About Batman[]

Bruce Thomas Wayne was born in Gotham City, New Jersey, the only child to Dr. Thomas and Martha Wayne, and the latest descendant in the city's generationally prominent and wealthy Wayne family. One night, after seeing a rousing adventure film, the Wayne family exited the theater through an alleyway and was confronted by street mugger Joseph “Joe Chill” Chilton. When Thomas tried to stop the mugger from stealing his wife's pearl necklace, he shot both Thomas and his wife right in front of 8-year old Bruce's eyes. Running away in fear of what he had done, Chilton was never brought to justice.

On that very night, on the street stained with his parents' blood, young Bruce made a vow to rid Gotham of the evil that had taken his parents' lives. He swore that what happened to him would never happen to anyone else again. Using his unnaturally strong will and his family's extensive wealth, he spent the next 10-12 years traveling the world, seeking out the best minds in martial arts, criminology, escapology (from John Zatara), disguise, and the craft of detecting. He toned his body and mind to the peak of human physical and mental perfection. Upon his return to Gotham, after an unsuccessful first night as a crime fighter, he sat in his father's study as a bat burst through the window.

From his teachings, he remembered that criminals are superstitious and cowardly. Adopting the frightening image of the creature that had ominously come to him, he would strike terror into the hearts of those who committed evil in his domain. It was this symbol that brought about the birth of the Batman.

From there, he made a name for himself as a symbol of vengeance and righteousness in Gotham. From muggers to crime lords, no-one was safe from the Batman. Soon enough, the advent of super-criminals would emerge to rival him at every turn. The Joker, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Bane and several others would prove substantial enemies, with some even besting him at times, but Batman has always managed to pull through in the end.

Batman would also construct a massive web of allies: in the Gotham City Police Department, there are James Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Renee Montoya and others; in his personal group of heroes patrolling Gotham, there exist his pupils like Robin, Nightwing, and Red Hood, as well as people from outside his jurisdiction like Batgirl; and then, last but not least, there are the numerous members of the Justice League, the worldwide super-team which Batman has found and guided for several years.

Biography[]

Main (Injustice)[]

After watching his parents gunned down before his eyes, young Bruce Wayne swore to exact vengeance on the criminal element, disguised as a fearsome creature of the night - Batman.

Insurgency (Injustice)[]

After being betrayed by long time friend Superman (the latter of whom asked the former to be the godfather to his child), who was drugged by The Joker, Batman was forced to go underground and form the Insurgency. His only goal is to end the High Councilor’s tyrannical rule of Earth.

Injustice 2[]

Even after being exposed to the world as Batman, Bruce Wayne keeps his vow to avenge his parents’ death by fighting for justice. He refuses to execute his enemies, believing that he’s no better than the cowards he battles once he crosses that line, which is proven right by Superman’s actions during the Regime’s time in power.

Storyline[]

Injustice:[]

The soon-to-be Insurgency Batman is seen interrogating the Joker after the Joker just nuked Metropolis, demanding to know where the Joker got the nuke, but this interrogation is halted by Superman, who soon murders the Joker after being provoked by him just like what is detailed in the comic.

The primary world's Batman is seen on his own present visiting Arkham Asylum while Lex's assault is continuing on. Batman investigates to see if Luthor broke his Joker out of Arkham, when he receives a distress call from his former sidekick and Robin, Nightwing. Batman sees a trap at the Joker's cell door, which he foils, and sees that the Joker was indeed broken out. However, the real trap was behind Batman in the form of Deathstroke, whom Batman proceeds to defeat. Batman tries contacting Nightwing, but he does not respond, alerting Batman. After breaking through Luthor's encryption on the Watchtower, Batman fights Bane and has Luthor alone. As Lex charges towards him, Batman throws explosive Batarangs at him until Lex is overpowered by them. A fight ensues, and Batman prevails and uses a gadget that shuts down Lex's armor. As soon as this happens, Lex reveals that the Joker and Harley Quinn have a nuke primed in Metropolis.

Batman sends out a warning and beams over to the Joker, who takes it off standby and almost activates the nuke, but they are both transported into a different Metropolis (it is implied that the Joker was intentionally transported in order to prevent history from repeating itself). An enraged Joker fights Batman, but loses. The Regime's troops surround Batman and the Joker, however, Batman escapes using his sonar disruptor and smoke grenades. After watching a conversation between troops from a rooftop, Batman exclaims "I'm in a nightmare".

