Batman is the father figure to many of the young vigilantes of Gotham, and the erstwhile defender of that city known as the Dark Knight. Criminals flee him, allies fear him. Even years after first being spotted by the media, Batman remains an elusive and mysterious figure in the legends of Gotham. Quite the contrast to the billionaire Bruce Wayne, playboy-turned-father to a cavalcade of adopted children.

Personality

Click to expand.

Compassionate:
Batman cares deeply for the lives of innocent people, not just of Gotham, though that is very much his focus, but even for the world as a whole. And indeed, that compassion extends beyond even the innocent, and all the way to the villains he fights. He may be ruthlessly efficient in stopping their plans, and certainly can be violent in that struggle, but ultimately Batman is driven by the simple desire that no one should have to endure the type of pain he went through in losing his parents, not even those who care for those he battles against, nor the people he fights themselves. For all his grim demeanor and fearsome reputation, it is respect for life which is the core of Batman?s person.

Duality:
While not by any means a split personality, one might be forgiven for thinking that was the case with Bruce Wayne and Batman. Batman is a grim, supremely focused, often-violent vigilante and Bruce Wayne, once you strip away the affected facade of the playboy dilettante, is a deeply compassionate philanthropist, but also a far warmer and less emotionally reserved person, even behind closed doors among those ?in the know.? To an extent, Batman compartmentalizes these personas himself, and despite often claiming that Batman is his ?real self? (to the degree that he can answer ?I?m Batman? to the question of his true identity and it will be accepted as truth even by supernatural methods of detecting deceptions) Bruce Wayne is more a part of him than he often realizes. In his best moments he blends the two seamlessly, and at his worst he focuses almost entirely on one than the other (almost always Batman over Bruce but there have been rare occasions of the opposite).

Focused:
Batman is extremely self-disciplined and driven. He is easily capable of tuning out distraction and other concerns to devote himself fully to any given task at hand, to a degree that can make him seem positively monomaniacal at times. When he sets goals he pursues them relentlessly and with often-ruthless efficiency. Sometimes to his own detriment.

Planner:
Batman, being a rational fellow, is aware that one cannot plan for every contingency. That doesn?t stop him from trying to plan for just about every contingency it is feasible to plan for. He has applied his exhaustive experience and knowledge to finely-tune every aspect of his crime-fighting arsenal to help provide the maximum chance for success. It doesn?t stop him from adjusting on the fly, but chances are in many given situations Batman already has devised a method or plan for dealing with it effectively. He has, for example, spent several years building up immunities or resistances to many common poisons. He?s never been a Boy Scout but he puts them to shame at their own motto of ?Be Prepared.?

Rational:
Perhaps not surprising for the ?world?s greatest detective? Batman?s mind is highly attuned towards logic and rationality. It is not so ironclad that he refuses to accept that there are things that cannot yet be explained by science and rational thought, but he is uncomfortable with those concepts and even then will try to place them in some kind of framework he can more easily relate to. When strange circumstances arise he will go to considerable effort to find the ?rational explanation.? This also tends to make him a bit of a skeptic when it comes to things like ?Magic? and supernatural phenomena and the like. Not that he isn?t aware that it is a real force, but he very much hews towards the ?technology/science we just don?t understand yet? belief.

Reserved:
Batman has adopted such a strict self-discipline that emotional control is very much a fundamental part of his personality. He tends towards stoicism at the best of times, though with the mask off or around his close allies and friends he can sometimes betray more warmth and humor than many expect from him. However coupled with some of his other tendencies this is part of what gives Batman a reputation among those that don?t know him so well for being...at best a bit cold and at worst a callous jerk.

