The Most Dangerous Man on Earth. One half of The Dynamic Duo. The iconic Cowl. The Badass Normal Superhero.The Goddamn Batman.Created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger (who until 2015 was uncreditednote The New '10s led to DC finally negotiating official acknowledgment for Finger who is now considered the major creative force of the character), Batman is also one of the greatest Trope Makers and Trope Codifiers in not just comics, but all visual media; one of the oldest superheroes still in print — having debuted in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939) — Batman is one of the three best known Superheroes ever (alongside Superman and Spider-Man), one of the flagships of DC Comics and one of the most popular comic book characters ever created.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })At the age of eight, billionaire heir Bruce Wayne witnessed the murder of his parents at the hands of a mugger. Swearing vengeance against all criminals and vowing never to take a life, Bruce used his parents' vast fortune to travel the world and hone his fighting abilities and detective skills. When he felt he was ready, Bruce returned to his beloved Gotham City, intent on removing the criminal element that had overrun the city in his absence. Donning a costume with a bat motif to strike fear into criminals and armed with his keen intellect and arsenal of crime-fighting gadgetry, Bruce protects the streets of Gotham as "The Batman" at night while pretending to be a clueless playboy billionaire by day.In addition to this appealing and unique origin story, Batman has an iconic supporting cast and, more crucially, the single largest and most iconic Rogues Gallery in all of comic book history, as well as one of the most beloved. Many of them are up there with the Dark Knight himself in terms of pop culture relevance and recognition. While his Arch-Enemy, The Joker, is the most recognizable, villains such as Two-Face, The Penguin, The Riddler, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, and Mr. Freeze are recognizable even to those with only the most basic knowledge of comics. Over time, many of his enemies began to be written as dark reflections of certain aspects of Batman's personality, such as The Joker with overall sanity, Two-Face with duality and identity, Scarecrow with the use of fear, etc.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The Batman mythos has expanded into virtually every medium in the decades since the character's debut, and there's a good argument to be made for Batman being the most critically and culturally successful superhero in history. To put it simply, he has never gone out of style. Further proven by the wide variety and range of mediums he has been adapted into over 80 years and counting. He has been different things in different times. A pulp-fiction costumed hero modeled on The Shadow in his early stories, a campy pop-art TV Show in The '60s, a Darker and Edgier post-apocalyptic anti-hero in the mid-80s, Art Deco retro Genre Throwback in late eighties and early-mid 90s, modern neo-noir in The Oughties and the ultimate spectacle fighter in The New '10s. Initially, Batman swung between a bright, shiny Cape and a dark, nightmarish Shadow Archetype and the iconic Cowl. Since The '80s, the latter has been the main default trend, albeit varying in degree of darkness. Of course, since the character is inherently appealing, versions friendlier to children continue to be produced and made well into the current era, standing alongside the darker take on the character.This series has a (very long) Character Sheet.Batman Media:

Batman (Franchise) / int_13f31733	comment	Evolutionary Retcon: Batman started as the tights-clad caped crusader, following the model of certain athletic garb of the day — particularly acrobatic performers such as circus aerialists and tightrope walkers and strength-based athletes like wrestlers and circus strongmen. Starting with The Nineties, artists and writers have experimented with making his costume more plausible and sensible given the beatings that Batman takes in the course of his adventures. This evolution ultimately resulted in realizing Batman's outfit as a heavily armored, high tech suit that employs military issue polymers created by Wayne-Tech. Even the cape is now actually functional and allows limited gliding.

Batman (Franchise) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: After many years of campiness, in the 70s and 80s Batman started getting dark and gritty again and his villains became much more brutal and sadistic (or returned to form in the case of The Joker). Batman is currently one of the grittiest heroes you'll find with an emphasis on fear and a brutal fighting style, most of what he does stemming from what he views as his failures and an insanely violent Rogues Gallery. Despite this, his strong moral integrity remains one of the most consistent in comics.

Batman (Franchise) / int_152e9f5d	comment	Bruce Wayne's childhood friend Thomas Elliot tried to kill his parents at a young age in order to inherit their riches and because his father was an abusive monster and his mother a simpering money hungry lunatic. He only succeeded in killing his father, and, to avoid suspicion, didn't try again, only truly being orphaned when he smothered his raving senile mother in a fit of anger. This left him with a bitter hatred of Bruce, who tragically lost his parents soon after Tommy tried to kill his. Later on in his life, he joins the Riddler (who discovered that Bruce was Batman on a vendetta against him, feeling that, not only did Bruce get the riches Tommy wanted, but that he was wasting those riches as well. Predictably, his vendetta eventually causes him to lose everything and become the full time Super Villain Hush.