As Green Arrow, Wonder Woman and Hal Jordan escape the alternate world's GCPD, they meet up with the Insurgency Batman. After this, Batman fills them in on what was going on, and completes his explanation and explains his plan to overthrow Superman once Aquaman returned from Atlantis, introducing the 5-U-93-R pill. He also reveals that his Lex Luthor is an insider for the Insurgency and pretends to be working with Superman. He explains his weapon to defeat Superman, which can only be unlocked from the guarded Wayne Manor Batcave, and that he brought them over to do it as they were monitoring Aquaman and co. world, and that the Joker's nuke failed to explode.

Meanwhile, the main world's Batman catches up to his Joker, but the Joker attacks Batman and defeats him. Hawkgirl and the Yellow Lantern apprehend Batman, still believing him to be the one from their world, and take him into custody. Regime Superman and Wonder Woman congratulate Hal for his work, but Superman sees that this is the Batman from elsewhere, and then interrogates Batman to find out why they are there.

Insurgency Batman receives a distress beacon from Harleen and the Joker Clan in Arkham, and he and the others arrive, forcing the Regime to retreat. Batman realizes that the Joker was transported to his world too, which means in effect that the Normal Batman is there too, which means they have to find him. Insurgency Batman locks the Joker in a cell in Arkham, and tells Harleen's Joker Clan to stay low. Insurgency Batman and the group arrive at Wayne Manor, and after a series of events they enter the Batcave. After doing what was necessary to unlock the weapon, Black Adam and the other Wonder Woman attack, but are defeated and escape. The weapon is then damaged beyond repair. Soon, Cyborg is teleported by the Flash and Superman from the main Earth by accident, which leads to Batman filling Cyborg in on the mission and where he is.

As the Insurgency discusses other ways to end the Regime, Batman receives an announcement from Superman that Superman would be executing the main universe's Batman. Knowing full well it's a trap, the Insurgency devise a plan to break the other Batman out of Stryker's Island. As the plan later moves into action, Insurgency Batman and Green Arrow assault Stryker's Island from the inside, and are greeted by Regime Catwoman and Nightwing.

As Oliver takes on Nightwing, Selina attacks Batman, revealing that she joined the Regime to save him, but to no avail. After trying to convince Batman to escape all of the conflict with her, Batman refuses and defeats her. Green Arrow then questions Nightwing's choice to go against his former mentor, but Batman reveals that Nightwing in his timeline is not Dick Grayson, rather an older Damian Wayne, who mocks Oliver for believing that he was Dick Grayson. He also reveals that Damian killed Dick, which made Batman disown him.

Batman proceeds to fight and defeat his son, and after assuring Green Arrow that he is all right, the two seek and locate the other Batman. After freeing him, Green Arrow is seen being controlled by Raven. He fires arrows at Batman, only for the Dark Knight to parry them. After subduing Green Arrow, Raven reveals herself, but is knocked out by the other Batman. Yellow Lantern appears, but is defeated as well as Green Arrow and other Batman escape. Insurgency Batman, Normal Batman and Green Arrow are cornered off a cliff as Superman confronts them. As an argument between Superman and Insurgency Batman ensues, they are beamed away by Cyborg at the nick of time. They all teleport away from the Watchtower, and are quickly beamed out again prior to the base's destruction.

After the deaths of both Lex and Shazam, the Flash defects to the Insurgency and reveals Superman's plan to destroy Gotham, Metropolis, and the primary world entirely. As the new group throws around ideas, Insurgency Batman disagrees and plans to send the 'impostors' back, much to the discontent to the team. Primary Batman throws the idea of bringing his Superman to fight the Regime Superman, but Insurgency Batman contests this decision because of how his impression of the world changed, but before this would continue, an attack on the Insurgency base ensues.

After defeating the Regime Bane together, the Batmen travel to the Batcave to set up the Inter-dimensional Transporter. The attack has become a full-scale battle between the Regime and Insurgents (including Lexcorp) when they arrive. Insurgency Batman becomes adamant about sending the others back to where they belong, so Primary Batman is attacked by Insurgency Batman. However, Batman defeats his other-self. After more convincing, Insurgency Batman finally agrees to Batman's plan to send over his Superman, which is what they do. After discussing the final plan to bring down Regime Superman. Insurgency Batman admits that it was 'good to have Superman back'.

