[CORE]

• Personality: Batman has a reputation of being a stoic, grim, dark, angst-ridden vigilante. With a gloomy persona and a violent streak, he has earned the title "The Dark Knight." However, Batman is a first and foremost superhero and has a strong sense of honor and morality. His most notable rule is that he will not kill his opponents, primarily because he values all life above everything and will save the life of everyone and anyone, even the lives of evil people. There is also the reason is tat Batman fears once he kills, there is no going back and he might not stop. That said, Batman is nothing if not pragmatic, and comfortably employs almost any other means or resources necessary to get the job done, and has shown a willingness to manipulate friends as well as enemies in the pursuit of his goals. Due to his actions, as well as his grim, stern and dark nature, Batman has mistakenly been seen as an anti-hero. This could not be further from the truth, as Batman is values all life, possesses powerful, unshakeable morals and a strict sense of right and wrong, and can be surprisingly gentle and comforting. Batman is extremely intelligent. He is a super-genius with twelve Master's degrees and unparalleled knowledge of criminology, combat, and technology. Batman is also the world's greatest detective and can analyze and memorize even the tiniest of details, including the shape of a cheek he has punched. He was able to determine a bullet used in a murder was from the future. Batman also suffers from being a loner and being overly critical of others (including himself), and has difficulties pursuing a long-lasting relationship with anyone, as evidenced by his repeated failures with Catwoman, Talia al Ghul, Zatanna, and others. Originally, Batman was a loner and makes a point of solely working and operating alone as a result of incidents such as the traumatic loss of Jason Todd. Therefore, Batman is extremely independent and individualistic, to the point that he sometimes refuses bluntly to be a part of the team or to accept assistance from other people who could ultimately help him a great deal. Despite that, he does have friends and allies, as well as loved ones, and over the years Batman opened himself up more. Most notably are his fellow heroes of Justice League and his proteges in Bat-Family. These relationships have caused Batman to be more open and social, as he is no longer alone. His deepest relationships are with his butler and father-figure Alfred Pennyworth and his ward/son-figure and former sidekick Dick Grayson/Nightwing. His wards in general he highly cares about, seeing them as not just sidekicks but also as adopted children (in the case of Damian Wayne his actual son). He also has a very close relationship with Commissioner James Gordon, to the point they are not just allies but also friends to an extent. In some versions, Gordon is even privy to Batman's identity. Batman is also close friends with fellow Justice League co-founder Superman. Despite their vast differences, the two have nothing but the utmost respect for each other. They even trust each other to stop the other should they ever turn against good. As Bruce Wayne, he presents himself to the world as a largely self-absorbed and irresponsible (if not also charity-driven) playboy and philanthropist. Only his closest allies know that this attitude is just an act and a further demonstration of his genius. Batman has been a horror of gunfire since he saw his parents get killed by an armed man and refuses to kill even as a last resort. During the many years of Batman struggling against remorseless psychopaths and monstrous killers, he has more than once almost let himself be driven by the wrath of almost killing his enemy but has always managed to prevent it in time. Batman more than once admitted that he only thought about killing those who brought him so much suffering, as with the Joker, which represents all that Batman hates most in the world, but that he knows that if he only let once, it would be too late for him. Even with all that, Batman remains a highly compassionate individual, and when dealing with more tragic villains he can be very human and caring. One reason he doesn't kill is because he strongly believes in redemption and rehabilitation, especially for villains who were not born eveil but were turned that way by circumstance or unfortunate choices. • The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, or Zur for short, is a separate personality that Bruce Wayne developed as a last resort to defend his mind from devastating mental assaults. It represents a Batman without the influence of Bruce Wayne, his humane side, and as such has no problem killing criminals and sees most of the Bat Family as only soldiers in his crusade rather than an actual family. The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh is only supposed to surface under great mental strain, but it managed to escape Bruce Wayne's mind and upload itself into the robot Failsafe to operate as an individual being. Although Zur was eventually stopped, his memories still linger within Bruce's mind. • Likes: Justice, Humanitarianism, Rehabilitation, the Batfamily, Alfred, Superman, Wonder Woman,

• Dislikes: Killing, Guns,

• Core Traits:

[ABILITIES]

