Standard loadout includes smoke capsules, flash pellets, grapnel gun, compact rebreather, forensic tools, mini cutting torch, collapsible binoculars, explosive gel, and a selection of batarangs (weighted, bladed, and electrified variants). He swaps out gear depending on mission needs, often improvising on the fly.[/color] [COLOR=darkgray][color=yellow][b]◼ Batsuit[/b][/color] A lightweight, armor-lined bodysuit layered with Kevlar weave and impact gel plating at vital points. Designed to blend into the shadows while also providing a heavy dose of intimidation to his enemies.

The cape is memory-cloth glider capable, stiffening under an electric current for controlled descents or surprise aerial entries.[/color] [COLOR=darkgray][color=yellow][b]◼ The Batmobile[/b][/color] An experimental pursuit vehicle built from a heavily modified aerospace prototype chassis, repurposed in secret. Long, sleek, and growling with a turbine engine, it's as much a psychological weapon as a getaway machine. Reinforced armor plating, retractable armor shield, smoke and oil dispensers, and a grapnel anchoring system allow it to navigate Gotham's vertical sprawl.

Thomas and Martha Wayne, the richest couple in Gotham and known philanthropists gunned down in the now renamed Crime Alley in front of the young Bruce Wayne after a late night showing of 'The Gray Ghost'. What followed was a series of distant relatives Bruce had never even heard of popping up out of the woodworks to petition the courts for guardianship. Unfortunately for them one of the stipulations within his parents will was that their money should remain in Gotham and in a trust for Bruce until he was of age to claim it. None of them could handle the young angry boy long enough to see their investment pay off, and after being dragged to and fro between Gotham and god knows where in the world every year or so, his extended family finally got the memo and stopped bothering him. Without fail, he would always have his trusty butler, Alfred to return to. The man became more than a family friend to him, he was a surrogate father. The only person he could trust completely and rely on in times of need. As he grew, Bruce couldn't help but see the inequality all around him. Crime and poverty run amock in Gotham and there was seemingly no cure. When Bruce was granted his inheritance he began funneling as much of it as possible back into Gotham and philanthropy. Unfortunately this only served to line the pockets of corrupt government officials or worse yet mob associated criminals using charity to launder money. And for his effort he was rewarded by being lambasted in the press for having a 'savior complex'. All of this soured his attitude towards his city. He wanted nothing more than to be as far away as possible from it. Frustrated and restless, Bruce turned his back on Gotham for the first time in his life. If he couldn't fix the city with money, then he would have to change himself instead. What began as a short trip became a long disappearance. He cut his hair, vanished from society pages, and lived out of a single battered duffel bag. He sought out the edges of the world - places where people pushed themselves for no reason other than to feel alive. He threw himself from planes over Sahara, he climbed cliff faces in Patagonia with no ropes, he swam under frozen lakes in Siberia - holding his breath until his vision blurred. He chased adrenaline like other men chase wealth or love, trying to burn out whatever part of him still felt hollow. But there was something else too - a pattern. In every city, every hidden corner of the world, he found people who thrived in the cracks. Smugglers, mercenaries, escape artists, stunt pilots, free divers, thieves. He studied them the way some people study art, learning how they moved, how they survived. He paid for lessons when he could, stole them when he had to. He picked up languages, lockpicking, sleight of hand, disguise, escape artistry, parkour. It was reckless. It was obsessive. And it still wasn't enough. Eventually, in the mountains north of Tibet, he crossed paths with men who seemed to know who he was before he said a word. The League of Shadows didn't ask him why he was there. They simply gave him a choice: leave now, or climb the stone steps to their monastery and never be the same again. Bruce began the climb. Within the League, under the tutelage of Ra's al Ghul himself, he thrived. He became their sharpest blade, mastering every lesson they set before him: stealth, subterfuge, misdirection, close combat, fear. Where others sought glory, Bruce sought perfection, and for a time Ra's treated him like an heir apparent. Fully intending for Bruce to succeed him as the Grandmaster of the League when the time came. But when the time came to swear himself to their cause, to lead purges of the corrupt, to burn cities so the world could be rebuilt in their image - Bruce hesitated. He had seen enough death to know that Gotham didn't need purging. It needed saving, and saving for Bruce was not at the end of a gun barrel. Ra's called it weakness, Bruce called it hope. Their argument quickly became a battle after Ra's knew he could not convince Bruce otherwise. They fought atop the monastery in the biting cold wind, the League quickly outnumbering and outmatching him as they rushed to aid their grandmaster. He escaped with his life, faking his death after leaping into the white void of the mountain snow below. He returned to Gotham a changed man. A decade of training and experience had molded his anger into something much more controlled, much sharper. He was no longer the furious boy lashing out at shadows, he was a weapon, ready to be unleashed on the corruption within Gotham. By day, he played the part expected of Bruce Wayne, the aloof heir, the charming recluse whose sudden return from years abroad drew whispers at galas and boardrooms. By night, he stalked the underbelly of Gotham, carving through the tangled web of mob families, crooked cops, and corrupt officials who had kept the city chained in fear for decades. For a year and a half he has waged this silent war, striking from the dark and vanishing just as quickly. The mob whispers of a monster that moves like smoke, that breaks their bones and leaves them dangling from floodlights. Police dismiss him as an urban legend, a fever dream of frightened criminals. The Gotham Gazette pays a high price for any pictures of The Bat that they can plaster on their front page. Public discourse is divided, but a growing percentage are beginning to feel hope when they hear about the Batman, hope that they can leave their house at night without getting mugged. So far, it has worked. Crime families are scattering, territory lines are blurring, and the underworld is beginning to fear the dark again. But Bruce knows this is only the beginning. Gotham is changing. The shadows are starting to feel crowded. And somewhere in the back of his mind, he can't shake the feeling that something far worse is coming - drawn, perhaps, by the very fear he has sown.

I am using heavy influence from the Tim Burton movies, and will be using a more stoic, awkward, and accomodating Bruce Wayne. I want to combine all of the good parts of my favourite batman stories into one, and give a fresh spin on a lot of his villains and classic storylines. Ultimately I want to deliver a new take on the 'Batman: Year One' stories. This Batman has only been operating for just over a year and a half and hasn't encountered any of his main classic villains yet. I'll be starting with the Penguin and mob crime, and gradually work my way up to bigger threats like Scarecrow and of course, The Joker. I think this portrayal of Bruce will enable him to involve others more in his stories and get involved in theirs. He's someone who can identify strengths in others and call on them for help when he's in a tough situation. He's also someone who understands the worlds problems extend past Gotham, and would want to help with other cities' crises. One idea I was mulling over was to get someone playing Daredevil involved in a storyline with Scarecrow, I'd love to see the fear gas have no affect on the man without fear. I also want to specify that I am malleable to the history of Batman in regards to the batfamily. If anyone wants to play a version of Batgirl, Nightwing, etc unrelated to Batman I am more than happy to work with this, I am also happy to alter any previous stories with this Batman to work with any previous Robins.