After the defeat of Regime Superman, Insurgency Batman and the others find the two Supermen. Regime Superman tells Insurgency Batman 'You'll have to kill me', but Batman declines, "No, not even you, there's been enough killing".

Primary Batman is seen apprehending his Joker and supposedly taking him through the portal to his world with the help of Harley. The now-former Insurgency Batman, now in a new, repaired armor, talks about what would happen next for his world with other Superman. Batman declines the help of Superman's world and the role of president in his post-Regime world. Batman tells Superman one thing before they exit Regime Superman's cell, that if he were to go rogue like his Superman would, he would go after him, to which Superman replies "You'll have to get in line". Batman bids farewell to the others.

Injustice 2[]

Batman and his sidekick, Robin, tries to stop Superman from killing criminals at Arkham Asylum in a flashback. The two get into an argument as to whether Superman is right or wrong about killing the criminals. Batman states that it isn't justice to kill him, but Robin then asks if Batman would've done the same thing if Joker had nuked Gotham and killed him in the process. Batman ignores his question, and soon the Batwing is hacked by Cyborg to go into autopilot and head to the Batcave instead. The duo eject and glide through the sky. Cyborg boom tubes in and fires a warning shot at the two, splitting them up. Batman lands on the ground, and Cyborg declares his reluctance to fight him.

Batman refuses to stand down, and the two fight, with Batman emerging victorious. Batman and Robin reunite and continue onward to Arkham on foot. The duo takes down the guards at the front gate of Arkham, with Batman brutally beating down one guard, leading to Robin questioning Batman's actions him of not killing the guard but leaving him with traumatic brain injuries. Batman again ignores him, and as Robin secures the area, Batman encounters Wonder Woman, who asks if he's here to help. Batman responds, "Yes. To keep you and Clark from making a mistake". The two then fight, and once again, Batman wins. Batman then uses the Lasso of Truth on her to ask where Superman is. She tells him he's at Cell Block C. Just as Superman rounds up the prisoners, Batman enters. After Superman orders everyone to leave the room, Batman and Superman get into a debate about whether executing the prisoners is right or wrong. Batman adds that he has been in his situation, stating that he wanted to kill his parent's murderer and he could have, but he chose not to, stating that it's not the life he and Lois wanted. Upon the mention of Lois, Superman's eyes redden, but before the situation can escalate, he is stopped when Batman holds a red solar grenade. He explains that it would dull his powers and that he should stop now. Superman refuses to do so, and Batman activated the grenade, dimming his powers. The two fight, but thanks to Superman having been weakened, he is beaten. As Batman tries to restrain Superman with Kryptonite ropes, Damian betrayed him when he kills Victor Zsasz. The two battle, but Batman manages to defeat Robin. Just as Batman is apologizing to Robin, Robin denies it, questioning him as to whether he thinks he's better than Superman, as since he didn't kill, he couldn't save anybody, including Lois and Jason. Superman calms him down and flies him away as Batman looks down at Zsasz's corpse.

In the present, he talks to Lucius about Brother Eye and the remaining Regime members, namely Wonder Woman and Black Adam. Lucius advises him that he should extend his trust, saying that not even he can win alone. He then meets with Green Arrow and Black Canary and introduces them to the Batcave and Brother Eye, explaining that it keeps track of the world. As Harley Quinn joins them, Batman sends them to Slaughter Swamp to investigate a Scarecrow's fear gas shipment that is supposed to be sent to the Society.

As the trio return from their mission, a hologram of Bruce Wayne assigns them to investigate Gorilla City, the hideout of the Society. Green Arrow believes it is more militaristic than vigilantism and asks why he doesn't send the military. He explains that there hasn't been any army since the Regime fell, leaving them to deal with any threats. Green Arrow expresses disbelief that they have to extradite Grodd under his entire gorilla army, but Batman advises that his army will submit if they take him down. As Green Arrow leaves, Batman offers Black Canary and Green Arrow a break from the mission, especially since they are a family now. Black Canary refuses to do so, believing that she wasn't there to finish the fight with Superman, but she will finish it this time.

After Brainiac's invasion has commenced, Batman asks Brother Eye to give it an update on Green Arrow, Black Canary, and Harley Quinn; however, Brother Eye responds that it cannot do that. When Batman asks why, Brainiac reveals that he had hacked into Brother Eye. Batman attempts to regain control but to no avail. Brainiac compliments Batman for having captured Superman and reveals that he'll capture both Superman and the Earth. With Betas invading the Batcave, Batman suits up and flies off in the Batwing.