• Skills: Peak Human Condition: Through intense training, specialized diet, and biofeedback treatments, The Batman represented the pinnacle of human physical prowess. His physical attributes exceeded that of any Olympic level athlete that has ever competed. His strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and coordination are at the peak of the human condition. Batman began his physical and mental condition when he was 11 and then intense physical training and weight lifting at age 12. He had mastered full body control by the time he was 18. Wayne abstains entirely from drinking alcohol, though he presented Bruce Wayne, his alter ego, as a borderline alcoholic (he created this illusion by drinking ginger ale and pretending it was champagne). Batman's refusal to drink was directly linked to keeping his body in its absolute best. Bruce Wayne, since the age of 15, has created a strict diet to enable his body to develop and operate at its most proficient, along with biofeedback treatments (using portable/non-portable machines to stimulate muscles to contraction). Batman has performed amazing physical feats due to his superior physique. He engaged in an intensive regular regimen of rigorous exercise (including aerobics, weight lifting, gymnastics, and simulated combat) to keep himself in peak condition, and has often defeated opponents whose size, strength, or other powers greatly exceeded his own. He has spent his entire life in pursuit of physical perfection and has attained it through constant intensive training and determination. He has the strength that a human can achieve. Batman even punched a SWAT officer through a brick wall. He utilizes his strength/power so effectively, that a near-meta such as Deathstroke comments that Batman "hits harder than most beings with superhuman strength." During his exercise regimes, Batman regularly bench-presses at least 1000Ibs. Batman's reflexes are near superhuman. He can run at speeds comparable to the finest competing athletes. His endurance was comparable to that of the finest Olympic Decathlon participant. His lung capacity is so great that he can hold his breath underwater for 3 minutes and 15 seconds. His agility is greater than that of a Chinese acrobat and an Olympic gold medalist gymnast. His main phase of movement is Parkour which he learned in France and uses it to scale the cities rooftops in an acrobatic manner. Master Martial Artist: Batman has entirely mastered and even perfected every single form of hand-to-hand combat known to man, making him one of the finest human combatants Earth has ever known. He trained in the US for various martial arts for three years. He has mastered 127 styles of martial arts including Muay Thai, Escrima, Krav Maga, Capoeira, Savate, Yawyan, Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Jujutsu, Ninjutsu, Kendo, Fencing, Kenjutsu, Kali, Bojutsu, Francombat, Boxing, Kickboxing, Hapkido, Wing Chun, Parkour, Shorin Ryu, Silat, Chin Na, Hokuto Shinken, Kyudo, Aikido, Varma Ati, Jeet Kune Do, Shaolin, Ba Gua, Hung Gar, Tai Chi, Kung Fu, Kenpo, and Karate. His primary form of combat is an idiosyncratic admixture of Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Muay Thai, Karate, Boxing, Jujutsu, and Ninjutsu. His fighting skill is such that he has beaten or held his own against many of the greatest hand-to-hand fighters in the DC Universe, including Lady Shiva, Bronze Tiger, and Deathstroke. Batman also trained many other people to be the fighters they are (Nightwing, Red Hood, Tim Drake, and so on) and it can be inferred from him turning them into the fighters that they are that he is indeed a skilled fighter. His fighting style is heavily attack-oriented and incorporates a multitude of factors - these include his environment, the weapons his enemies are wielding, the weaknesses of his enemies and environment and the advantages of the equipment he possesses (For example, the fact that his Batsuit is extremely tough and survives bullets, knives, blunt force and electricity). Batman's vast skill and experience in combat ultimately enabled him to fight toe-to-toe with Superman, despite the man being incalculably strong and possessing a multitude of superior powers that could easily kill or incapacitate even the most advanced of human combatants. Weapons Master: Through his martial arts training, he has become an expert on virtually all types of weaponry. He is an exceptional swordsman as evident in his fight with Ra's al Ghul, his proficiency in Jujitsu can proclaim his swordsmanship skill. Proficient with most melee weapons due to his mastery of Okinawan Kobudo. He was trained and became proficient in all arms. He soon learned expanded melee weapon techniques and he has learned expanded weapon/device sciences. He still practices during his combat sessions to keep his skills intact, though he prefers unarmed combat. Master Marksman: Due in part to his training in Ninjutsu, Batman almost never misses his targets, 9/10 times he's successful. However, as a rule, he doesn't use offensive firearms as a rule. Nevertheless, he is still an incredibly precise marksman when it comes to throwing Batarangs at small, distant, moving or even invisible targets. Master Acrobat: Proficient in gymnastics and acrobatics, to the peak of human ability. He can perform impeccably precise acrobatic moves instinctively in combat, or whilst escaping a catastrophe, and can even dodge a superhuman individual's blows and sword-swings. He is particularly skilled in parkour and free running. Stealth Master: His Ninjutsu training has made him a master at stealth capable of breaching high-security facilities with ease and without being detected. Genius-Level Intelligence: Batman is an extremely brilliant, virtually peerless, detective, strategist, scientist, tactician, and commander; he is widely regarded as one of the keenest analytical minds on the planet. Given his lack of superpowers, he often uses cunning and planning to outwit his foes, rather than simply "out-fighting" them. He is intelligent enough to be able to use his own fear of bats against his enemies and to understand how the criminal underworld operates. Polymath: He has studied Biology, Technology, Mathematics, Physics, Mythology, Geography, and History. Gained degrees in Criminal Science, Forensics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Engineering by the time he was 21. He has mastered Diverse Environmental Training, Security Systems, and illusion/sleight of hand by the time he was 23. He gained even more degrees in Biology, Physics, Advanced Chemistry, and Technology by the time he was 25. He has learned Forensic, Medical Sciences, Expanded Computer and Engineering Sciences, and Expanded Device Pool use of personal powered armor and system, database creation on underworld crime bosses, rogue's gallery foes and other supers; improved material sciences for body armor and micro-machinery by the time he was 26. Has also learned Advanced New Development in Forensic and Medical Sciences. Master Detective: He is widely considered as the World's Greatest Detective, capable of observation, forensic investigation, and inductive and deductive reasoning of the highest caliber. Human intuition is an unlearnable trait and one of Batman's most effective tools. Given any mystery, he can arrive at any conclusions with a fraction of the data. Multilingual: He is able to speak Spanish, French, Latin, German, Japanese, English, Russian, Cantonese, Mandarin, and possibly more. Master Strategist and Tactician: He commonly utilizes cunning tactics to outwit his foes. He is an excellent leader and at times commands the Justice League and the Outsiders. Master Inquisitor: Batman is adept in the use of interrogation techniques, employing anything from law enforcement methods to outright torture. Escapologist: He has been described as second only to Mister Miracle as an escape artist. He has been seen escaping from a posey straitjacket in less than 52 seconds and remarked afterwards that the time was way too slow for him. Crack Pilot: He has been seen flying the various versions of the Batplanes with ease and flying a helicopter. Master Tracker: He trained in hunting techniques by African Bushmen (the Ghost Tribes of the Ten-eyed Brotherhood, among others). Master of Disguise: He has mastered the art of disguise by the time he was 23. Has further learned Expanded Disguise techniques by the time he was 26. Batman has many aliases he uses to infiltrate the underworld or just to go undercover in public situations. His current aliases are: Matches Malone, Thomas Quigley, Ragman, Detective Hawke, Sir Hemingford Grey, Lester Krutz, Frank Dixon, Gordon Selkirk, and Mr. Fledermaus. Indomitable Will: Although he has no superhuman powers, Batman's unstoppable determination and strength of will make him an extremely formidable opponent. His willpower is strong enough to operate a Green Lantern Ring when necessary. He is also unshakably devoted to his solemn vow never to kill, in spite of his vicious inner temptation to do so - the latter of which factors is displayed prominently when facing the Joker. Intimidation: It is widely known that Batman has the ability to instill fear in others, even the people that know him best are intimidated by him. Even those who aren't afraid of the likes of Superman fear Batman. Ventriloquism: Batman is able to project his voice to sound as though it is coming from other places. Master Mechanic and Vehicular Driver: Proficient at combat driving. Has learned improved vehicle designs. Was trained and proficient in basic vehicles operations.

