Batman's career as a vigilante earns him the ire of the police. During this period, Wayne has a fiancee named Julie Madison. Wayne takes in an orphaned circus acrobat, Dick Grayson, who becomes his sidekick, Robin. Batman also becomes a founding member of the Justice Society of America, although he, like Superman, is an honorary member, and thus only participates occasionally. Batman's relationship with the law thaws quickly, and he is made an honorary member of Gotham City's police department. During this time, butler Alfred Pennyworth is introduced to Wayne's Batman alter ego, and begins helping him save Gotham from Victor Fries and Oswald Cobblepot.
