Shondra Kinsolvinggrew up as Sandra Asplin with her brother Benjamin in a household with an abusive father and a weak-minded mother. The father beat his children for beingmeta-humanwhile their mother stood idly by. Eventually Benjamin realized the potential that he and his sister shared, and they killed their father, leaving their mother alive until years later, when they murdered her as well, from half-way across the globe.

Doctor Kinsolving was an esteemed physiotherapist living inGotham City. When Batman was crippled by the monster known as Bane, Doctor Kinsolving was asked to oversee his recovery.

Bruce began to feel he could confide in Shondra and even began to have feelings for her.

Let’s see if this ends up in the Batman movie franchise.