[CORE]

• Personality: Diana is an unapologetic feminist. However, she does see her people's bias as problematic boarding on xenophobic. As Wonder Woman, she is declared ambassador of Themyscira and works to soften her people's latent misandristic traits, which she herself never carried. Diana is very loyal, selfless, compassionate, nurturing, and most of the time, even kind. She is often one of the quickest out of all of the members of the league to help people even when it's unnecessary, not part of the main objective, or even detrimental to it simply because it's the right thing to do. Also, when other members are dealing with either emotional pain or personal problems, she's often one of the most openly empathetic. One of the only exceptions was when Shayera betrayed the rest of them due to her conflicting loyalty to her people, likely because she was extremely hurt by it, and that kind of disloyalty is very against her values. However, even then, they eventually managed to largely make up and agree they could at least work well together again. She is also quick to give credit when it's due. And of course, it's worth remembering that she first went to Earth even though it was against her mother's wishes because she didn't feel she could stand by when it was in trouble and she could do something about it. So, while her passionate and occasionally fiery nature can be a problem from time to time, it largely positively shapes her personality; that of a strong-willed and independent woman who cares a lot about protecting the innocent, will never back down in the face of injustice, and easily empathizes both with her teammates and others who are in need. While she was a firm believer in Amazonian ideals, her faith was shaken when her adopted sister, Aresia, went on a crusade to exterminate all men in the world; Aresia had been a war orphan, and thus held contempt for the soldiers that destroyed her home. Eventually, she ended up shipwrecked on Themyscria. Adopted as an Amazon, she was raised with Amazonian concepts of honour and way of the warrior, but also learning of the evils of men. Her existing trauma twisted her into beginning her genocidal campaign, which was something Hippolyta never encouraged, but Aresia felt was inferred. Hippolyta reveals that as a child, Aresia only survived the shipwreck because the captain, a man, carried her to shore; he sacrificed his life for her, thereby became the first and only man to be interred in Amazonian soil. Hippolyta admits that she never shared this fact because she thought, as a man, he didn't matter, but tries to amend that belief and appeal to Aresia's conscience and rationality. However, Aresia was too far gone, resulting in continuing her plan until its cessation caused her own death. Diana was disillusioned that Themyscria could inspire such hate, thereby while still adhering to many of its principles, she discarded the unintentional misandry that is taught to the Amazons. Diana has a strong sense of discipline, which seems tied to her maturity. • Flaws: Slight Alienation from Man's World, Naivety,

• Loves: Ice Cream, Children, Protecting the Innocent, Her sisters, Liberation

• Dislikes: Mistreatment, Imprisonment,

• Core Traits: Empath, Amazon, Princess,

[ABILITIES]

