Bruce Wayne is Batman's secret identity. He was originally exclusive to the Batman theme, but will reappear in the Super Heroes theme in 2012.

Description

2006 Batman Variation

The Bruce Wayne minifigure first appeared in the Batman theme where he was exclusive to 7783 The Batcave: The Penguin and Mr. Freeze's Invasion. Bruce had a standard male hairpiece coloured black. His face had a slight smile with a line to represent his chin beneath. He has two long eyebrows that are fairly big, but not big enough to be bushy, and two black eyes. Bruce sports a Dark Blue suit torso and matching legs.

Super Heroes Redesign

A redesigned Bruce Wayne is set to appear in 6860 The Batcave. He has an updated hairpiece which had been introduced in the Harry Potter reboot where it was used for Draco Malfoy and Fenrir Greyback, but Bruce is the first minifigure to use it in Black. Bruce's face has been drastically redesigned. It has similar eyebrows, which are slightly longer and pointed downward, and the same eyes. Bruce's mouth is now positioned in a wide, but slight frown. His face has been updated with lines to make his face look shallower with cheek bones. He also has a line for his chin, but it is a darker flesh rather than black. Bruce is still wearing a blue suit, but it is now the duller Sand Blue shade. He has matching Sand Blue legs to match his torso.

Video Game Variation

Bruce Wayne's appearance in LEGO Batman: The Videogame is identical to his appearance in 7783 The Batcave: The Penguin and Mr. Freeze's Invasion. He always carries a black briefcase with him.

Background

When a young Bruce Wayne witnessed his socialite parents shot dead by a mugger, he vowed to bring justice to the criminals infesting Gotham City. He then trained himself in detective skills, sciences, engineering, escape artistry, martial arts, and criminal psychology. But Bruce realized that those skills would not be enough to stop the superstitious and cowardly lot plaguing the streets. While he was in his study reflecting on his parents' deaths, a bat flew into the window, both startling and inspiring him at the same time. He would become the bat to strike fear in those who preyed upon the innocent. And so, Bruce then took his mantle as a crime fighter and became known as Batman. His butler Alfred Pennyworth would be his confidant to tend to whatever needs he might require. Batman would also find a friend in Police Commissioner James Gordon, who may not approve of his methods, but appreciates the results. Another ally of Batman would be Robin, none other than his ward, Dick Grayson, who was also orphaned because of crime.

In the Videogame

In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Batman is the main character. He is playable not only as Batman, but also as Bruce Wayne. He uses a briefcase as a weapon by swinging it around and has no special abilities.

Role in the Videogame

Batman is the videogame's main character, but as Bruce Wayne, he plays no part in the story. However, his portrait is built as a minikit and a Red Brick is hidden behind his portrait in Wanye Tech during the level An Enterprising Theft.