Selfless:
Batman is a very self-sacrificing individual. He gives generously not only of his fortune as Bruce Wayne, but also of himself as Batman. He?s given up virtually the very thought of ever having a ?normal life? in order to protect Gotham and Earth. He would think nothing of giving his life to save innocents. He has no fear of harm, pain, death or discomfort for himself, save circumstance where incurring such things puts innocents at risk. He pushes himself harder, farther, and for greater spans of time than anyone ought to in order to keep others safe. Indeed, he is so without regard for his own well-being that it can sometimes become a serious problem for him.

Powers

Intellect:
Without question Batman is one of the most intelligent humans on Earth, well into the supergenius range. However while he is outstripped by several others in various specialized scientific and engineering fields, there is likely no one else on Earth who is as multifaceted as Batman is. He learns at an amazingly fast rate and has an eidetic memory, which has allowed him to achieve mastery or near-mastery over an astonishing array of wildly different fields, and allows him to learn new ones (or improve in existing ones) with equal alacrity. While within human bounds, his intellect pushes the limits of human capability.

Willpower:
Perhaps even beyond his intellect and physical capability, it is Batman?s indomitable will that drives him to accomplish the amazing things he does. He can push himself harder than virtually any human alive. He can face down Gods and Supernatural beings of immense power without flinching. He can withstand enormous amounts of pain, discomfort, or even outright torture of both the physical and psychological variety without breaking. He can tune out a multitude of distractions to focus on accomplishing his goals. He might waver. He might stumble, and he might make mistakes or suffer temporary defeats, but ultimately...his unwavering sense of purpose is virtually impossible to break. He could easily wield a green power ring (or a yellow, for that matter), and he tends to break free of mind control and other such influences far more quickly than others, or resist it outright.

Skills

Click to expand.

Acrobatics:
Batman is easily the equal of a world-class olympic gymnast several times over in terms of balance and coordination. Years of rigorous training and experience have given him an uncanny ability to flip, twist, tumble, and dodge his way out threatening situations. Only a few notable exceptions among human levels could claim more agility and acrobatic prowess than Batman, foremost among them being his own protege, Nightwing.

Athletics:
While more of a physical capability then actual skill, Batman's body has been honed to the peak of human capability. It's entirely likely that barely anyone on earth can exceed him in overall physical fitness and still be considered ?human.? Batman can run a mile in about three minutes, hold his breath for seven minutes, deadlift almost 1000 pounds, and place in the top five at the Boston Marathon while barely breaking a sweat. He can endure tremendous amounts of punishment (primarily blunt force trauma) with little loss in performance. Also included among his physical abilities is his incredible control over his own body. Batman can effectively 'play dead' by slowing down his vital signs, or dislocate (and relocate) or contort his own limbs almost on command. Many of his own body-control techniques almost break the barrier into the mystical, but in truth are simply extensions of his phenomenal willpower and martial arts training.

Combat:
Batman has mastered dozens of different martial arts styles, and is familiar enough with most others that he can identify their use on-sight and recognizes their techniques. He is not likely among the top 5 martial artists in the world but probably comfortably seated within the top 10, and is skilled and resourceful enough that he has been known to battle the most superb martial artists and occasionally manage a win. His own style borrows techniques from the multitude of styles he knows, creating an amalgamation that is more than the sum of its parts.

Batman is also extremely skilled in the use of thrown weapons such as shuriken, boomerangs, darts, bolos, throwing knives, and other such implements, often using customized variations on them in his crime-fighting. He is also intimately familiar with swords, staves, and most other melee weapons, though he practices with them more to have an idea what to expect from his enemies than for the intention of using said skills in battle directly.

Finally, Batman is more than passingly familiar with ranged weapons as well, including archery, and even firearms, which he may abhor, but he has learned to use out of respect for their deadliness, and if nothing else for a complete knowledge of ballistics and forensics surrounding such weapons. All told, Batman is one of the world?s most formidable all-around combatants, at least among those that fall within human capability.

