Batman / Bruce Wayne is visiting one of my stories and my 'Batman' lore is VERY rusty. (There is no Robin in my story, so this is just about Batman -- very early Batman.) - I've already checked out Wikipedia's Batman page to refresh my memory.

My Batman is a mixture of Adam West, with a bit of Michael Keaton and a dash of Dark Knight. I am trying to imagine how Deborah Joy-Levine would have created his character, if she had had him 'guest star' on L&C.

Please let me know if any of my details are just plain WRONG:

1) The only person who knows his secret identity is his Butler/friend: Alfred.

2) Batman is more violent than Superman and does not live by Superman's code (work within the system, tell the truth, don't harm humans, never kill - even bad guys)

3) Batman carries a piece of Kryptonite with him 'just in case'
- Superman goes bad
- Superman wants to 'capture Batman' - the vigilante
- ???

My questions about Batman:

1) Does Batman have his own 'code of conduct'?

2) What is the official story of how Batman meets Superman? How did they become friends?

3) Any information about Wayne Enterprises and/or Wayne Foundation.

4) Any other juicie and fun tidbits that I might be able to use.

5) Any links to help me in my research would also be most helpful.

Thank you for any help you can supply.
