| - Park Row, later called Crime Alley, was a historical landmark in Gotham City.
- The street became infamous for being the location where Thomas Wayne 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. 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.
- Crime Alley wasn’t always called Crime Alley. It was once part of a fashionable neighborhood in Gotham City. This alley marks the location that Bruce Wayne's parents (Thomas and Martha Wayne) were killed, which came to be known as the Park Row tragedy. A mugger murdered them in front of young Bruce after the family had watched Robin Hood.
- In Batman comic books, Crime Alley is a dangerous, crime-infested area of the fictional Gotham City. In Bruce Wayne's youth, his parents were killed there by Joe Chill, after the family visited a cinema, motivating Bruce to later become Batman. In the graphic novel Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, an elderly Bruce Wayne also chooses Crime Alley as the setting for his dramatic showdown with Superman, who had been enlisted by the United States government to defeat Batman. Using various tricks and with the help of the Green Arrow, Batman defeats his rival and afterwards fakes his own death.