Batman (Franchise) / int_154aa477	comment	Big, Screwed-Up Family: Batman canonically has five children: Dick, Jason, Tim, Cassandra, and Damian. He, Dick, Jason, and Tim are all orphans. Cassandra and Damian have alive parents but both are tyke bombs raised by a cult of assassins. Cassandra couldn't talk or read until she was in her mid-teens. Pretty much all of them have died at one point or another. That's just the immediate family too! Other members of the extended clan like Barbara got shot in the spine to torture her dad, Stephanie Brown had a Teenage Pregnancy and a second rate supervillain dad. She also died (later retconned into being put into hiding) solely because Leslie Thompkins wanted to teach Bruce a lesson. Catwoman's background has pinged all over the place but usually she's a Street Urchin orphan who had to steal from a very young age to provide for herself and her sister, Maggie. They're all waifs, misfits and strays that would belong nowhere if not together.

Batman (Franchise) / int_17330d6c	comment	Terrible Trio: There's a group of fairly obscure villains called the Terrible Trio (who, as far as can be told, weren't in mind when naming this trope). Made up of the Shark, the Fox, and the Vulture, the Terrible Trio is of extremely variable threat, and they don't show up very often because they're pretty mundane as Batman rogues go. Though in each animated series they appear in, they gradually become more badass. In Batman: The Animated Series they were billionaires who committed crimes because they literally did EVERYTHING exciting, who (Mainly Fox) completely crossed the Moral Event Horizon. In The Batman they were teenage social outcasts considered "freaks" by the majority of their college campus. In which they stole the Man-Bat formula and transformed themselves into BeastMen (Though they tweaked it to keep their own sentience unlike Man-Bat) and plotted to "Turn everyone in their college into animal people like them, so everyone would be the same" in Batman: The Brave and the Bold they were warriors who stole ancient animal totems to turn into giant powerful beastmen. In every animated appearance, Fox is always the leader and usually always the final battle for Batman.

Batman (Franchise) / int_1779f10e	comment	"Well Done, Son!" Guy: Bruce is motivated by the standards of his father and sometimes wonders if he's living up to him and if being Batman is an appropriate way to carry on the Wayne legacy. Since his father isn't there to acknowledge him, this creates moments of doubt and insecurity that Bruce usually has to overcome. Silas Wayne, who, in his last moments of life, becomes proud of Bruce when he reveals himself as Batman, and happier that the rest of the family wasn't in the room to learn the secret identity, so he'll die proudly with the knowledge that a Wayne is Batman. While he's gotten better about it, this was Damian's whole motivating factor for much of his existence. It's still there but Damian now knows that his dad loves him and is proud of him no matter what.

Batman (Franchise) / int_17c7c925	comment	Frothy Mugs of Water: Inverted. Bruce Wayne doesn't drink, afraid that it'll ruin his edge; however, a socialite like himself must on occasion be seen drinking, to erase any suspicion of being Batman. Thus, he will often drink non-alcoholic beverages, usually ginger ale, prepared to look to others as though they are made with alcohol. He'll even go so far as to act drunk, usually as an excuse for slipping out to chase after criminals.

Batman (Franchise) / int_1c5002bc	comment	The Stoic: Even when threatening mooks as a Guttural Growler, Bats never really loses control. During a fight with The Punisher, while Frank Castle's internal monologue is about giving into rage and joining the chaos, Batman prefers to remain cool and avoid being consumed by other people's rage and use that to his advantage. Not So Stoic: Often a case of OOC Is Serious Business. In the comic/episode Mad Love, Harley is seriously creeped out by Batman laughing. Amongst those who know him, him breaking stoicness is a sign his mental state isn't the same as normal, good or bad. Losing his temper with Alfred means he's either under the influence of something or the villain of the story has successfully gotten under his skin (except ASBAR, where it means he's clearly a hobo pretending to be Batman). Being emotional, especially crying, means he's officially broken and usually has severe PTSD (examples include when he died hundreds of times in Emperor Joker, the death of Jason Todd, after torture by the Court of Owls, and an exception of happy crying at the end of Flashpoint). Laughter either means Joker toxin or he's extremely happy, oftentimes in love.

