After Thomas and Martha Wayne were gunned down; it was Leslie along with Alfred Pennyworth who helped raise Bruce. She also provided medical care too Bruce in his guise as Batman as an adult. It can be inferred from her appearences in Batman the Animated Series that she works mainly with Gotham City's economically disadvantaged population. It is never mentioned if she has a medical practice of her own outside of her work with Thomas Wayne Memorial Clinic located in Crime Alley. She is, an experienced and versatile medical doctor who does not seem to have a specific area of specialty in medicine. Specifically, she has treated both children and adults for a wide array of illnesses. Additionally, she has shown some talent for performing surgery as demonstrated in the episode The Crime Doctor. Also, as seen in the Batman TAS episode Blind as a Bat; she apprently has a knack for, at the very least helping to design and build technological equipment of limited fashion when she uses a mini-blowtorch to assemble a headpeice that allows an injured Batman to see with a Radar Like vision after he looses his sight in an accident. |
