Crime Alley

A small side street in Gotham City’s East End, Crime Alley was originally known as Park Row, a fashionable theatre and cafe district populated with homes and families, however, over the years it fell became infested with crime and corruption, resulting in Gothamites nicknaming the area "Crime Alley". The street became infamous for being the location where Thomas and Martha Wayne lost their lives in a mugging-gone-wrong, leaving their son, Bruce Wayne, an orphan and sole heir to the Wayne Fortune.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins’ community clinic is also located here; established as a practise while the street was Park Row, the clinic provides care for the area’s indigent locals and enjoys the personal protection of the Batman. While the district itself is treated as hallow ground by the Bat Family.

On the anniversary of their deaths, Batman always visits the site of his parent’s deaths, leaving a memorial of flowers over where they fell. It was during one of these visits that Batman met Jason Todd who was in the process of stealing the tyres from the Batmobile.