He goes to the Red Sun Prison, where he meets an imprisoned Superman. He asks about Brainiac, which the latter recognizes as the individual who destroyed Krypton. When Batman asks how he'll beat him, Superman responds, "You can't...not without me." Batman refuses to release him and walks off, ignoring Superman's pleads to be let out.

He later regroups with Flash, arguing as to whether they should trust Green Lantern or not. Suddenly, a crate above them falls, but Green Lantern saves them. Green Lantern attempts one last time for their forgiveness. When he receives no response, he is ready to leave before Batman stops him and admits that he now trusts him. He sends him to Atlantis to try to get Aquaman and Atlantis to help.

Eventually, they don't manage to get Atlantis' support, but Batman realizes that even if they did, they would still be badly outnumbered. Flash proposes that they should free Superman to help, but when Batman and Green Lantern shoot looks, Flash defends himself. Green Lantern expresses some lack of faith that Blue Beetle and Firestorm will be able to keep Superman imprisoned, but Batman reassures him that they will.

At the Red Sun Prison and just before Firestorm could go nuclear, Batman intervenes, ordering Firestorm to stand down. He notices that among the Regime members, he discovers Supergirl, whose existence was kept secret from him. Robin adds that despite Batman keeping many secrets, he can't tolerate any being kept from him. Ignoring him, he reveals that he now knows he can't win and free Superman. The two old friends stare at each other, and Superman expresses that he will not be returning to his cell. Batman says that they'll deal with that later, and they should focus on Brainiac instead. He secretly has Firestorm make him a dagger of Gold Kryptonite.

The heroes meet up at the Justice League table; however, Batman pulls Firestorm away, and Batman berates Firestorm for his reckless decision to go nuclear. He sends him off to another mission, telling him to do so discreetly. He returns to the table, just as Catwoman has finished explaining the situation. As the other heroes leave, Superman asks, "Why'd you keep it." When Batman asks what he's talking about, Superman pulls off the cover on the table, revealing the Justice League table. Batman merely shrugs this off, responding that he "forgot that was there." and leaves Superman.

When Cyborg managed to regain control of Brother Eye, Batman informs everybody and tells them to follow through with their plan.

Later, he and Catwoman pilot the Batwing, flying with Superman and Supergirl and fighting with the various Beta ships defending Brainiac's ship. However, Brainiac's ship's shields deflect any of Superman and Supergirl's attempts to break in. Brainiac manages to capture several cities and seemingly kill Superman. Batman lands the Batwing near a mourning Supergirl, who informs him of his death and adds that it's the "best news he's heard all day." To Supergirl's surprise, Batman responds, "I'm going to miss him too." He explains that they were once good friends, but when the Joker nuked Metropolis and killed Lois Lane, he's lost Superman since and has still missed him to that day. As the other heroes arrive and just as Wonder Woman begins to berate Batman for his flawed plan, Brainiac contacts them, noting their discord. He explains that his Betas are in place and, in an hour, will explode and scorch the Earth. However, he offers a deal: submit Supergirl to him, and he'll spare the Earth. Batman refuses to do so, and Brainiac leaves them with an hour to reconsider. They formulate a new plan: Aquaman and Black Adam will use the Rock of Eternity to disable the shields.

The plan is successful, and Batman in the Batwing and Supergirl break into the ship. Upon the Batwing crashing in, Batman is surrounded by dozens of Betas, but Supergirl saves him. As the two progress further into the ship, they reach Brainiac's collection, and Supergirl and Batman discuss how they could restore the Kryptonian cities, including Kandor and Argo City. Several tendrils from the ship suddenly capture and subdue the two. Brainiac sends Supergirl off for further study; he deems Batman unworthy for collection and orders his Betas to dispose of him before leaving. Fortunately, Superman is revealed to be alive and rescues Batman at the last moment. The duo head further into the ship, where they encounter a mind-controlled Firestorm and Swamp Thing.

