Your name is Bruce Wayne, son of Thomas and Martha Wayne. They died when you were young, killed on the street by a mugger. You were raised by Alfred Pennyworth, your butler but also more than that.
[He switches to Cantonese because he knows Bruce can speak it at this age.] Once you were old enough, you went around the world, learning everything you could. You learned to fight from the greatest martial artists. You learned how to think, how to see what others don't by the greatest minds in criminal detection. You learned escapology from Giovanni Zatara and disguise from some of the greatest actors. What you hadn't already learned from Alfred, at least.
[He drops back to English.] And, if I'm right about your age. You're a year, maybe two, from attending the opening night of the circus when it comes to Gotham. And taking in a newly orphaned member of the troupe whose parents died in front of him that night.
