    Google says Tales of the Batman: Archie Goodwin. The 2nd trade paper back.

    Maybe Detective Comics #443.

    You're close. It is from Archi Goodwin and art by Walter Simonson.
    But I don't think there are 2 tpb.
    And it's from "Manhunter: The Final Chapter" only found in Manhunter: The Special Edition or the Tales of Batman: Archie Goodwin.

    I forget there was a period where Bruce and Sionis were peers.

    There's a new version of it in Rebirth Year of The Villains Black Mask issue, with a little more detail. In there, Bruce is depicted, in the eyes of Sionis, as this perfect, handsome boy who smiles and very polite, whereas Sionis is uglier, louder and messier than the original depiction to drive the contrast home.

    You mean if he inspired Tommy? No idea, but they're different characters.

    Thomas Elliot is another childhood friend who went to the same elementary school together with Bruce.

    Batman #615

    They met before the Waynes died, went to Metropolis together, watched Alan Scott fly overhead, ran off on their own and get grounded.

    Tommy likes chess and really good at it because he's used to navigating his abusive home. He didn't keep secret to Bruce about his feelings, which Bruce listens and sympathizes with, but of course, it didn't cross his mind how far Tommy will go to escape his parents.

    Same goes for Harvey Dent now, according to All Star Batman (Snyder) Bruce and Harvey spend their summer vacation together.

    Yep, although that's after the parents died and they didn't go to the same school but a sanatorium

    Meanwhile, over at Tellate, it was Oswald Cobblepot who's his school mate

    As do I. The return of socialite Bruce would be nice.

    Hey, remember the time where the Waynes didn't walk down a dark alley and instead it's the murderer who jumped out of the alley to rob them under the bright street lamp of a regular car street in a good neighborhood and that's why the murder feels so random, brazen, and tragic?

    Yeah.

    Who started making them walk down the alley just because the murder location is later called Crime Alley?

    Also he had a childhood friend who later became a fishnet wearing magician but that ones probably on Paul Dini. Wouldn't know if other writers have picked it up.

    In Rebirth, he trained with Zatanna under Zatara while he's in high school (and encountered Ra's al Ghul while he's at it) but wasn't allowed in on the family secret of course. When he found out he got his memory of their real ability erased.

    Detective Comics #961

    I think in Post Crisis too. At the very least, he met and have some charged moments with Zatanna when she visited the Manor. I don't remember if it's before or after the parents died.

    I've always liked Bruce and Zatanna's relationship. "The romance that never was."
