The first time. I could talk about the first time that I'm sure came to most people's mind, but honestly that's all such a blur of faces and times I'm not sure who and where that was anymore. I was rich, good looking and in emotional pain, it's hard to remember a time I wasn't awash in girls.
There's another first time I was thinking of. Really it was the first day I let the real me out, even though I didn't have all the toys yet, no mask, no cape and armor. The day I planned to shoot Joe Chill at the courthouse only to have that moment of pointless revenge taken away from me by one of Carmine Falcone's people.
It was the day I opened my eyes for the first time since my parent's murder and saw what everyone else was going through. The poverty and isolation of my city, the way the few held all the money and all the power and the way they stepped on the necks of those in their way.
The Batman had been conceived in that alley in my parents blood, but he was really born that day when I could finally look beyond my own pain and see what others were suffering.
"Never again." It's a promise I made to my parents. Never again will I let that happen in my city.
