Bruce Wayne is Batman

A standalone character breakdown of Bruce Wayne

Batman invaded the streets of Gotham 2 years ago, yet has impacted he city like no one else. He's quick, he's brutal, he's smart, but most of all, he's just a man. A lonely, sad, unstable man. Who is Bruce Wayne? To the public: a narcissistic womanizer. To his butler, Alfred: An unstable force. To himself: Batman. This story is dark and real. No plot, more so a day to day analysis of Bruce Wayne. Suffering from extreme PTSD, schizophrenia, depression and various other mental illnesses, he vents this through Batman. He can do what Bruce can't. He can punish crime brutally and no one can stop him. He is unstable, not the silent vigilante like other versions, this Batman is fully psychotic. After every night patrolling the streets and beating thugs to near death, he returns home and plays Russian roulette with himself using the gun that killed his parents. He torments Alfred, but Alfred stays as he wants to help Bruce. One night, when taking on a gang of thugs, Batman smashed one guy's skull with a crowbar. Completely drugged up on various prescribed medications and illegal drugs, he kills the man accidentally, sending Bruce deeper into his spiral. He stands on the edges of buildings, contemplating jumping, he tries to force Alfred to kill him, he smashes up the Manor, he tortures thugs, he carves bat symbols into his skin, he torments his world. This is not a comic book movie. It sets up for no sequels, it is a standalone property.
