Looks like a Batman is needed, i'll do it but by the looks of it I am a rookie compared to you guys...
Character You Would Like to Play: Batman
Real Name: Bruce Wayne
Canon or OC: Canon
Character Alignment (Hero, Villain, or Walking the Line): Walking the Line
Appearance/Costume: (Briefly describe or post a picture of what your character's costume looks like. Include both Costumed and Non-Costumed) He looks like Batman :P (Sorry, how do I add the pics like you guys do. I will fix this later when I learn that)
Origin/History of Your Character: A family outing to the cinema ended in tragedy for young Bruce Wayne. Walking homeward, Bruce, his father, Thomas, and mother, Martha, accidentally ventured into Gotham City's notorious "Crime Alley" and were accosted by a mugger. Not content merely to rob the wealthy family, the hoodlum - whose identity was "never determined" - shot Dr. Thomas and Martha Wayne dead before fleeing into the darkness. As he knelt beside his parent's bodies, Bruce swore to avenge them. After the police arrived, Bruce was comforted by Dr. Leslie THompkins. Dr. Thompkins and Alfred Pennyworth helped arrange matters so that Gotham's Social Services would not take Bruce into care. In this way, both Dr. Thompkins and Alfred enabled Bruce to realize his dream of becoming a crusader against crime.
At age 14, Bruce embarked on a journey that took him to every continent as he sought to learn all the skills he would need to keep his vow. He studied criminology, forensics, and criminal psychology, and learned from manhunters and martial artists, mastering every fighting style. In time, Bruce forged himself into a living weapon to wage war on crime and injustice. On his return to Gotham, Bruce stalked street thugs as a plainclothes vigilante. Beaten by the very people he intended to protect, he barely survived his first night out. As he sat bleeding in his study at Wayne Manor Bruce knew that he had to first strike fear in the hearts of his foes. Just then, a bat crashed through the study window, giving Bruce the inspiration he needed.
Establishing a secret headquarters in the caves beneath his mansion, Bruce became Batman, a Dark Knight to protect Gotham and its citizens from vice and villainy. Alfred Pennyworth remained his confidant, tending to injuries and offering sage advice - whether requested or not!

- Batarangs (including explosive, electric and remote- controlled)

- Lock Pick (kept in his glove)
- Chunk of Kryptonite (just in case Superman doesn't like his tactics)
Supporting Cast (If Any): Alfred Pennysworth, Selina Kyle (Catwoman), Commissioner Gordon (I'll add others later)
Other: I'm thinking of adding an OC eventually who may claim the cowl. If I decide to do this I will create a CS for him
Sample Post (must be a minimum of 2 paragraphs with at least 2 lines of dialogue from your character):
"Master Bruce, that tracking device you planted on the vehicle of Blockbusters henchmen has finally stopped. It looks to be an old abandoned factory in Bludhaven." Albert tells him. "But sir, I must ask you to consider helping the other heroes out with the prison break over at the Asylum first. Mr Grayson has always been able to look after himself." Bruce looks over at Alfred. "No. I must find Nightwing first. If the prison breaks are as bad as the news is saying we will need all the help we can get." Bruce gets up and plays the little tune on the piano to open up the passage down to the Batcave. "Alfred, upload the destination to the Batmobile. I'll get to Arkham Asylum when I can. Let Commissioner Gordon know about my plans." Alfred sighs. "Very well Master Bruce."
Batman is speeding through the streets of Gotham. He notices it is very quiet considering all that has happened. Maybe all of the villains are together, planning something really big. Eventually, Batman arrives at his destination but decides to park a couple of blocks away to allow for a "better entrance."
