Can you get much more iconic? After all, Crime Alley was where it
all began. Where the Batman was borne from of the wreckage of a poor, helpless young boys shattered psyche. Bruce Wayne visits this location over and over again in his head; reliving his trauma; blaming himself for what happened to his parents; imagining what he could have done, what he
should have done to save them. You cant really touch upon a Batman story without it coming back, at some point, to the death of Thomas and Martha Wayne in Crime Alley; sure stories will come and go without visiting the location itself, but its
never far from mind. After all, without that fateful night, without that fearful location, the Batman
would not exist. Its really that simple.