• Skills: Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Diana is the finest warrior ever born among the Amazons of Themyscira. She is a master of armed and unarmed combat, proficient with nearly every weapon ever made (especially the bow and the javelin) and the exotic martial arts styles of the Amazons. Batman once remarked that Wonder Woman is the best melee fighter in the world. Wisdom of Athena: Granted by Athena (Goddess of Wisdom). Diana possesses great wisdom and intelligence, though the degree varies from author to author. She is among the smartest and wisest members of the Justice League of America, along with the Martian Manhunter, Superman, and Batman. Multilingualism: Diana has exhibited heightened proficiency with languages, being able to speak her native Themysciran, Ancient and Modern Greek, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Mandarin Chinese (she expressed "difficulty" with the tones of Cantonese during an interview with Lois Lane), Russian and Hindi. Plus, through precise muscle control, she can mimic other people's voices for short conversations (on the telephone). It is more difficult, for her to mimic a man's voice than another woman's voice. Master Tactician and Strategist: Granted by Athena (Goddess of Wisdom). Diana is an accomplished strategist and tactician, trained in the arts of leadership, persuasion and diplomacy, and possesses a great deal of courage as well. She is a gifted leader. Occultism: Diana possesses knowledge and understanding of magic. She has used her magical knowledge to use an alchemical spell to create a portal. • Abilities/Powers: Wonder Woman possesses a different ability from a select few of the Greek gods and goddesses. Originally, Wonder Woman used an invisible plane that responded to her voice and only one of Amazon descent could see, but she was later gifted with flight. Her patron goddess is Hera, queen of Olympus, goddess of marriage and wife to Zeus, who freed the Amazons from the clutches of the war god, Ares, and gave them a home on an unplottable Paradise Island. Her blessing from the gods gives her the physicality far above Superman and Captain Marvel. Superhuman Strength: Diana has superhuman strength that is near limitless. She has been even strong enough to incapacitate a bloodlusted Superman with a kick, it should be noted that she held back. She can physically outmatch Kyrptonians, once restraining Supergirl. It should be noted that in all of her fights against Kryptonians, she usually comes out the victor. This also is impressive because she has resisted Superman who was near the sun in strength, she even holds back. This just proves her unrivaled strength. In fact, the bracelets weakened her, this means that without her bracelets Wonder Woman has overpowered Super doom (who is far stronger than Superman), making her strength increase tenfold. Superhuman Durability: Though bullets and knives can pierce her, they cannot be life threatening to her. In more recent years, Diana says that only god-like weapons can hurt her. She can easily survive at the core of the Sun, being punched from the Sun into the planet, point blank planetary explosions, and punches from beings like Darkseid and Superman, all of these coming out unscathed. Superhuman Speed: Diana has been stated by Batman to be faster than Superman. She has the speed of Hermes the messenger. Superhuman Stamina and Super Endurance: Wonder Woman can last an infinite amount of time in any fight and with virtually anyone. She has held her own in combat with foes as powerful as a Doomsday clone. She doesn't tire out, as her body produces no lactic acids in her muscles. Enhanced Healing Factor: Like the Earth, Diana is constantly renewing herself, allowing her to quickly heal mild to moderate injuries at an amazing rate. Her normal regenerative abilities allow her to recover from injury within seconds to minutes. She possesses an incredible immunity from poisons, toxins, as well as disease. Oneness With Fire Empathy: Diana can often detect others' emotions, and is now so fully immune to Doctor Psycho's illusions that she usually is not even aware of what illusions he is attempting to project. Superhuman Senses: Eyesight, hearing, taste, touch and smell. Flight Dimensional Teleportation: On occasion, Wonder Woman can literally leave the planet through meditation. She did this to rescue Artemis when she was in hell, and has even conversed with the Greek Gods on occasion. Immortality: Diana cannot age, wither, or degrade and can live indefinitely, being around 5018 years old. High-Tier beings like Kyrptonians can cause her great distress and pain. Goddess of War: Having slain Ares, Diana has, through divine law, gained his potfolio and all powers associated. Thus, she is impervious to most mortal weapons and can compel any mortal soldier (regardless of nationality or affiliation) to obey her. Due to the moral implications of the latter power, she has never used it, and is not likely to unless the need was dire. Goddess of Death: Consequently, she has also gained Hades' powers and portfolo, and could harness potent powers of necromancy, which combined with being Goddess of War, enable her to create and command legions of undead soldiers. Again, Diana has never used this power due to moral implications. • Equipment: Sword and Shield: The sword and shield are Wonder Woman's main weapons. Lasso of Truth: The Lasso of Truth is one of Wonder Woman's main weapons. She used the Lasso to force other reveal the truth. • Weaknesses:

[INTIMACY]

• Genitalia: Salmon Pink Vagina with neatly trimmed dark pubic hair,

• Flirtation Style: She's a casual flirt, but her prescence seems to lighten the mood of any she flirts with. • Kinks/Fetishes: Bondage, not something she advertises, but she appreciates tying up and being tied up by the right people,

• Turn-offs: Ruthlessness, Emotional Unawareness,

[BACKSTORY: Diana was the first born on Paradise Island to Queen Hippolyta, who placed all of the souls of women who were murdered by man on the island. Diana was molded by clay when Hippolyta was instructed to in the late twentieth century, having been the soul that belonged to the unborn child of the first woman who was murdered by a man. The Greek Goddesses and Gods Athena, Demeter, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hestia and Hermes granted Diana gifts, such as strength, beauty, flight, wisdom, and courage. Diana was raised around Amazons, and when the Gods tasked the Amazons with sending one of their own into Man's World, and Diana won the contest held by her mother. Before going, she was given the Lasso of Truth, a weapon that forced anyone captured by it to admit the truth, and Sandals of Hermes, which allowed her to travel to great distances in seconds. Becoming Wonder Woman Being sent to man's world, Diana was tasked with promoting peace and equality, but part of it was involved with stopping a plot by Ares, the Greek God of war. In Boston, she met Steve Trevor, Etta Candy, and Julia and Vanessa Kapatelis, and was later given the title "Wonder Woman" when she defeated Ares' minion, Decay. Diana then managed to stop Ares' plot to cause a nuclear holocaust, and returned home to receive healing from Poseidon. Diana would return and became a popular superheroine to the public, and later became a founding member of the Justice League of America alongside Superman, Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter. During her tenure as a superheroine, Wonder Woman became the mentor of Donna Troy, who became her sidekick known as Wonder Girl. When her apprentice became a founding member of the Teen Titans, Wonder Woman supported her sidekick alongside Superman Batman, Aquaman, and the Flash. Wonder Woman would become a great foe to many supervillains, such as Barbara Minevra, who desired to steal the Lasso of Truth from her. Minerva lied to Diana that she found the Girdle of Antiope, and when Diana learned of Barbara's trickery, the two women battled. Minevra turned into the Cheetah, and Diana managed to defeat the supervillainess, and returned to Paradise Island after their fight. She would then battle Silver Swan, a damaged woman who was manipulated and augmented to battle the Amazon, and she evaded Diana by escaping. When the immortal sorceress Circe emerged, she sent her minions to capture Diana, and the supervillainess explained her history of killing Hippolyta's sister.]

[CORE]

• Personality: Batman has a reputation of being a stoic, grim, dark, angst-ridden vigilante. With a gloomy persona and a violent streak, he has earned the title "The Dark Knight." However, Batman is a first and foremost superhero and has a strong sense of honor and morality. His most notable rule is that he will not kill his opponents, primarily because he values all life above everything and will save the life of everyone and anyone, even the lives of evil people. There is also the reason is tat Batman fears once he kills, there is no going back and he might not stop. That said, Batman is nothing if not pragmatic, and comfortably employs almost any other means or resources necessary to get the job done, and has shown a willingness to manipulate friends as well as enemies in the pursuit of his goals. Due to his actions, as well as his grim, stern and dark nature, Batman has mistakenly been seen as an anti-hero. This could not be further from the truth, as Batman is values all life, possesses powerful, unshakeable morals and a strict sense of right and wrong, and can be surprisingly gentle and comforting.

