Overview
Park Row, or Crime Alley, is the part of Gotham North where Thomas and Martha Wayne were killed in front of young Bruce by Joe Chill. The orphaned Bruce was comforted by the local resident Leslie Thompkins, but this single tragedy wouldn't be erased from his young mind and it served as motivation to start his long journey and crime-fighting crusade as The Batman. Every year, Bruce Wayne visits the place on the anniversary of his parents' deaths as a reminder of his life purpose.