Detective:
Batman is commonly referred to as 'The World's Greatest Detective'. It's not a name that is unwarranted. Batman's array of detection and deductive skills range from the techniques of Zulu trackers in Africa to the modern forensic science of the FBI or Scotland Yard. He can spot clues and evidence with mind boggling ease, and his eye for detail is unparalleled (his photographic memory is a great help in this, of course). Additionally, Batman is easily the match of the finest forensic scientists on the planet, and is familiar with all the state of the art methods, as well as the simpler modes of analyzing crime scenes. He can often accomplish with a mere glance what less skilled detectives require weeks of analysis to accomplish. Finally, Batman's deductive mind is second to none. He can take even the shakiest of evidence and clues, link them together, and come to a usually frighteningly accurate conclusion as to the who, how, and why of any given situation. His leaps of logic and incredible instincts often astound and amaze those that work with him, to include his compatriots in the JLA.

Disguise:
Batman is skilled in disguise, acting, and impersonation, having been taught largely by Alfred himself. He has been known to apply realistic prosthetics and wigs to alter his appearance and take on alternate identities, most notably that of ?Matches? Malone, a mid-level Gotham criminal. He can tell bald-faced lies so well that he fools lie detector machines, and perhaps most notably can school his body language to subtly differentiate between, for example, Batman and Bruce Wayne.

Infiltration and Escape:
Batman has long since lost count of the number of traps he's managed to escape from. He is intimately familiar with lockpicking, safe-cracking, and general escape artistry. He is easily on par with master thieves in avoiding, disabling, or circumventing security systems, though perhaps not -quite- as gifted as (for instance) Catwoman He can contort and dislocate his limbs as necessary to escape bonds, to include straitjackets, ropes, chains, and even more sophisticated bonds. His keen mind allows him to break through electronic locks and security systems with relative ease. Of course, such techniques are much more effective when he has adequate tools to utilize, but he's proven time and time again that often his ingenuity and whatever happens to be on hand are more than enough to evade nearly any deathtrap.

Intimidation:
Batman knows how best to use his image and reputation to strike fear into the hearts of evildoers, at a level he has practically elevated to an art form. Through a combination of psychological know-how, fearsome reputation, dark appearance, and a simply overpowering presence, Batman can make just about -anyone- nervous. Often he can accomplish this even without -trying- and often even fellow heroes and teammates have been known to comment about Batman 'making them nervous' or 'spooking' them.

Polymath:
Beyond his direct crime-fighting skills, Batman is an expert in a vast array of other fields, from survival techniques to virtually all major (and several specialized) scientific and engineering disciplines, to computer programming, driving, piloting, linguistics (fluent in a multitude of languages), cryptography, and business. And given his formidable intellect, he can brush up on old fields and learn new ones extremely quickly. This includes a tremendous amount of seemingly-trivial knowledge across a multitude of subjects. He is very much a ?walking encyclopedia? and ?jack-of-all-trades? though in his case a ?master of many? rather than ?none.?

Stealth:
One of the more effective skills Batman has mastered is the arts of silence and invisibility. In the shadows of the city, Batman is a ghost, and only the most perceptive of individuals ever find him unless he wishes it. So talented in the arts of stealth is Batman that he has even effectively hidden from Superman, despite the Man of Steel's ultra-enhanced senses. Of course, to hide from those with superhuman perception usually requires special equipment/devices/chemicals of some kind, which means prior knowledge of his opponents abilities (not usually much of a problem for Batman) is a must. But under normal circumstances, no ordinary human being is going to find Batman unless he?s not trying to avoid detection. Included in this ability is his uncanny knack for slipping out of Commissioner Jim Gordon's presence in the middle of any given conversation.

Streetwise:
Batman has a commmanding knowledge of 'life on the streets'. While of course it is primarily focused on Gotham, it easily extends into nearly any other city as well. He knows they kinds of places drug dealers like to hang out, who makes the best informants, who's taking orders from who on the street, and which businesses the 'family' is using as fronts. He knows the ins and outs of criminal organizations like the back of his hand, from the simplest street gang to the oldest bastions of organized crime such as the Mafia. He also knows how and where the 'Black Market' sets up shop (figuratively speaking), and knows how illegal goods flow in most cities. Basically, Batman has the criminal element essentially 'mapped out' in his mind, which gives him a tremendous advantage in his crimefighting escapades.