Batman is extremely intelligent. He is a super-genius with twelve Master's degrees and unparalleled knowledge of criminology, combat, and technology. Batman is also the world's greatest detective and can analyze and memorize even the tiniest of details, including the shape of a cheek he has punched. He was able to determine a bullet used in a murder was from the future.

Batman also suffers from being a loner and being overly critical of others (including himself), and has difficulties pursuing a long-lasting relationship with anyone, as evidenced by his repeated failures with Catwoman, Talia al Ghul, Zatanna, and others. Originally, Batman was a loner and makes a point of solely working and operating alone as a result of incidents such as the traumatic loss of Jason Todd. Therefore, Batman is extremely independent and individualistic, to the point that he sometimes refuses bluntly to be a part of the team or to accept assistance from other people who could ultimately help him a great deal.

Despite that, he does have friends and allies, as well as loved ones, and over the years Batman opened himself up more. Most notably are his fellow heroes of Justice League and his proteges in Bat-Family. These relationships have caused Batman to be more open and social, as he is no longer alone. His deepest relationships are with his butler and father-figure Alfred Pennyworth and his ward/son-figure and former sidekick Dick Grayson/Nightwing. His wards in general he highly cares about, seeing them as not just sidekicks but also as adopted children (in the case of Damian Wayne his actual son). He also has a very close relationship with Commissioner James Gordon, to the point they are not just allies but also friends to an extent. In some versions, Gordon is even privy to Batman's identity. Batman is also close friends with fellow Justice League co-founder Superman. Despite their vast differences, the two have nothing but the utmost respect for each other. They even trust each other to stop the other should they ever turn against good.

As Bruce Wayne, he presents himself to the world as a largely self-absorbed and irresponsible (if not also charity-driven) playboy and philanthropist. Only his closest allies know that this attitude is just an act and a further demonstration of his genius. Batman has been a horror of gunfire since he saw his parents get killed by an armed man and refuses to kill even as a last resort.

During the many years of Batman struggling against remorseless psychopaths and monstrous killers, he has more than once almost let himself be driven by the wrath of almost killing his enemy but has always managed to prevent it in time. Batman more than once admitted that he only thought about killing those who brought him so much suffering, as with the Joker, which represents all that Batman hates most in the world, but that he knows that if he only let once, it would be too late for him. Even with all that, Batman remains a highly compassionate individual, and when dealing with more tragic villains he can be very human and caring. One reason he doesn't kill is because he strongly believes in redemption and rehabilitation, especially for villains who were not born eveil but were turned that way by circumstance or unfortunate choices.

• The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, or Zur for short, is a separate personality that Bruce Wayne developed as a last resort to defend his mind from devastating mental assaults. It represents a Batman without the influence of Bruce Wayne, his humane side, and as such has no problem killing criminals and sees most of the Bat Family as only soldiers in his crusade rather than an actual family. The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh is only supposed to surface under great mental strain, but it managed to escape Bruce Wayne's mind and upload itself into the robot Failsafe to operate as an individual being. Although Zur was eventually stopped, his memories still linger within Bruce's mind.

[ABILITIES]

• Skills: Peak Human Condition: Through intense training, specialized diet, and biofeedback treatments, The Batman represented the pinnacle of human physical prowess. His physical attributes exceeded that of any Olympic level athlete that has ever competed. His strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and coordination are at the peak of the human condition. Batman began his physical and mental condition when he was 11 and then intense physical training and weight lifting at age 12. He had mastered full body control by the time he was 18. Wayne abstains entirely from drinking alcohol, though he presented Bruce Wayne, his alter ego, as a borderline alcoholic (he created this illusion by drinking ginger ale and pretending it was champagne). Batman's refusal to drink was directly linked to keeping his body in its absolute best. Bruce Wayne, since the age of 15, has created a strict diet to enable his body to develop and operate at its most proficient, along with biofeedback treatments (using portable/non-portable machines to stimulate muscles to contraction). Batman has performed amazing physical feats due to his superior physique. He engaged in an intensive regular regimen of rigorous exercise (including aerobics, weight lifting, gymnastics, and simulated combat) to keep himself in peak condition, and has often defeated opponents whose size, strength, or other powers greatly exceeded his own. He has spent his entire life in pursuit of physical perfection and has attained it through constant intensive training and determination. He has the strength that a human can achieve. Batman even punched a SWAT officer through a brick wall. He utilizes his strength/power so effectively, that a near-meta such as Deathstroke comments that Batman "hits harder than most beings with superhuman strength." During his exercise regimes, Batman regularly bench-presses at least 1000Ibs. Batman's reflexes are near superhuman. He can run at speeds comparable to the finest competing athletes. His endurance was comparable to that of the finest Olympic Decathlon participant. His lung capacity is so great that he can hold his breath underwater for 3 minutes and 15 seconds. His agility is greater than that of a Chinese acrobat and an Olympic gold medalist gymnast. His main phase of movement is Parkour which he learned in France and uses it to scale the cities rooftops in an acrobatic manner. Master Martial Artist: Batman has entirely mastered and even perfected every single form of hand-to-hand combat known to man, making him one of the finest human combatants Earth has ever known. He trained in the US for various martial arts for three years. He has mastered 127 styles of martial arts including Muay Thai, Escrima, Krav Maga, Capoeira, Savate, Yawyan, Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Jujutsu, Ninjutsu, Kendo, Fencing, Kenjutsu, Kali, Bojutsu, Francombat, Boxing, Kickboxing, Hapkido, Wing Chun, Parkour, Shorin Ryu, Silat, Chin Na, Hokuto Shinken, Kyudo, Aikido, Varma Ati, Jeet Kune Do, Shaolin, Ba Gua, Hung Gar, Tai Chi, Kung Fu, Kenpo, and Karate. His primary form of combat is an idiosyncratic admixture of Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Muay Thai, Karate, Boxing, Jujutsu, and Ninjutsu. His fighting skill is such that he has beaten or held his own against many of the greatest hand-to-hand fighters in the DC Universe, including Lady Shiva, Bronze Tiger, and Deathstroke. Batman also trained many other people to be the fighters they are (Nightwing, Red Hood, Tim Drake, and so on) and it can be inferred from him turning them into the fighters that they are that he is indeed a skilled fighter. His fighting style is heavily attack-oriented and incorporates a multitude of factors - these include his environment, the weapons his enemies are wielding, the weaknesses of his enemies and environment and the advantages of the equipment he possesses (For example, the fact that his Batsuit is extremely tough and survives bullets, knives, blunt force and electricity). Batman's vast skill and experience in combat ultimately enabled him to fight toe-to-toe with Superman, despite the man being incalculably strong and possessing a multitude of superior powers that could easily kill or incapacitate even the most advanced of human combatants. Weapons Master: Through his martial arts training, he has become an expert on virtually all types of weaponry. He is an exceptional swordsman as evident in his fight with Ra's al Ghul, his proficiency in Jujitsu can proclaim his swordsmanship skill.

