Fan Casting Young Bruce Wayne in Sam Raimi's Batman: Echoes

At the age of ten years old, Bruce accompanied his parents to see Footlight Frenzy at the Monarch Theatre in downtown Gotham. Following the show, Bruce's father had decided that they should walk for a bit before they took a cab back to Wayne Manor. Whilst walking down the Alley at Pearl and Phillips Streets, they noticed two hoods who'd been tailing them from the theatre. As one of the hoods grabbed for his mother's pearl necklace, Bruce watched as his father tried to stop him. In response, the mugger's cohort gunned them both down. As the first hoodlum started away, the second turned to shoot Bruce, but was dissuaded by his fleeing companion. Bruce never forgot the man's evil grin as he aimed the gun at him, or the cryptic question that he asked: "You ever dance with the devil by the pale moon light?"