The two heroes manage to defeat them and restore them back to normal. The duo reach Brainiac's throne room, but before the two can begin searching for Brainiac, a portal opens before them. Doctor Fate emerges from the portal, explaining that he is ordered to defeat them since their conflict had caused so much chaos in the world. Either Batman or Superman fights Doctor Fate, while the other will continue to hunt down Brainiac. Either way, the chosen hero beats Doctor Fate, and Superman manages to crush the helm with his bare hands. Doctor Fate is suddenly brought back to normal and is finally free from the Lords of Order. However, Doctor Fate is suddenly stabbed through the chest by one of Brainiac's tendrils, killing him. Brainiac manages to beat Batman with ease and faces off against Superman. However, he is defeated because of the other heroes' attacks on the other Betas weakening him. However, upon being incapacitated, the ship suddenly loses power and begins to fall into Earth's orbit. Seeing no other choice, Superman takes control of the ship and manages to take control of the ship before it crashes onto Earth, saving Batman and the ship's collection. Superman proceeds to restore the other cities but soon collapses.

The other heroes arrive and express relief that the damage Brainiac has caused has been undone. Superman sadly claims that he didn't save everyone. Batman explains that while Superman managed to restore several cities, there were still more trapped further into the collection, while others, including Metropolis and Coast City, were wiped out of the ship's memory. Superman then turns his attention to an unconscious Brainiac, intent on killing him. However, Batman stops him, stating that even if he did want to kill Brainiac, they need him to restore the other cities. Superman argues that they don't have to and instead, they should control the ship to restore the cities. Flash agrees with Batman, saying that killing him is too risky, but Aquaman adds that they can only assure Brainiac's death. Wonder Woman then states that this is no different from Joker's; they can stop his madness by killing him. However, Batman retorts that "It was never that easy." Superman becomes increasingly frustrated with Batman’s unwillingness to conform to his homicidal way of thinking and angrily asks him how long it will take to realize that executing criminals is the only way. Batman suddenly slashes him across the chest with the dagger of Gold Kryptonite he had received earlier. He warns him that enough exposure will depower him permanently. Superman refuses to stand down, and the two friends face each other.

Absolute Justice[]

Batman tries to stab him several times and succeeds once by slashing him across the wrist. Superman then rushes towards Batman and makes him drop the dagger, which is picked up by Wonder Woman. Now having the advantage, Superman grabs him by the throat but is rescued by Supergirl and Green Lantern. As the heroes fight amongst themselves, Batman is attacked by Aquaman, who tries to stab him several times with his trident, but Batman dodges each attack. Batman notes that Aquaman doesn’t want to join Superman’s Regime; he just wants to kill Brainiac. Aquaman confirms this, saying that he never got Atlantis’ old-fashioned sense of justice. Batman manages to defeat him and grabs hold of his trident, with which he stabs him through the leg, finally subduing Aquaman. Batman leaves him behind, stating that he’s tired of fighting him.

He tries to help Supergirl with Black Adam, but Black Adam simply electrocutes Batman before carrying him out of the ship. High above Gotham City, Black Adam drops Batman, but the latter glides safely down to the ground. Batman warns Black Adam that he’ll face prosecution this time unless he leaves, but Black Adam refuses to submit, adding that he’s underestimated him for the last time. Ultimately, Batman manages to defeat Black Adam, and he contacts Supergirl. She tells him that Superman and Wonder Woman are pursuing her, so Batman tells her to lead them to the Batcave. Batman rides the Batmobile to get to the Batcave and puts on an upgraded suit. He reaches Wonder Woman and Superman, just as they had reached the Batcave and cornered Supergirl.

Superman chooses to fight Supergirl, and Wonder Woman prepares to fight Batman. Batman manages to defeat her, just as Superman had defeated Supergirl. Batman declares, “Your war is over.” However, instead of fighting, Superman tells Batman about how fighting on the same side “felt like old times”, even if they both knew they would become enemies again. Carried away, Batman recalls the night when Lois was pregnant. Superman also adds that he knew, even before he said anything. Both agree that was a good distant memory. Trying one last time to reach out to him, Batman says, “I miss the people we were back then.” Superman agrees before sucker-punching in the face so hard Batman goes through the wall behind him. Back to his sense, Batman battles with Superman.

If Batman was chosen at the beginning of the chapter, Batman manages to beat down Superman. Superman tries to get up and continue the assault, but Batman simply pummels the Kryptonian to the ground. Superman tries one last time to get up but falls onto the floor, unconscious. A fatigued Batman falls to his knees, and Supergirl comes to his side. He informs her that he’s just unconscious and that he apologizes that he couldn’t save him.