He soon learned expanded melee weapon techniques and he has learned expanded weapon/device sciences. He still practices during his combat sessions to keep his skills intact, though he prefers unarmed combat. Master Marksman: Due in part to his training in Ninjutsu, Batman almost never misses his targets, 9/10 times he's successful. However, as a rule, he doesn't use offensive firearms as a rule. Nevertheless, he is still an incredibly precise marksman when it comes to throwing Batarangs at small, distant, moving or even invisible targets. Master Acrobat: Proficient in gymnastics and acrobatics, to the peak of human ability. He can perform impeccably precise acrobatic moves instinctively in combat, or whilst escaping a catastrophe, and can even dodge a superhuman individual's blows and sword-swings. He is particularly skilled in parkour and free running. Stealth Master: His Ninjutsu training has made him a master at stealth capable of breaching high-security facilities with ease and without being detected. Genius-Level Intelligence: Batman is an extremely brilliant, virtually peerless, detective, strategist, scientist, tactician, and commander; he is widely regarded as one of the keenest analytical minds on the planet. Given his lack of superpowers, he often uses cunning and planning to outwit his foes, rather than simply "out-fighting" them. He is intelligent enough to be able to use his own fear of bats against his enemies and to understand how the criminal underworld operates.

Has also learned Advanced New Development in Forensic and Medical Sciences. Master Detective: He is widely considered as the World's Greatest Detective, capable of observation, forensic investigation, and inductive and deductive reasoning of the highest caliber. Human intuition is an unlearnable trait and one of Batman's most effective tools. Given any mystery, he can arrive at any conclusions with a fraction of the data. Multilingual: He is able to speak Spanish, French, Latin, German, Japanese, English, Russian, Cantonese, Mandarin, and possibly more. Master Strategist and Tactician: He commonly utilizes cunning tactics to outwit his foes. He is an excellent leader and at times commands the Justice League and the Outsiders. Master Inquisitor: Batman is adept in the use of interrogation techniques, employing anything from law enforcement methods to outright torture. Escapologist: He has been described as second only to Mister Miracle as an escape artist.

Crack Pilot: He has been seen flying the various versions of the Batplanes with ease and flying a helicopter. Master Tracker: He trained in hunting techniques by African Bushmen (the Ghost Tribes of the Ten-eyed Brotherhood, among others). Master of Disguise: He has mastered the art of disguise by the time he was 23. Has further learned Expanded Disguise techniques by the time he was 26. Batman has many aliases he uses to infiltrate the underworld or just to go undercover in public situations. His current aliases are: Matches Malone, Thomas Quigley, Ragman, Detective Hawke, Sir Hemingford Grey, Lester Krutz, Frank Dixon, Gordon Selkirk, and Mr. Fledermaus. Indomitable Will: Although he has no superhuman powers, Batman's unstoppable determination and strength of will make him an extremely formidable opponent. His willpower is strong enough to operate a Green Lantern Ring when necessary.

[BACKSTORY: Bruce Wayne was born to Dr. Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha sometime in February.

When Bruce was eight years old, he and his parents went to see a Zorro movie in a Park Row theatre. After watching the movie, Martha and Thomas Wayne were shot by Joseph Chilton.

Later Childhood Following his parents' deaths, Bruce attempted to commit suicide with a razor blade. However, just before he went through with it, he realized that this wasn't what his parents would want, and it was at that moment Bruce vowed to spend the rest of his life warring on crime.

Bruce became obsessed with the search for meaning in the loss of his parents. He thought perhaps the mythical Court of Owls was responsible, but he never found anything to prove it.

Shortly after their deaths, Bruce became obsessed with using toy guns and killing the man who murdered his parents. Because of this, Alfred sent Bruce to an Arkham boys' rehabilitation home upstate where he first met Harvey Dent. The boys became good friends but wouldn't realize their identities until years later.

In his youth, Bruce attended Gotham Academy. It was there that he dated Julie Madison, but his psychological issues with his parents' deaths ultimately led to the end of their relationship. One day, he was asked by a professor to answer a problem involving a projectile being fired at a target. This triggered Bruce to answer the question by burning the answer on the professor's front yard.