More recent stories have begun lampshading this, either by commenting that a severe depression caused by the death of the Waynes (or Gotham's general boom-bust economy) led these places to fold quickly, or by showing that Wayne Enterprises and other companies are actively trying to develop in these areas.

Batman (Franchise) / int_23698fa8	type	Aborted Arc
Batman (Franchise) / int_23698fa8	comment	Aborted Arc: From 1995-98, writer Doug Moench and artist Kelley Jones were in charge of the main Batman title. During their first three years on the title, a nameless puppeteer holding a Batman puppet appeared in the background of many stories. He would be there when Batman was solving a case or when he was throwing a party as Bruce Wayne, but he never let his presence be known. The idea was that in the fourth year of their run, which they knew would be their last, they would properly introduce the character as a villain who knew Bruce's identity, was capable of manipulating both Bruce and Batman and has been preparing to confront Bats on his own terms, but this was never followed through. Jones later explained in interviews that editorial demanded that in their last year they tied the book in with the other Bat-titles, which they had been pretty much allowed to ignore in favor of telling their own self-contained stories. This threw a wrench on the Puppeteer arc and some other stories they were planning, including one with Poison Ivy.

Batman (Franchise) / int_28429e5c	comment	Irisless Eye Mask Of Mystery: One of the most notable superheroes to have this trope as part of their design (to the point that he, along with Robin and Batgirl, provide the image for that article). A notable exception in printed media is when Alex Ross portrays him, much because of the artist's realistic style. This carried over well into the animated adaptations. Indeed one particularly famous scene in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm derives much of its effect from the way the Irisless-look brings about a total transformation of the man into the superhero. The Live-Action films and TV Shows obviously could not pull off this effect, until the finale of The Dark Knight where a brief sequence requiring Batman to interact with sonar imagery results in proto-Augmented Reality Goggles covering under his mask. The AR mask became the means by which this was adapted in the Batman: Arkham Series and has since entered the comics as well. The look returned in the Armored Costume of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Batman (Franchise) / int_2be15316	comment	Ambiguously Jewish: A number of writers have wondered whether Batman is Jewish. Some continuities make Kate Kane, the current Batwoman, Bruce's first cousin and since she's Jewish, that would mean Bruce's mother Martha Kane was Jewish, and since Jewish ethnicity is matrilineal, that would make Bruce Jewish. Of course across the media, Bruce has never identified as Jewish (or for that matter by any ethnic identity for that matter). Both of Batman's creators, Bob Kane and Bill Finger were Jewish incidentally but Bill Finger was explicit about the fact that he saw Bruce Wayne as a WASP and that he wanted him to have a Patrician identity.

In the New 52 line-up of titles, not only does Bats and his "family" have more individual titles than the any other superhero (only the combined Justice League matches), but counting characters with major recurring roles in other titles, the Bat-family shows up in twenty of the 52 current titles put out by DC. By comparison, Superman and Green Lantern, and related characters, only show up in six or so books each, total. Most people suspect this is due to the constant financial success Batman's had, especially in the past two decades (as noted above), and especially in the past half-decade or so, between the Arkham games and TDK.

The idea of madness and insanity is presented as an all-pervasive force, impervious to any rational understanding (cf, Arkham Asylum) and most of Gotham seem to accept and trust the Vigilante to keep order rather than the institutions of municipal, state and federal government.

The original Earth-2 Grayson grew up, became a politician, and stayed Robin even after his Batman died. He himself died in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. The Earth-1 Grayson was a founding member of the Teen Titans, was urged to retire by Wayne after nearly getting killed by the Joker, changed his supranym to Nightwing, and mended his fences with Wayne. He later took over the role of Batman when Wayne was apparently dead, and continued in the role for a while when he returned. Returned to being Nightwing in the New 52.

It's not that he loves being Batman so much he doesn't want to go back to being Bruce Wayne. It's that he IS Batman because he has to be even when dressed and acting like Bruce Wayne. It's a strong contrast to the modern version of Superman, who always thinks of himself as Clark Kent regardless of the costume.

