Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
@ganon15: He has been been given many different ethnicities depending on the author. In Birth of the Demon he is said to be from a tribe of Chinese nomads in North Africa which doesn't really make sense upon analysis. He was stated as East Asian later on, but then that was changed to Roman/Byzantine. It doesn't seem possible for him to be Chinese since East Asians don't have green eyes, but Romans and Arabs, especially those of the Levant, do.
Throughout his entire history, he speaks Arabic, has an Arabic name which would imply that he is an Arab. Obviously, this is one of the 'depends on the writer' situations.
Ra's al Ghul is from a tribe of Chinese nomads in a desert somewhere in North Africa. "Ra's al Ghul رأس الغول" is a moniker he uses as a result of his settlement and cultured history both in erudition and regional pursuit of Lazarus Pit sources.