Later, Superman is taken by Batman to the Fortress of Solitude, weakened by his kryptonite cuffs and soon de-powered permanently when exposed to gold kryptonite. As Batman opens a portal to the Phantom Zone, Supergirl speaks to her cousin one last time, who expresses disbelief that she betrayed him, even though they were family. Supergirl responds that they still are and hopes that he’ll see it one day. Superman also vows to return from the Phantom Zone, but Batman responds that they’ll be ready. Just as Superman exchanged one look at them and enters the Phantom Zone, he asks Supergirl she’s all right. She responds “No”, telling Batman about how Superman made his symbol invoke fear in people. Batman responds that its meaning depends on how the person wearing it acts, adding that when he and Superman formed the Justice League, they simply defended people, not govern them. He tells her that a new Justice League could be formed and invites her to join as the two shake hands.

Absolute Power[]

If the player is on Superman's side at the beginning of the chapter, Superman defeats Batman. The latter tries to get up, but Superman simply uses his super-breath to keep him down, finally defeating him. Batman tries to reason with him, but Superman remains unconvinced, saying that he won't let Brainiac threaten the Earth again. Batman then asks if he's next. Lifting him by his throat, Superman tells him that he could've killed him years ago, and it would've been so easy. Batman defiantly tells him to do so, saying, "Show me what a villain looks like." With eyes reddening, Superman asks, "Is that what you want to see?" When Batman stands firm, just as Superman is seemingly about to kill him, he instead headbutts him, knocking him out. Wonder Woman orders him to kill Batman, but he refused, knowing that will make Batman a martyr; he has something else in mind.

Superman then kills Brainiac, merges with his ship, restores all of the cities, and assumes control of the world again. When Supergirl refuses to join Superman, the latter tells her she will join him willingly or forcefully, as he reveals a mind-controlled robotized Batman to a horrified Kara. Superman then asks with his arms crossed, "What's it going to be?" as the screen cuts to black.

Powers and Abilities[]

Super_Move-1375399194

Super Move-1375399194

Despite being one of the few members of the Justice League without any extra-human enhancements, Batman has proven himself to be just as formidable as any super-powered hero against the forces of evil. Batman's preparedness for just about every situation and predicament is legendary. His strength, speed, agility, stamina, durability, reflexes, willpower, and intelligence are as sharp and toned as possible without being considered superhuman. He is proficient in most known forms of martial arts and possesses incredible reaction skills and superb intellect and wit. In addition to his high levels of combat training, Batman employs military-grade technologies and gadgets developed by his family's company that assist him in his war on crime. Batman is never seen without his famous Utility Belt, which he equips to possess any item needed for any problem that could present itself in the field, primarily in combat and investigation.

In addition, his Batsuit is reinforced with triple-weaved Kevlar inlays and carbon nanotube fibers, making it resistant to many forms of physical and projectile attacks and even some magical varieties. It functions as both a disguise and a symbol that strikes fear into his opponents, due to its dark and menacing appearance. Though only a mere mortal when compared to the other superhuman beings that litter the Injustice universe, Batman is still one of the most dangerous men alive. Having honed his body to perfection, mastered every martial arts style known, and trained his mind to solve any problem, Batman is more than capable of holding his own against genuine superhumans and aliens through cunning wit and advanced weaponry.

Batman's costume acts as durable body armor. At the same time, his utility belt hides a plethora of advanced weaponry created by the Dark Knight himself, ranging from his infamous Batarangs, shuriken-style throwing bladed weapons in the shape of his trademark bat symbol. When the Batarang's cutting power isn't enough, he can use an explosive variant for added punch, a grappling gun used to pull and propel himself as well as his enemies when used offensively, various types of bombs ranging from smoke to fragment explosives, tasers, and sonic devices used to disable his enemies and summon bats. Batman can also call three mechanical bat devices that hover around, the bats serving for offense by launching themselves at his enemies, or defensively, acting as a shield to protect him.

Special Moves[]

  • Straight Grapple: Batman fires a grappling hook towards his opponent, and if it connects, Batman reels towards his opponent and delivers an airborne kick. The Meter Burn version has Batman stop just short of his still reeling enemy.
  • Sky Grapple: Batman shoots his grappling hook into the air while saying "Get down here!" and when it connects, he will bring his opponent down far behind himself. The Meter Burn version causes Batman to slam his opponent down and for them to bounce.
  • Batarang: Batman pulls out two Batarangs and then throws them at his opponent. The Meter Burn version causes the Batarangs to explode. In Injustice 2, he only tosses one Batarang, although he does toss 2 batarangs if the “Dual Batarangs” ability is equipped. If the “Taser-Rangs” ability is equipped, any move involving exploding Batarangs will release electric bursts rather than explosions. If the “Air Straight Batarang” ability is equipped, Batman will jump into the air before tossing a Batarang.

