Originally a ghetto street in downtown Gotham, Park Row gained its glory after thirty years. The glamour of its heyday was changed to poverty, and the street was commonly referred to as Crime Alley.
Park Row tragedy[]
The Park Row tragedy, as the newspapers called it, was a pivotal point in the life of Bruce Wayne. A robber named Joe Chill murdered Thomas and Martha Wayne in front of their eight year old son Bruce after the family had watched a movie. Chill was first arrested the very same night he murdered them after fleeing the scene.
Bruce visits Crime Alley and places flowers on the ground where his parents were shot.