Tactics and Strategy:
Batman has a genius for tactics and strategy that almost matches his genius for deductive reasoning. Batman can easily devise plans at the drop of a hat, with very little prior notice or warning. Furthermore, it can just as easily adapt to rapidly changing situations and adjust those tactics and strategies accordingly. Whether it's planning the retaking of a city, or the defeat of an ancient alien death machine, Batman is more than equal to the task of discovering and implementing how best to go about accomplishing the desired goal. There are those that say that Batman could find a way to defeat just about anyone or anything, given time to prepare. That may be a slight exaggeration, but there?s little denying that Batman often manages to hold his own even amongst metahumans of unimaginable power.

Resources

Bat-Family:
Over the years Bruce has gathered a collection of several younger heroes that he has trained and molded to varying degrees of success, as well as having always had the loyalty of the ever-faithful Alfred Pennyworth. Even those who have become estranged are often still willing to help Batman and Gotham when pressed, even if they might disagree on the methods to do so. Most would die for him. One for all intents and purposes did. He tries very hard not to let it happen again. Either way, his close group of Robins, Batgirls, and various others (including several ?civilians?) provides an incredible array of expertise across a wide span of different fields, several of them exceeding Batman himself in their most specialized fields, and others offering invaluable support to the operations of Batman and his fellow vigilantes in Gotham.

Bat-Vehicles:
Batman uses two primary vehicles in his war against crime. The first is, of course, the infamous Batmobile. The Batmobile is a specially designed supercar, capable of reaching extremely high land speeds, and carrying a wide array of gadgets and equipment that assist Batman in a variety of ways. It?s an array that seems to only get bigger with each new iteration of the Batmobile. Batman's second most prevalent vehicle is the Batwing. The Batwing is a supersonic jet fighter that is easily on par with anything a modern military can devise. Unlike the Batmobile the Batwing tends to be armed, and is most often used alongside the JLA against superhuman foes. Batman also has a veritable fleet of other somewhat more 'mundane' vehicles, that have generally been modified to suit the 'Bat' motif. They are all top-of-the line quality with state-of-the-art technology, and may very well have further modifications and innovations designed and incorporated by Batman himself.

For more details see +info Batman/Vehicles.

Batcaves:
While Batman?s primary headquarters remains the massive Batcave beneath Wayne Manor, he has several smaller outposts scattered throughout Gotham for use in emergencies or occasionally by other members of the Bat-Family. Most of these have little more than a spare costume and utility belt, extra supplies for the replenishable components of said utility belt, medical supplies, a berth for the Batmobile, Batwing, or perhaps both (though a few are too small for even this, instead usually housing a Bat-cycle), and a remote link to the main computer terminal in the primary Batcave, which in addition to all of the above hosts a full forensic laboratory, training spaces, a full infirmary stocked for trauma care, a biochem laboratory, and deep down a mooring for a Batboat. It also contains a ?vault? of equipment and trophies, some of which are prototype designs of Batman?s own making, such as a few different variants of powered armor, and others are acquired from his foes (For example, he has a fully-working Freeze Gun from Mr. Freeze, albeit an older model). One never quite knows what he might pull out of there (but anything particularly fantastic will be TP only).