  • Cape Parry: Batman prepares for an opponent’s attack, covering his front with his cape.

  • Cape Counter: Similar to Cape Parry (see above), only the counterattack consists of Batman tossing an exploding Batarang at the ground in front of him, launching the opponent. If the “Advanced Parry” ability is equipped, the move can be meter burned, inflicting more damage.

    • The offensive way allows Batman to shoot one robotic bat at a time without performing an animation, this allows for new combo opportunities, additional damage and pressure on the opponent.
    • The defensive way puts Batman in a stance that makes all the bats swarm around him. If the opponent touches Batman, the opponent will be launched into the air, which enables Batman to follow up with a juggle combo.

Injustice Gods Among Us - Batman Ending 【HD】

Following the battle to liberate Earth, Batman learned that Luthor had bequeathed his massive fortune to Bruce Wayne. He now had the means to rebuild Gotham and Metropolis. The cities' residents, inspired by their hero's efforts, adopted the slogan "We Are Batman". They contributed countless hours to their communities' renovation--and crime prevention. The Batman of old would have stubbornly assumed these tasks alone; the post-One Earth Batman, having been rewarded for his trust in others, enjoyed his city's renewal and his role as its benefactor.

Injustice 2[]

Injustice 2 - Batman Ending

Brainiac's attack left the world devastated. Thousands dead, many more thousands homeless. When President Kane asked that I head up the emergency response, I couldn't refuse. The job demands required that I leave the Justice League in Barry's and Hal's hands. Together they're molding the younger heroes into a force of good unlike any Earth has even seen. But I'm only semi-retired. Behind the scenes I've been preparing for Superman's return. Kal swore he'd escape from the Phantom Zone. I'd be foolish not to take him at his word.

Personality & Traits[]

Batman retains many of his classic characteristics from the comics until Superman begins his campaign for world order. Bruce initially believed that Clark could come back from murdering the Joker out of grief and revenge for Lois and his child's death.

When Damian Wayne accidentally killed Dick Grayson out of anger while assisting Superman in moving the prisoners of Arkham Asylum to an unknown facility, this and their recent differences over Superman's actions prompted Bruce to disown Damian as he had killed his "real" son. Dick's death had devastated him to the point of self-harm, as Bruce continuously beat a training dummy to the point where his hands began bleeding. It was only after Selina stopped him that Bruce began to mourn for his first son.

No longer willing to trust Clark or any of his followers, Batman began the Insurgency to stop them. While he was willing to share his identity with them, Bruce's trust in others had been diminished through the other heroes' actions, and he continued to keep secrets as to ensure no one would betray him, keeping Martian Manhunter's involvement secret as a way to keep his plan under wraps.

Over the next five years, Bruce lost many of his closest allies in the fight against the Regime, among them being Oliver Queen, Alfred Pennyworth, Jim Gordon, Tim Drake, Renee Montoya, and Kate Kane. Oliver was killed by Superman when the latter thought he was trying to hurt Diana and him (when in fact his violent response was merely a display of anger), Alfred was murdered by Victor Zsasz on orders from Superman (although he was later revived via the Lazarus Pit), Jim died of overusing the Kryptonian strength supplements which had accelerated his cancer to being terminal, Tim was imprisoned within the Phantom Zone by Superman as an Ultimatum for saving Superboy's life, Renee died of an inadvertent overdose on 5-U-93-R, and Kate was personally killed by Superman himself, whilst she manually activated the teleporter to transport the mainstream heroes to the Injustice Universe. These losses completely changed Bruce's view of Clark, now believing him to be a tyrant. Likewise, he is seen as a traitor by Superman’s generals.

