The urban myth of the Batman; a bat-like spectre that swoops on the corrupt and protects the innocent in Gotham City, is a well known tale told amongst the criminal underworld that warns them never to trust the shadows. What they don't realise is that the urban myth is real.

Motivated by a tragedy from his past and having dedicated a vast span of his life to honing his physical and mental abilities to near-peak human potential, the Batman is a deductive-minded vigilante who operates within the city of Gotham to irradicate crime and corruption and to bring peace and justice back to the streets.

Background Edit

Son of billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne, as a child Bruce Wayne watched his parents get shot in front of him by a hoodlum after a movie in crime alley

Promising never to be as helpless again and to avenge his parent’s death by ensuring that no one else would suffer his fate, Bruce spent his childhood and teenage years accumulating various skills he would need to fight crime.

Following his near disastrous debut appearance in Gotham City, Bruce felt that he needed something that would strike fear into the hearts of criminals and began designing a persona to achieve this. Inspired by a bat, Bruce modeled his persona around the gothic archetype and began acumulating various gadgets, vehicles and tools he would need in his "War on crime" in the underground caverns underneath Wayne Manor, aka the Batcave.

Alternate Future Edit

Main article: Future Batman

In an alternate future where the conflict between heroes and villains has escalated to war, Batman dons an advanced tech batsuit and commands the hero forces against Future Lex Luthor's villains. During a climatic battle in the ruins of Metropolis, Batman loses his right eye and right arm in a dual attack by Deathstroke and the Joker.

The following battle against Brainiac saw Batman and Luthor allying together to steal and create exobytes in an attempt to create an army of metahumans. Unable to create an army in their own timeline, Batman and Luthor created a time-machine in the Fortress of Solitude to travel to the past in a bid to shore up Earth before Brainiac's arrival. Luthor, however, stole the exobytes and entered the time portal as Batman was battling Brainiac's invasion forces.