In the original comics, Catwoman and Selina Kyle were Classy Cat-Burglar who stole for the thrill and Selina in civilian life had the identity of a prominent socialite. In modern comics, she was made poor to give her a Just Like Robin Hood motivation, to add spice in her dynamic with Bats. She's the only major Love Interest for Bruce who comes from a poor background (most of his Girl of the Week being rich heiresses, models, and so on, while Talia Al Ghul is basically a Princess) and their dynamic often invites Batman realizing how privileged he really is from his more street-smart and grounded girlfriend. In The Dark Knight Rises, the class differences becomes part of their Slap-Slap-Kiss dynamic while in the Batman: Arkham Series, Selina often expresses angst that Batman and Bruce are out of her league (and not just because he's a hero and she's a thief).

Batman (Franchise) / int_479f9ad0	type	Characterization Marches On
Batman (Franchise) / int_479f9ad0	comment	This results in part because of Characterization Marches On. The original Batman villains were master-criminals typical of pulp villains with no real motivations other than basic greed or lust for power. The first Joker dressed in white paint and didn't have silly gag-based antics. After the 50s, where comics were subject to Bowdlerization, Joker became a harmless villain with gag based antics celebrated in the 1966 TV series. When Dennis O'Neil, Steve Engelhart and other writers sought to make Joker menacing again, they had to justify the gag-based elements which had become The Artifact as well as other motif-themed criminals such as The Riddler who became famous thanks to the show.note It's significant that even in this Lighter and Softer work, all of the villains tried to kill the Dynamic Duo at least once, and in really "creative" ways. Their solution was Hollywood Psych, and they added Arkham Asylum into the mix. Since then, almost all of Batman's villains were described not merely as supervillains but as psychopaths.

Batman (Franchise) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early Installment Weirdness: In the first two or three comics (and only those), Batman was not only perfectly willing to use firearms, he even directly killed his enemies. This bit of bat-history is so infamous, that it even provides the page image for this trope! His tech was also much more simplistic early on—the original Batmobile was just a simple red convertible. His series was initially set in it's own distinct continuity, with no existence of other superheroes prior to retcons—an issue of Batman from the 40s, for instance, had Dick Grayson get an autograph from Jerry Siegel, identified by name and explicitly noted as "the creator of Superman". In the Joker's first appearance, he was a far cry from the loony sociopath he's known as now—he was a straight faced crook with a gimmick, and Batman was the one cracking the puns while fighting him! Notably, he was supposed to be killed off for good in his second appearance, but he ended up becoming so popular, he immediately became a series mainstay, which soon established another trope in the process. The Scarecrow was originally a standard hoodlum-for-hire (albeit one who used to be a college professor) who terrorized his victims the old-fashioned way: with guns and death threats (in this era, fear gas was actually the gimmick of the now-comparatively obscure Hugo Strange). He also managed to hold his own against Batman and Robin physically, at least for a little while. Fittingly, in The Batman Hugo Strange is basically the show's fill-in for Scarecrow, as he used the same fear tactics and psychological intimidation. One episode even had him make Batman hallucinate into thinking a Zombie Apocalypse had started, when in fact, the "cure" he tried to trick Batman into using, was actually the real Zombie virus.

Therefore pretty much everything he does is entirely illegal, as it contravenes all the rules of evidence gathering, chain of custody, interrogation, etc. Some recent series have gotten more sophisticated, going so far as to actually get this right (Batman is an agent of the police and therefore this is inadmissible, or Batman is entirely unconfirmed and you can't prove there's any contact making this very murky but admissible, for example), though some have gotten it wrong while trying to be clever (no, bringing in a bureaucrat whose only job is to turn on the Bat-Signal doesn't make it okay because the bureaucrat is acting as an agent of the police which makes Batman an agent of the police).

Other times, she can at times be an eco-terrorist, ranging from destroying polluting industries to considering exterminating the human race so they'll knock off the polluting. Otherwise, she gets her kicks by feeding people to giant pitcher plants and Venus Fly traps. Lady's in Arkham for a reason. Also, her predecessor, Jason Woodrue, the Floronic Man. He's enough of a plant-man that he can be mostly "killed" and reborn via growing back. He once regrew amongst cannabis after spending some time as a hero under the name Floro, leading to him trying to "save the world" via getting everyone high on super-weed, a plot which Batman stops but Gordon questions if he was right.

