MK vs DCU info #13: Batman


When his parents were gunned down in front of him, young Bruce Wayne resolved to rid Gotham City of the criminal element that took their lives. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, in addition to mastering martial arts, detective techniques, and criminal psychology. Dressing as a bat to prey on criminals' fears and operating out of his secret Batcave below Wayne Manor, Batman fights crime with the aid of specialized gadgets and vehicles.

Powers and abilities

Despite being the only member of the Justice League without any superpowers or supernatural items, Batman has time and time again proven himself to be just as equally formidable as any other super-powered adversary against the forces of evil. Batman is known to always be prepared for just about every situation and predicament thrown at him. He is proficient in a multitude of forms of martial arts, possesses incredible reaction skill and superb intellect and wit.

Batman is never seen without his famous Utility Belt, which seems to possess just about every item needed for any problem, primarily in fighting and investigation. His most recurring items range from Batarangs (bat-shaped bladed boomerangs), bat-bolas (used to apprehend and disable fleeing enemies), batcuffs and the Bat-Grappling Hook, which he uses to traverse Gotham when not in his vehicles.

In addition, his batsuit appears to be resistant against many forms of hostile content and primarily functions as his disguise and to strike fear into his opponents due to its dark and menacing appearance.
