[color=darkgray][INDENT][INDENT]Absolute Bruce doesn’t stray too far from traditional canon Bruce, except on one or two key points. He’s older, for a start, having been acting as Batman for nearly twenty-three years now, and while he makes good use of that experience, time is telling on him. Years of facing down the worst dangers that Gotham can throw at him has taken its toll, eroding his once sublime physical attributes. He’s began to realise that he can no longer trust his body, though refuses to acknowledge that fact. His growing fragility does weigh on him though, and he has begun to worry about his legacy. He’s afraid that he has never truly made a difference in Gotham, and fears that none of his ‘sons’ will be able to succeed where he has failed. Maybe his time is short, but all that means to him is that he must work harder than ever, and find a way to make Gotham safe for good. In Absolute Bruce isn’t just fighting a war against crime. He’s fighting one against his own mortality. 

Because he's been acting as Batman for so long he's already encountered most - if not all - of his classic supporting cast and Rogues gallery. I wont bother rehashing his history with them here. I'll try and tease out that kind of information organically as we proceed. Long story short he's earned the trust of Commissioner Gordon and the superhero community, he's fought countless battles against the likes of Joker and Riddler, and he's raised a whole gaggle of Robins and Batgirls.[/indent][/indent][/color]

[color=darkgray][indent][indent]Somebody is flooding the streets of Gotham with the super-steroid venom. Street gangs and addicts are getting their hands on unprecedented amounts of the drug, though the GCPD has no idea how the dealers are getting a hold of the Santa Priscan export, especially as the villain Bane is behind bars in Blackgate. Somebody needs to put a stop to this, before Gotham tears itself a part in a drug induced rage. [/indent][/indent][/color]