Batman (Franchise) / int_57d43e40	comment	Fantasy Counterpart Culture: As per Bill Finger: Dennis O'Neill likewise noted that Gotham and Metropolis represented two sides of New York City: In general, Gotham is a New York City where The Great Depression and The Big Rotten Apple era never ended, nor has the city been gentrified, which gives the setting an advantage over the Marvel Universe which on account of being set in a real city has much of its original verisimilitude and characterization become The Artifactnote New York needing three street-level heroes like Spider-Man, Daredevil and The Punisher with them being so busy that they can't have normal lives was easier to accept in The '60s to The '80s when the city was famously told by the rest of America to "drop dead" but harder in The Nineties-onwards once gentrification set in. Much of the city still has violent crime, corrupt police, slums and poor neighborhoods and banana republic level corruption of civil institutions that's analogous to the fake cities of Grand Theft Auto, and has more in common with third world major cities. For instance the story arc of Batman: No Man's Land, repurposed in the Batman: Arkham Series, The Dark Knight Rises and the final season of Gotham, is closer to the Kowloon Walled City than anything in America. Film and TV adaptations generally make a much more stylized city, such as Tim Burton's films with its hellish gothic architecture as opposed Joel Schumacher's neon-vegas approach. In the DCAU, Gotham is made into a melange of areas, looking like The Remnant of The '40s Film Noir era in Batman: TAS but looking more modern, sleek and stylized in TNBA, with Batman Beyond looking like a Blade Runner kind of city, with Hong Kong and Tokyo influences. Christopher Nolan's films made the city an amalgam of Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and New York. For Gotham, a 2014 ''Guardian'' article states the approach was a combination of the above; shot mostly in NYC which occasionally had to be made worse for the production, with a skyline that's "a composite of photographs of buildings from various cities that were carefully chosen for their Gotham-like feeling, and then manipulated digitally to bring the Gotham look to it that we wanted."

Played with, in that the reason for Batman's drive is less that Victory Is Boring, and more that his end goal lies somewhere between the eradication of evil and the resurrection of his dead parents and reclaiming his childhood (without that harming anyone else), which needless to say he's never accomplished.

Unfortunately for him, Batman soon found him out, leading to a classic confrontation. Chill also appeared post-Crisis in several stories. Post-Zero Hour he was specifically stated NOT to be the Wayne killer, bringing Batman's desire for vengeance back to the way Miller envisioned it. Batman had to ally with Joe Chill when facing a legacy of The Reaper, a crazed slasher vigilante. At several points, Batman has the choice of whether to save Joe's life and each time, he does.

Batman (Franchise) / int_76d6c3df	comment	Let's face it: Thomas Wayne. Instead of waiting for Alfred to show up and chauffeur them back to the mansion, he decided to take a shortcut through Crime Alley. All dressed up. At night. In the rain. It's just a pity his foolishness got both himself and his wife killed, and his son traumatized along with him. It wasn't called Crime Alley back then. It's canon that it used to be a nice neighborhood called Park Row. The Wayne murders signaled the beginning of the decline of the neighborhood. But then again, they walked into some random, trash-strewn alley, through a side door of the theater, because that's how rich people routinely exit such establishments. How about in the Pre-Crisis origin, a gangster named Lew Moxon directly threatens Thomas Wayne with death for getting him arrested and admits he'll get someone to do it for him? Wayne does not tell anyone of this death threat and Moxon hires Joe Chill to do the job and he follows through.

Batman (Franchise) / int_780a078e	comment	Self-Made Orphan: Bruce Wayne's childhood friend Thomas Elliot tried to kill his parents at a young age in order to inherit their riches and because his father was an abusive monster and his mother a simpering money hungry lunatic. He only succeeded in killing his father, and, to avoid suspicion, didn't try again, only truly being orphaned when he smothered his raving senile mother in a fit of anger. This left him with a bitter hatred of Bruce, who tragically lost his parents soon after Tommy tried to kill his. Later on in his life, he joins the Riddler (who discovered that Bruce was Batman on a vendetta against him, feeling that, not only did Bruce get the riches Tommy wanted, but that he was wasting those riches as well. Predictably, his vendetta eventually causes him to lose everything and become the full time Super Villain Hush. Black Mask killed his parents in a fire to inherit their business and fortune. Unfortunately, he was a lousy businessman and when he tried to burn down the factory to cover his tracks, he wound up with the facial injury that gave him his villain name. He was a lot better at being Ax-Crazy than a businessman anyways. In a look at The Joker's childhood in The Brave and the Bold revival issue #31, as a child the Joker burned down his house with his bickering parents inside. This being the Joker, who knows how accurate the story is. According to The Long Halloween, Jonathan Crane (the future Scarecrow) killed his mom. On Mother's Day. The Penguin. In most versions his father dies of bronchial pneumonia, but in Penguin: Pain and Prejudice His father's behavior and commentary eventually pushed him too far, and he murdered Tucker Cobblepot, leaving him alone with his mother. The only one that showed any signs of loving him. A one-off character in the debut issue of Gotham Knights is a child that kills his parents. Thanks to having a few too many time-travelers in his life (or a few too many writers recycling the same idea), Bruce Wayne himself is one several times over. The general structure of how is "time-travel saves the Waynes and dooms the timeline, adult Bruce Wayne from the doomed timeline has to undo it to stop whatever caused it and thus send his parents to their deaths". The worst example is when Booster Gold does it with the intent of undoing it as a gift. Bruce was also forced to let his Flashpoint timeline father die after visiting it in The Button.

