Older Than They Look: The Bruce is 92 (having won the title at 60), and thanks to Doctor Klibon's organ transplants, drugs, and even cybernetics has the health and vitality of a man a fraction his age.

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Just like the original Batman, Joseph refuses to kill— unless he must, such as when he killed a traitor who knew about the Bat-Cave.

comment
Split-Personality Merge: Although Joseph's mind is free, the Joker programming has affected him to some extent. Most notably he has some difficulty talking as himself at first, and makes some black humor wisecracks. He even outright says he's both the Joker and the Batman.

Worthy Opponent: Joseph Collins was a rebel leader whom The Bruce himself felt might have the wits to beat him, something the cult leader finds perversely exciting. He also becomes convinced that Joe is a blood descendant of the real Bruce Wayne who survived The Bruce's purges somehow.

Fling a Light into the Future: Decades ago, just prior to a climactic battle with the Joker, an aged Bruce sealed away the Bat-cave, setting up a shield against electronic detection and left a video in the hopes that someone would take up his mantle.

Immortal Ruler: Gotham City has turned into an even more hellish dystopia ruled by the Bruce, a mad old bastard version of Batman who keeps himself alive with organ transplants, cybernetics, and drugs. However, since even such methods have their limits, the Bruce is implied to be a Legacy Character as well.
