10 Most Important Events In Batman History

Having a list talking about important events in Batman's history without mentioning the death of his parents would be like trying to make a cake without any ingredients - both pointless and tasteless.

As much as many crucial other events have happened in Bruce's comic existence, the rest of his life was decided in Crime Alley, where his parents were shot down by a criminal, instilling a desire for justice in him that'd be impossible to extinguish.

While various storylines have tried to provide Chill a motivation, such as him being infected by Joker toxin, or being tasked to kill them by mob boss Lew Moxon, it has to be said that these additions aren't needed, as Bruce's origin story works best when he is confronted with the needless violence rife within Gotham City, making him decide then and there that he will stop this violence however he can.