Despite the conflict between Superman and his Regime allies, deep down he still cares for them enough to try to convince Clark to go back to his former self even though it was his first attempt to distract them while Kane tried to open a portal to bring in Prime Earth Superheroes to obtained the Kryptonite prototype weaponize before her demise. He attempted to do the same thing with his Regime allies and his son Damian but failed. When Kara sense Clark supposedly died at the hand of Brainiac, he heartfeltly will miss Clark because he considered him his best friend even after the nuked in Metropolis that drove him insane and he regretted unable to save Lois Lane in time before the Joker nukes Metropolis via her heartbeat. Before the final showdown between Superman and Batman in Injustice 2, he reminisces about Lois Lane's pregnant with Clark's child even before Clark delivers the news about his wife's pregnancy and how he missed his old JL members and their time together before they've been spiral out of control because of moral debate due to Metropolis were nuked by Joker (mostly to converted Clack back to his former self who considered him his best friend with their lifetime together). Should the player choose the Absolute Justice ending, he's apologetic to Kara for being unable to bring back to his usual self who was once his best friend and is now force to prepare a Contingency plan for Superman should he break out of his imprison in Phantom Zone during his semi-retirement. He no longer called his best friend's name but rather calling his Kryptonian name Kal-El as a reminder of being a tyrant and former shadow-self.

Trivia[]

  • Batman is one of the playable characters in the downloadable demo.
  • He was voiced by the late Kevin Conroy, Batman's voice actor from the DC Animated Universe and many other works. Because of Conroy's death on November 10, 2022, Batman will be played by a different voice actor in Injustice 3, though it is unknown who will voice him in Conroy's place.
  • In the first Injustice game, Batman had his super move completely changed before the game's release due to lackluster reception from fans. His original move was a parry attack, followed by several blows to the opponent and the use of his batclaw to hang the opponent for a final jump kick.
  • The last part of Batman's super move from the first Injustice game is reminiscent to how he beat Bane in Arkham Asylum.
  • Batman's super move in the second Injustice game is a reference to a similar scene from Tim Burton's 1989 Batman film.
  • Batman was also playable in Midway's crossover game Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
  • He has the most playable sections in the Story Mode for Injustice: Gods Among Us, having two chapters as well as being playable in Wonder Woman's chapter.
  • On his New 52 costume, Batman's eyes are visible in the game. However, in the actual New 52 comics he has white covers over them. This is also the case with Nightwing.
  • Along with the Arkhamverse Batman, the Injustice Batman is the only other version in the DC Multiverse to have had his identity revealed.
    • The only key difference is that Arkhamverse Batman pretended to commit suicide to protect his legacy and loved ones from retribution.
  • Batman's Cape Parry is based off a take-down attack he uses in Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Series.
  • In Chapter 6, Aquaman says "it's a trap" regarding his Batman's execution, where Insurgency Batman replies "Of course it is": this is similar to the dialogue between Commissioner James Gordon and Batman in Batman: Arkham Asylum.
  • During multiple losses from and battles with the Regime, Bruce suffered with PTSD.
  • Arkham Origins Batman is the most expensive card in Injustice IOS, costing 375,000 credits to purchase.
  • One of Batman’s intro dialogue lines in Injustice 2 reveals that his batsuit is equipped with telepathic inhibitors, thus preventing telepaths such as Gorilla Grodd from reading his mind.
  • it is hinted through one of Batman’s intro dialogues with Green Arrow in Injustice 2 that there is a Batman in the alternate Earth from whence the latter came from, the main difference being that this version of Batman was considerably less traumatized than his Injustice counterpart.
  • In Injustice 2 Annual 2, Bruce Wayne tells Johnathan Kent that he is a Trillionaire due to inheriting money from LexCorps after the death of Lex Luthor, as well as from other unknown sources of funding.
    • This fact breaks the mold of Bruce Wayne being a Billionaire in nearly all Batman Incarnations and DC Comics incarnations, since this is the first time that Bruce Wayne is an Actual Trillionaire.
    • The truth of Bruce Wayne being a Trillionaire, comes immediately after the final scene with Superman and Martha Kent, to which Martha Kent says "If I know your father, he's arguing with a Billionaire about who's buying the drinks.", and then the next scene reveals Bruce Wayne in a pub saying "... I'm a Trillionaire, actually, Mr. Kent.", to which Johnathan Kent says "Good for you. It's still my round.".
    • However, since Injustice 2 Annual 2 was released after Injustice 2: Legendary Edition, let alone after Injustice 2, then the fact of Bruce Wayne being a Trillionaire has yet to be made canon, due to Lucius Fox calling Bruce Wayne a Billionaire Playboy in one scene, however, since that Trillionaire fact hasn't been retconned, then there is a good chance that the Trillionaire fact will be Canonised in the next Injustice Game.