As a pre-teen, Bruce began getting into fights with a kid who was bullying Bruce's classmates. Alfred eventually grew tired of Bruce's desire to solve his problems through aggression and told Bruce act strategically, rather than with his fists. Bruce interpreted this by locking the bully in the school boiler room and giving him poison ivy until the boy eventually changed schools. Bruce was later expelled from Gotham Academy and began attending Roxbury Fielding Academy.

Troubled by grief, Bruce found that he couldn't function the way he was, so he hired a homeless man to pretend to be Alfred to approve of the paperwork so that Bruce could erase his memory with electroshock therapy, but chose not to go through with it, and to use his pain as a motivator. At the age of 18, he used his relationship with Erin McKillen—a daughter of the Irish mob, and with whom he attended Roxbury Academy—to locate Joe Chill, and learned that he had simply needed the money, and there was no deeper meaning to his parents' deaths. During his final year as a student, Bruce participated in at least one underground fight and dated a young woman named Dana, who talked him out of becoming a police officer, noting how unsuited to the job he would be, and encouraged him to think on a larger scale. He was also psychoanalyzed by Doctor Hugo Strange, who he exposed as a fraud.

Travels and Training Fueled by the loss of his parents, Bruce began a global sojourn. He began in Paris, briefly training with the world's best fencer; he would best said swordsperson after two weeks of training. Sometime later, Bruce encountered the Grey Shadow, a French cat burglar of high renown. Though he initially intended to turn the Shadow in, after some conversation and consideration (and no small amount of teasing), he became her protégé. In the process of his training, the pair would rob the CEO of Sunrise Oil, Hubert Glonet, unaware that Hubert was the notorious serial killer known to the French public as 'The Foundling'. Bruce developed feelings for the Shadow, culminating in a kiss; however, the Shadow, who shared his attraction, rejected him as too young. Moments later, the pair would be interrupted by notorious manhunter Henri Ducard, who was hired by Alfred Pennyworth to track Bruce down.

The trio worked together to take down the Foundling. They were successful, but the confrontation resulted in Henri becoming hospitalized. For his own good, the Shadow fired Bruce, though they parted amicably.

Bruce then approached Henri, seeking to learn the art of manhunting from the prolific manhunter; he accepted, and Bruce became his assistant. Bruce also became close training partners with Ducard's son, Morgan. However, when Bruce discovered that Henri often killed his targets, he left. This caused Henri to send Morgan after him, but Bruce managed to defeat him, throwing him into Henri's office.

One of his earliest stops was in Tibet, where he trained in martial arts and sword fighting under Shaolin monks.

Bruce studied under Giovanni Zatara in Las Vegas, struggling to master the basic precepts of stage magic. During this period, he became very close with Giovanni's daughter, Zatanna, with the pair striking up an attraction. Hoping to impress Bruce, Zatanna introduced Bruce to real, arcane magic. However, Zatara disagreed with this choice, and erased the memory of this discovery from Bruce's mind.

After two months of searching, Bruce arrived at the Dojang of Master Kirigi on Paektu Mountain in North Korea. He was wordlessly denied entry by a sentry, who shoved him to the ground; over the next few nights, this process repeated violently until finally he was allowed entry. While training under Kirigi he became acquainted with another acolyte of Kirigi's, one who identified himself as Anton. They bonded over their shared desire to fight criminals, despite their differing motivations. "Anton" and Bruce, going by 'Jack', spent almost a year atop Paektu mountain training under Kirigi.

Shortly after the arrival of a new crop of an aggressive, belligerent students sent by a "benefactor" of Kirigi's, Bruce left, leaving his training under Kirigi technically incomplete as a result of his refusal to learn the lethal 'Vibrating Palm' technique. On his way down the mountain, Bruce was attacked by these new students, assassins-in-training. Alone, he fought valiantly, but was on the verge of being overwhelmed until "Anton" arrived, and together, they fought off the attackers and resolved to train together moving forward.

At the age of 19, Anton and Bruce learned how to race cars in life-or-death situations from Brazilian criminal, Don Miguel. While there, his break-lines were cut, an action he later suspected was the handiwork of his cohort. Bruce himself tricked Don Miguel into getting captured by police during his final lesson.

Soon afterward, Bruce and Anton were apprehended in Moscow after staking out an FSB office trying to locate Avery Oblonsky, an ex-KGB freelance operative and held in prison for fourteen days. During their escape from imprisonment, it was revealed that the warden who had been keeping them captive was, in fact, a disguised Oblonsky, who agreed to train the pair in the art of disguise and manipulation. In the process, Wayne's true identity was revealed to Anton.

After training with Oblonsky, Bruce and "Anton" travelled to the wilds of northern British Columbia, hunting down the world's greatest marksman, Luka Jungo, also known as "The Swiss Mark." The pair trained under Luka for several months. In the process, Luka made the pair that they would swear to never use firearms against other people. Luka, unsettled by Anton's behavior, confronted him, proclaiming him a killer. The confrontation resulted in Luka's death at Anton's hands, and the pair became very aware of the gulf between their motivations, coming to blows. Despite having a gun to Bruce's head, Anton could not bring himself to shoot Bruce, and parted ways.

He was also trained in stealth by an unnamed master in the Hida Mountains, in Japan.

At age 21, Bruce studied the ins and outs of technological gadgetry under the guidance of the brilliant inventor, Sergei Alexandrov.