Batman (Franchise) / int_7833feeb	comment	Sudden Name Change: Stephanie Brown's mother was named "Agnes" when she originally appeared in Detective Comics, but her name was later changed to "Crystal." According to Scott Beatty (who was the first to rename her), he had asked DC editors about the name of the mother but no one could remember, leading to an accidental name change that stuck. The Post-Crisis Huntress had a case of her middle name changing. In her first origin and early appearances, her full name was "Helena Janice Bertinelli". In her revised origin and later profiles, her name became "Helena Rosa Bertinelli". Huntress' parents were named Guido and Carmela in her original 1989 origin, but their names were later changed to Franco and Maria by the time of Greg Rucka's retelling in the Cry For Blood miniseries. Harvey Dent's wife is generally known as Gilda, but was renamed "Grace" in a 1989 Secret Origins story and the name carried over to her animated counterpart in Batman: The Animated Series. All later comic appearances switched her name back to Gilda. Harvey himself was originally introduced as "Harvey Kent". They changed his name so there'd be no confusion with that other fellow. While Poison Ivy's civilian name was initially established as Pamela Isley, Gerry Conway inexplicably gave her the name of "Lillian Rose" when he wrote her origin in World's Finest #252. Post-Crisis, Neil Gaiman would re-establish the Pamela Isley name (along with overhauling her origin). Gotham has gained some controversy for changing her name from Pamela Isley to Ivy Pepper.

Batman (Franchise) / int_7a87fa80	comment	Animal-Themed Superbeing: Bruce, his sidekicks, and many of his enemies are animal based, albeit none of them have animal powers at all and the outfit is largely an aesthetic and metaphorical concept based on social connotations. For instance, Batman doesn't have echolocation powers and it refers to him being nocturnal and his cape-and cowl silhouette looking like a giant bat when he goes Roofhopping. While Selina Kyle is shown to have an affinity with cats in later stories, originally it was a reference to her being a cat burglar, which was a poetic concept (stealthy like a cat) and not a literal one (since cats don't steal), while Robin's red tunic has a resemblance to the red-breasted American Robin, his name was a Shout Out by his co-creator Bill Finger to Robin Hood. Likewise, Penguin is so-called for wearing the Penguin-suit. It wasn't until much later in fact, in 1970, with Man-Bat that you had an actual animal themed superbeing in the Batman mythos.

Batman (Franchise) / int_7c4fdf65	comment	Red Is Violent: Jason Todd, after coming back from the dead, made a Face–Heel Turn and became a more violent vigilante than Batman himself under the name of Red Hood. In the alternate universe of Flashpoint (and in the animated adaptation), Batman/Thomas Wayne is more cruel and ruthless than this universe's Batman, able to kill his enemies to stop menaces, being only compared with Marvel's Punisher. This version of Batman incorporated the red to the costume, mostly in the cape, the symbol and the red eyes. There's also Batman of Zur-En-Arrh (who dresses in red and purple), who was an uninhibited alter ego that Bruce Wayne had constructed to protect himself in the event that his base psyche was under attack. And from Battle for the Cowl saga, one of the men who wants to take Batman's legacy is the ruthless Two-Face, who wears a Batman costume splitted in two colors as his normal motif, having one side black/dark blue and the other one red. Anarky.

