Park Row

Park Row, or Crime Alley, is the part of Gotham North where Thomas and Martha Wayne were killed in front of young Bruce by an unknown mugger.

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.

History
The part of Park Row around the Monarch Theater was known as the "Crime Alley" because of the high rate of crime. This name became prominent after the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne, the parents of Bruce Wayne who would later become the Batman.