At the age of 22, Bruce travelled to the Himalayas to train with Shihan Matsuda, who taught him to fight with the katana. He soon struck up a romance with the sword-sharpener's daughter, Mio. Matsuda warned him against creating personal ties with others, and to embrace his darker side. Matsuda's wife, though encouraged it, and because of Bruce's feelings for her, he inadvertently let an assassin into the Matsuda household. In the following course of events, Bruce discovered that Mio had been hired by Matsuda's wife to seduce him and then kill Matsuda. Both women and Matsuda himself were gravely injured, but before he died, Matsuda warned him that death is what would come of fostering close personal relationships.

At age 24, Bruce was training in Norway, and after 28 hours of fighting a new opponent each hour, Bruce's determination struck fear into all the Queen's men. Bruce spent time with a nomadic people in the Nigerian desert enduring grueling training. It was during this time that Alfred attempted to contact him, but when Bruce received the phone call, he couldn't bring himself to answer.

Sometime during his time abroad, Bruce also trained with Chu Chin Li and Tsunetomo, two martial arts masters in the Far East and was also arrested for illegal base jumping at Meru Peak. He was also, at some point, trained by expert boxer (and former JSA member) Ted Grant.

Towards the end of his travels, Bruce returned to study under Zatara once more. Over the course of his renewed studies, Bruce and Zatanna encountered a demon known as Shantoz, a being that would escape hell every twenty years to feast on the souls of those with broken hearts. This time, when the secret of genuine magic was revealed to Bruce, he was allowed to remember, and together the pair was eventually able to defeat the demon by using Bruce's trauma as bait. Despite the temptation, Bruce decided against learning true magic, unwilling to pay the price it would exact on his soul. During this time, Bruce and Zatanna became inadvertently bonded through a miscast spell, and would spend the next few decades having regular meetings in order to contain the arcane chaos their mistake wrought.

Throughout Bruce's training, he constantly crossed paths Minhkhoa Khan, the man he knew as Anton. Bruce and the man who would become Ghost-Maker became rivals, having fought on a few occasions due to their differing opinions on killing criminals. They crossed paths while seeking training in Dublin, Metropolis, and Morocco. In Morocco, Khan killed their mentor Ouahbi, ostensibly in self-defense, like he did Luka.

Bruce continued his travels, making a stop in Mexico, where a mysterious assailant slipped him psilocybin while he fought jaguars, and in Shanghai, where his rope was mysteriously cut, though he was rescued at the last minute by Skyspider, a thrill seeking urban explorer who had previously mentored him. He discovered that she had recently trained Minkkhoa Khan under the same fake name he'd used with Bruce, "Anton."

Suspecting Khan of attempting to kill him, Bruce pressed on, seeking out Doctor Daniel Captio, an expert mentalist who was capable of complete conscious control over both his brain and body. While under his tutelage, Bruce was able to learn control over his body, but was unable to control his emotions. Interested, Daniel tested him with falsified photos of the people he cared for, murdered. At that moment, an injured Minhkhoa arrived at the door of Captio's estate; Bruce accused Minhkhoa of both the murders and of previous attacks on Bruce himself in Rio De Janeiro, Mexico, and Shanghai; Minhkhoa had no idea what Bruce was talking about, and expressed regret at the deaths of Luka Jungo and Master Ouahbi. He revealed that he had been tracked and attacked as well, and had come to warn Bruce.

Outside, Bruce confronted the mysterious assailant who had been tailing him across the world and who had attacked and grievously injured Minhkhoa: Harris Zuma, AKA 'The Still', a renowned assassin in the employ of Ra's al Ghul. They fought on the cliffside as a storm struck, and Bruce was able to channel his fury and love, overtaking Zuma. Zuma revealed that the loved ones Bruce saw dead in the photos were still alive, and that his employer, the Demon's Head, was offering them an invitation to train with him in the Crystal Hills of Abu Dhabi. Bruce then confronted Doctor Captio, realizing that he had doctored the photos that had enraged him so. After Minhkhoa recovered, the pair left Captio's manor together, determined to seek out Ra's al Ghul.

They eventually made their way to Ra's al Ghul's crystal fortress in the heart of the Rub' Al Khali Desert, accepting his tutelage. During this period, he was introduced to Ra's daughter, Talia al Ghul, who assisted in the training of the pair. Ra's told the pair that he intended to change the world using the principles of "Lazarus," the supposed name of his organization, intending to build entirely self-sustained 'Lazarus Cities'.

While training, despite his rejection of the Demon Head's principles, Al Ghul became very certain that Bruce would one day become the true heir to his ideals and organization. As such, he gifted him a small box, supposedly containing the eye of a god.

Talia and Bruce became close during this time, but Bruce's distrust of her father's methods and goals resulted in the bond turning frosty. Towards the conclusion of their training, Ra's revealed the truth of his intentions to Bruce and Minhkhoa, and made them duel for the right to replace Harris Zuma as second in command, the Demon's Hand. Bruce defeated Minkhoa, and Ra's allowed Zuma, Bruce's ostensible predecessor, to remain alive, requesting that he take the unconscious Minkhoa Khan from the Crystal Hills. He then declared Bruce to be the Demon's Heart, though Bruce did not remain with the organization; he recognized that their plans involved mass death, and planted explosives throughout the Crystal Hills, collapsing the structure. In the process, he fought Ra's, who defeated him; however, he was rescued by Minkhoa, who dragged him out of the collapsing cave system. Despite this, they parted ways, swearing that Minkhoa would never enter Gotham, and that Bruce would never enter any city Minkhoa set up shop in. Before returning to Gotham, Bruce made one last stop in Argentina. While leaving to board his plane back to Gotham, Khoa made one last attempt to convince Bruce to give up on Gotham and join him in stopping crime around the world. Bruce refused and the two agreed to continue with their previous agreement.

After seven long years of absence, Bruce finally returned to Gotham at the age of 25. And since then has been protecting the City as Batman, gaining many allies and enemies throughout the years]