Much of the city still has violent crime, corrupt police, slums and poor neighborhoods and banana republic level corruption of civil institutions that's analogous to the fake cities of Grand Theft Auto, and has more in common with third world major cities. For instance the story arc of Batman: No Man's Land, repurposed in the Batman: Arkham Series, The Dark Knight Rises and the final season of Gotham, is closer to the Kowloon Walled City than anything in America.

Batman (Franchise) / int_8f350291	comment	Secret Identity Identity: Depending on the Writer, and something of a Cyclic Trope. Bruce Wayne is a violent, obsessive loner who plays the dual roles of Batman (who gives him the power to instill fear in criminals and take revenge) and "Billionaire Playboy" Bruce Wayne (leading the carefree life he cannot truly enjoy, and actually disdains). He usually identifies more with Batman (to the point of calling himself such in his head), but not always. The two things they all have in common is that they are self-absorbed, and that they cannot get over the murder of Bruce's parents in Crime Alley.

Batman (Franchise) / int_96fbeaf	comment	There Are No Therapists: Most depictions for the past two decades have made it clear Mr. Wayne has... issues... lots of issues. Double Subverted. There are numerous psychologists in Gotham City - just none you'd actually want helping you. Scarecrow and Hugo Strange would rather drive you mad for laughs, whereas Harley Quinn and Jeremiah Arkham couldn't even keep themselves sane. Then there's the crack staff of Arkham Asylum, who will probably be curing their first patient any day now. How many levels of subversion did they reach when Arkham did successfully cure Cluemaster... of his obsessive need to leave clues. Now he's just a criminal genuis who doesn't give our heroes any way to anticipate his next crime. How about the fact that in multiple continuities, including the titular video games, Arkham was founded not to cure the mentally ill but to exterminate them. Though averted in Batman: The Animated Series, multiple episodes have shown that certain villains such as Penguin and Harley Quinn were cured, though Penguin went back to villainy when his heart was broken and Harley Quinn was starting to snap back in less than a hour after release, simply over a misunderstanding towards a shirt she paid for, which just went downhill further and further. Then there was the Ventriloquist in The Batman who was completely rehabilitated, only for Hugo Strange to pull him back in For the Evulz. Even worse, Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad oftentimes uses it as a harvesting ground because it's where anyone who Batman stops tends to end up, so wearing a costume and going there is often a one way trip to government conscription and a head bomb. And every now and then supervillains slaughter a ton of people there. In the It Takes a Thief storyline in JLA, Bruce and Batman are separated into two personlities. Bruce is full of rage, while Batman is a soulless, faceless cypher. Eel O'Brian (Plastic Man's original identity) sums it up:

However, Joker is the most prominent, oft-referenced version of this; in many of his incarnations, he is very fond of pointing out that Batman has no greater claim to sanity than Joker himself does, often lampshading - if not directly invoking - this trope.

