All the stories of Batman deal with the conflict of good against evil.4
The superhero identity is Bruce Wayne, an American millionare playboy, industrialist and philanthropist living in a huge mansion named Waynor Manor, inheritance by Wayne's family from several generations, surrounded by vast country lands outside Gotham City.  This mansion was looked after by Wayne's servant Alfred Pennyworth.

There is an ongoing secondary conflict, because although Bruce wanted revenge against criminals for the killing of his parents he does not take it, but brings criminals to justice.

Most of, if not all, the stories of Batman's conflicts take place in a fictional city called Gotham City.
Witnessing the murder of his parents as a child and knowing that Gotham City was becoming corrupted, with high criminal offences which not even the police could control, he swore that one day, when grownup, he would take revenge on criminals and bring back Gotham City under law and order.

Bruce, at this point grownup as a man, created a Bat themed costume, consisting of a black hood with slits for eyes to look more mysterious, a cape looking like stiff bat wings which could transform him into a secret operational night detective to solve and fight criminal offences.

While wearing this bat costume, he trained himself physically and intellectually, acquiring detective skills.  Using hi-tech science and technology equipment he trained in martial art skills and become confident in managing his Will, Fear and intimidation and made his special abilities a form of superpower to fight any kind of conflict created by one of his criminal enemies who tries to control Gotham City.
Batman operated his strategies from the called Batcave, a cave system under the Wayne Manor house.   This cave was discovered by Bruce Wayne when he was a boy and access to it was from a hidden door in his house.

His criminal enemies were various, such as, to mention a few, the Joker who was his strongest enemy, the Riddler, Two-face, Scarecrow, Poison ivy and many more.

The artist, together with the comic strip writer, and other licensed creators, used the superhero Batman to create a conflict with one of his enemies in order that a comic book story is created, and with special artistic and writing skills gave each story a thrilling and exciting episode in Batman's life.
