Fictional character biography
Wrath
The first Wrath was a member of Batman's rogues gallery, where he served as a sort of anti-Batman. Batman (originally referred to as the Bat-Man and still referred to at times as the Batman) is a fictional Comic book Superhero co-created The Wrath's appearance and motivation are reminiscent of Batman's, but with notable differences. The Wrath (like Batman) is distinguished by perfectionism and obsession in what he does. His costume is also very similar to Batman's (though colored in crimson and purple with a W-insignia on the chest and cowl).
The Wrath's parents were a couple of burglars, similar to Joe Chill. Joe Chill is a fictional character in the DC Comics Batman series They were shot by a young policeman who mistook them for committing a robbery (in actuality, they were crawling out of a window to "skip out" on paying their rent). Due to this, the Wrath dedicated his life to a campaign of revenge against law and law-enforcers. As he had grew up, the burglars' son became a professional assassin. AssassiNation is the sixth album by Krisiun, released in 2006 on Century Media. For years, he traveled the world to work as a gun for hire.
When the Wrath finally returns to Gotham City, he comes to kill the man who had shot his parents. The Wrath's target turns out to be James Gordon, commissioner of the Gotham City Police and an ally of Batman. James Worthington "Jim" Gordon is a Fictional character who appears in Comic books published by DC Comics. Thus, a clash with Batman becomes inevitable. In the course of their impersonal battle of wits, the Wrath learns of Batman's secret identity as Bruce Wayne and proceeds to attack several of his friends; Alfred Pennyworth is hospitalized, and Leslie Thompkins is taken hostage by the Wrath. Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth (or simply Alfred) is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by DC Comics. Dr Leslie Thompkins (sometimes spelled Tompkins is a fictional character from the Batman mythos
In the end, the Wrath dies during his showdown with Batman, having fallen from the roof of a building in Park Row. This happened after he was caught in a fire set earlier by the Wrath himself.
Elliot Caldwell
The Wrath "reappears" in 2008s Batman Confidential. Batman Confidential is an American monthly Comic book series from DC Comics which debuted on December 6 2006. This version retcons his first appearance to a time when a 13-year-old Dick Grayson, who had only recently become Robin, was on an "Educational Holiday" (the original story was published the same year that Grayson became Nightwing) and gives Wrath an all-purple costume. Retroactive continuity is the deliberate changing of previously established facts in a work of serial fiction Richard John "Dick" Grayson is a fictional Superhero that appears in Comic books published by DC Comics. This Wrath, which Batman is convinced is a copycat from his first appearance, begins murdering police officers visiting Gotham for a convention and breaks in to Grayle Hudson's apartment. [1] After a fight with Batman, during which he confirms he's not the original Wrath, he tells the Dark Knight to investigate Commissioner Gordon's actions on June 26 twenty five years ago—the same night Bruce Wayne's parents died. James Worthington "Jim" Gordon is a Fictional character who appears in Comic books published by DC Comics. [2] Gordon's reports for that night have been wiped clean, but Wrath informs Batman that on that night Gordon killed the original Wrath's parents, his father a police officer, while they were robbing a stereo warehouse with him as a lookout. In order to cover up the criminal activity of the officer Gordon was shipped to Chicago and the orphaned boy was sent to an orphanage never to be adopted. Growing to hate cops he became a hitman in hopes of "avenging his parents again and again". In his work he studied Batman, thinking they were kindred spirits, and began training his own "Robin", which went on to become the new Wrath. [3] His real name was revealed to be Elliot Caldwell, an orphaned son who the Wrath trained to be his answer to Batman's Robin. Elliot was one of five orphans who the original Wrath kidnapped and trained, but Elliot was the only one who survived the training. He was stopped by Batman and Nightwing and sent to Blackgate prison.

The Batman was an Emmy Award -winning American Animated Television series produced by Warner Bros WikipediaPersondata --> Christopher Gorham (born August 14, 1974) is an American Actor.

Robin (also referred to as The Boy Wonder) is the name of several Fictional characters appearing in Comic books published by DC Comics, originally Daryl Christopher Sabara (born June 14, 1992) was an American Film and Television Actor. In the series, they are given identities of Will Mallory and Andy Mallory, respectively. [4] William and Andy Mallory are children of jewel thieves. It's implied that their parents made themselves wealthy this way. However, they are eventually caught and convicted the same night when Bruce Wayne's parents were shot. In Law, a conviction is the Verdict that results when a Court of law finds a Defendant guilty of a Crime. At the time, both Mallory brothers were still only young children. Andy barely remembers them, due to him being no older than a toddler. Toddler is a common term for a young Child who is learning to walk or "toddle", generally considered to be the second stage of development after infancy It is this event that motivates them to become the Wrath and Scorn. Their activities consist of aiding Batman villains Joker, Penguin, Killer Croc, and the Ventriloquist & Scarface. The Joker is a fictional character appearing in Comic books published by DC Comics. The Penguin ( Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot) a DC Comics Supervillain, was introduced by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger Killer Croc ( Waylon Jones) is a Fictional character in the DC universe, an enemy of Batman. The Ventriloquist is an alias of two DC Comics villains both enemies of Batman. At the same time, they also fought Batman (as well as Robin) directly. When out of costume, the Mallory brothers pretend to be friends of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, though Andy does little to hide his disdain for Dick. Richard John "Dick" Grayson is a fictional Superhero that appears in Comic books published by DC Comics. Ultimately, it is this "friendship" will leads Bruce and Will to realize each other is Batman and Wrath. Although the costumed brothers are eventually captured, they plan to reveal what they know. Bruce is willing to accept that outcome, but the Joker is not. Having grown tired of Wrath and Scorn's interference, Joker decides that he does not want them to talk. Thus, he gases them with Joker venom. The Joker implies that this will "break [their] minds," and it clearly prevents them from speaking. However, it's unclear whether the effects can be reversed.