Batcomputer:
This ultra-sophisticated crime computer serves as the 'heart' of the Batcave, and potentially Batman's most useful tool when conducting an in-depth investigation. On its own, the computer is a match for the finest supercomputers on the planet, with immense data-storage and processing capabilities. What's more, the computer has access to the JLA mainframe, and a direct link to Oracle and all of her (even more extensive) electronic resources. The computer also has 'back door' (in other words, hacked) access to Scotland Yard, Interpol, and the FBI. Furthermore, a skilled user can easily use the computer to 'hack' into other agencies if time and the situation permits. Aside from some of the systems Oracle uses, there may be no other more comprehensive and sophisticated crime-analysis computer system in the world. The main batcomputer of course rests in the primary Batcave beneath Wayne Manor, but it can be linked to from nearly all of the ?mini-Batcaves? Bruce has set up in and around Gotham.

Connections:
Even outside the Bat-family and JLA, Batman has a wide network of individuals that can assist him in his work. From informants on the streets of Gotham, to experts in particular fields he might not be quite as gifted in, to various superheroes and vigilantes he has managed to form respectful acquaintanceships with. Batman may be a supremely resourceful individual, but despite legends to the contrary he does not know EVERYTHING. But if he doesn?t know something, there?s a good chance he knows someone who does know the thing.

Costumes:
As to be expected, Batman's costume has a wide variety of innovations built into it to allow for more effective crime fighting. It protects him from low to medium caliber bullets, as well as a fair amount of blunt force. The cape is weighted to be used as a weapon and can also become a gliding mechanism. The cowl of the uniform has radio and night vision capabilities, among others, as well as a voice modulator that distorts his voice enough to make it not-immediately recognizable. Finally, the suit has an electrical anti-tamper feature that activates in the case of Batman falling unconscious. Batman also maintains a few unique suits for specific situations.

For more information on Batman?s costumes, see +info Batman/Costumes.

Gcpd:
While Batman does at times have a contentious relationship with the GCPD, for the most part they work well together, largely due to his friendship with Commissioner Jim Gordon. Individual opinions of Batman may vary on the force but a slight majority seem to view him and his partners as a net positive for Gotham City. Aside from being an alternative source of ?backup? when notified, Batman is on occasion allowed to view evidence and access files for open cases he assists on. In exchange, Batman (and company) stand ready to answer the GCPD?s call whenever the famous bat-signal lights up the night sky.

Jla:
Batman has longtime connections to the Justice League of America, and can generally count upon assistance from their membership and access to their collective resources as-needed, though of course he?s expected to offer assistance of his own (which largely consists of helping to fund the operation when it?s active, though he does take part in operations with them as-needed. As much as Gotham is his focus he?s well aware there?s a larger world beyond Gotham that needs protecting, too.

Utility Belt:
The heart of Batman's crime fighting arsenal, the utility belt consists of several compartments carrying a wide variety of tools to assist Batman's nightly escapades. The contents of the belt are usually tailored to the task at hand, but a 'typical' load would include: A dozen or so of Batman's custom shuriken, one or two batarangs, a penlight, lockpicks, several smoke pellets, Batman's grapple launcher and hook with de-cel cord, a bit of cash, a pocketknife or 'leatherman' style tool, a rebreather with 30-minute oxygen supply, and a small first aid kit. Other items that Batman has been known to carry include tear gas pellets, flash-bang pellets, miniaturized forensic kits, small cutting torches, illumination sticks (chemlights), thermal blankets, and god only knows what else. Batman's uncanny resourcefulness and planning ability insure that no one can ever be quite sure what he's going to pull out of his belt next.

Wayne Enterprises:
As majority owner of Wayne Enterprises Bruce often uses the corporation to provide him with necessary equipment and resources as Batman (though of course he covers his tracks well, particularly with Lucius Fox aiding and abetting him). Through them, he can acquire state-of-the-art technology, loads of raw material, pharmaceuticals, and all sorts of other potentially useful items. It also makes him a major player in the business world and while Lucius Fox is known to be the brains of the outfit Bruce is still its? face, and has access to the social network of the biggest names in business.

