Monarch Theatre

The Monarch Theater or Monarch Theatre was an old fashioned movie theater house located not far from the Park Row district in Gotham City.

History
In early 1984, Thomas and Martha Wayne took their young son, Bruce, to the Monarch Theater to see the 1940 classic film, The Mark of Zorro. Upon leaving the theater, a mugger accosted them and murdered Thomas and Martha right before Bruce's eyes. This incident traumatized Wayne and inspired him to one day take on the alias of the Batman. The theater closed its doors some years later.

The alleyway behind the theatre was later called "Crime Alley", a moniker made by Gotham residents, though it's official name is "Park Row".
