrific violence. He saw a lot of his friends die in front of him, including his best friend Bucky who was like a brother to him. Finally, he got frozen and woke up to find that everyone he knew before was dead except for his girlfriend who is so old she barely remembers him.
I know Bruce was only a child when he saw his parents die and that it was a very tragic and scaring event, but I don't think he's as tragic a character as Steve. He was raised in luxury by Alfred, who was like a father to him. I can understand him being a vigilante but he's far too dark and brooding for me to take him seriously. If the darkness and rage was just part of his super persona I'd accept it.
