What is the story of Batman?

Burgan, Michael (author.). Murray, Jake, (illustrator.).

Summary: "Bruce Wayne, a wealthy American philanthropist and business owner, and Batman, his crime-fighting alter ego, have been entertaining audiences since 1939. The character was so popular after appearing in Detective Comics that DC Comics decided to give Batman a comic book of his own.