Wealth:
Bruce Wayne is likely among the top 5 wealthiest men on the planet, at least as far as those for whom there are reasonable methods of tracking said wealth. He is the majority shareholder of Wayne Enterprises and the Chairman of the Board (though Lucius Fox often holds his proxy), giving him a positively massive amount of wealth in terms of business ownership. When he is not Batman he lives a life of luxury though not really excess. He has a massive estate in Wayne Manor, as well as Penthouse Apartments in downtown Gotham and Manhattan. He wears almost entirely custom-tailored clothing by some of the best designers, tailors and shoemakers in the world. He has a fleet of high-end luxury automobiles (many of them classic) and modern supercars. He has multiple private jets at his disposal, and a fully stocked wine cellar that contains numerous extremely rare and valuable vintages. About the only common thing for people of his wealth that he DOESN?T have is a megayacht and he has the connections to rent one whenever he?d like. He can afford the best of everything that money can buy. And can afford to have it made if it doesn?t exist. As Batman has been known to quip when asked what his superpower is by those who are aware of his identity: ?I?m rich.?

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Enemies:
Batman has amassed a wide array of villains over his career, from the psychotic Clown Prince of Crime called the Joker to the international criminal mastermind Ra?s al Ghul, and a vast array of others. There are a LOT of extraordinarily skilled, powered, and/or dangerous individuals that would love nothing more than to see Batman dead, or at least to see him suffer in defeat. Worse yet, a few of these villains already know his secret identity.

Martyr:
As noted, Batman is extremely selfless, but he can at times take that to extremes that are severely detrimental to his health and performance. He has been known to go without food, water, and particularly sleep for far longer than he ought to when matters are at their most critical. He will push himself to continue the fight even when injured, weakened, or otherwise distracted. While this can at times be admirable, he has been known to take it to a level that borders on being a form of self-harm. Likewise, he?s been known to keep secrets from even those closest to him, in an effort to shield them from burdens he feels they shouldn?t have to shoulder. Which often can lead to those very critical circumstances that wear him down. It?s a vicious cycle if he?s not careful to keep it in check and listen to those closest to him.

Secret Identity:
Batman keeps his identity a very closely-guarded secret from all but a select few individuals (and an even smaller number of villains who have discerned it but for whatever reason don?t spread the secret around). Were his identity to become public knowledge, not only would it open a vast array of avenues from which to attack and hamper him, it would also put all the people he cares most about in grave danger, to say nothing of potentially embarrassing certain friends and allies (most notably Commissioner Gordon of the GCPD).

As a follow-on to this, while many of Batman?s ?family? are quite capable of taking care of themselves, several of his nearest and dearest are, if not noncombatants, at least far less overtly capable than say, Nightwing or Cassandra Cain. This includes Wayne Enterprises CEO Lucius Fox, Alfred Pennyworth, Dr. Leslie Thompkins, and to an extent even Commissioner James Gordon, to say nothing of a long list of women that have been romantically attached to Bruce Wayne at any given time (he may not be linked to them anymore, and several of the relationships may have ended poorly, but that doesn?t mean he wouldn?t go out of his way to protect them). All of whom would be in an exceptional amount of danger if his secret identity were ?outed.?

Strict Code:
Batman knows that many of the things he does skirt a lot of lines...legal, moral, ethical, and so he holds himself to a strict standard of behavior to prevent himself from falling too far on the wrong side of those lines. Most notably is that he adamantly refuses to use lethal force and techniques, even against the deadliest and most murderous of opponents. While this is often only a minor impediment in the heat of combat, it has insured that however well-intentioned Batman might be, he is all-but-doomed to a cyclical pattern of battle-capture-escape with most of his recurring foes. While Batman would like nothing more than to see his mentally ill enemies rehabilitated, thus far there has been very little success at it. Batman is well aware that it would be more efficient and likely even save lives if he were to simply do away with some of his opponents. He?s even been tempted from time to time. But he knows if he crosses that line he will become something no better than the man that killed his parents, and it would likely trigger an identity crisis that could turn Bruce from one of the world?s foremost protectors to one of its? greatest threats.