Batman (Franchise) / int_9b54d536	type	Evil Counterpart
Batman (Franchise) / int_9b54d536	comment	Evil Counterpart: Quite a few. For starters, there's Prometheus (although he's more of a JLA-specific villain than a Batman villain) and Black Mask (or Roman Sionis) who has a similar back story to Bruce (son of wealthy parents who died by unnatural causes, although in Roman's case his parents were Rich Bitches who were killed by Roman himself, and Roman ran his company into the ground with his own carelessness). One of the origins of Catman tried to build him up as an evil mirror counterpart who was inspired by the death of his parents to become a supervillain complete with Catmobile and the like. The idea got dropped quickly. Hush is a much more recent example, especially when you get into his backstory and how intricately entwined it is with Batman's. Killer Moth (of all people) was originally presented as an Evil Counterpart. His MO was that he was an anti-vigilante; he showed up to rescue criminals. He even had a Moth Signal criminals could use to summon him! Then there is Bane, whom Chuck Dixon created from the idea of a "dark mirror" for Bruce Wayne. They both lost their parents at an early age, but instead of affectionate guardian raising him in comfortable wealth, Bane grew up in possibly the worst prison on earth. Nevertheless, he honed his intellect and body until he could escape and then return for payback. He's Bruce Wayne Gone Horribly Wrong. An obscure character called The Wrath is gloriously over the top in how closely his backstory mirrors Batman's. His parents were career criminals who were gunned down by the police in front of him the same day as Bruce Wayne's parents were killed. Thus, the Wrath dedicated his life to fighting law and order. Even his costume is almost just a Palette Swap of Batman's. Deadshot is another, an idle rich boy who moonlighted as a vigilante before turning villain, and also had a retconned family tragedy as his motivation. More gun-focused than the above examples. He's moved further away from this than his friends Bane and Catman, and is sometimes used as an Anti-Green Arrow these days. Kobra was originally conceived as this as well, being fabulously wealthy and having his own international team of associates loyal to him, in much the same way as Batman's own teammates were to him. Kobra was so much so this that one edition of the DC Heroes RPG had his stats identical to Batman's. Deathstroke is occasionally implied to be this, given immense training and discipline, and is one of the few low-powered supervillains who's single-handedly defeated the Justice League in combat, in much the same way Batman is often implied to be capable. Man-Bat was a literal take on this, working off the in-universe assumption many people have that Batman is some sort of supernatural monster. Kurt Langstrom is a dedicated scientist, almost fanatically driven to his work, just like Bruce, but is an occasional ally to Batman, too. Ra's al-Ghul has elements of this, most notably in his desire to save the world even at cost to himself, his reluctance to work with others as an equal, and his personal skill. Notably, both Ra's and Batman respect each other enough to work together occasionally, and sometimes Batman is even implied to sympathize with Ra's views, if not his methods. Black Mask was originally like this, a rich kid turned villain due to a personal tragedy, but the characterization is largely eclipsed by the later mob boss take on him. Azrael as Az Bats was an intended subversion of this trope. While capable physically, Azrael was nowhere near Batman's match mentally or psychologically, and quickly degenerated. While not to Black-and-white counterpart standards, Dark Age Of Comics and later retellings posit that most of Batman's rogues gallery reflect a part of Batman's characterization.

Things became Lighter and Softer shortly after Robin was introduced, and the Jack Schiff era relished in this trope. Julius Schwartz attempted Cerebus Syndrome when his term as editor started, but then the 1960's show debuted and the trope was forced to reverse itself for the comic to emulate the show. The syndrome has waved back and forth since then.

The real, and much less conventional meaning of the clue was that the Riddler had flooded a bank vault — gotten a "bank wet" — to defeat its pressure-sensitive locking mechanism and was looting it in scuba gear.

Batman (Franchise) / int_ae0e2472	type	Contrasting Replacement Character
Batman (Franchise) / int_ae0e2472	comment	Contrasting Replacement Character: Batman needs a Robin to act as his sidekick and Morality Pet. However, every official Robin is different from the last one. Dick Grayson's loving parents were murdered and he was taken under Bruce's wing out of sympathy. His tenure of Robin established the role as a lovable, wise-cracking sidekick and foil to Batman. Despite his guardian's anti-social tendencies, Dick is arguably one of the most beloved and sociable characters in the DC universe next to Superman and is a natural-born leader because of this. Jason Todd grew up on the streets with a dad who walked out on him and a drug addict for a mother. He was adopted by Bruce after he caught Jason stealing the tires off the Batmobile. His personality was coarser and was betrayed by his own mother to the Joker. Depending on the Writer, Bruce didn't like or tolerate Jason as much compared to Dick. After his resurrection, Jason becomes the Red Hood, a dark and gritty Anti-Hero willing to cross lines Batman won't. Tim Drake was born into an upper-middle-class family with a neglectful father who wanted a Jerk Jock for a son. Instead of Batman stumbling upon him by accident, Tim sought him out and offered to become Robin after seeing the turmoil Batman went through in the wake of Jason's death. Initially depicted as a chipper and talented teenager, he slowly becomes grimmer and more brooding after a number of tragedies in his life. Damian Wayne is Bruce's biological son with Talia al Ghul. He's an Insufferable Genius who is already a master of hand-to-hand combat and trained in every skill one could expect a Robin to have. But his brutal upbringing under the League of Assassins made him indifferent to murder, which makes him come to blows with his father and adopted brothers. In time, he grows to appreciate his role as Robin and steps away from his murderous past, making him a much kinder and more empathetic young man, even if he retains his penchant for Brutal Honesty and snark.

Batman (Franchise) / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Speaking of The Joker, any Gotham City mook that decides to work for him is Too Dumb to Live. What do those mooks have to look forward to? If they're lucky: almost certainly getting their asses kicked by Batman. But not only does the Joker routinely kill his own Mooks for failing him, he'll do it in order to try and kill Batman, because they have outlived their usefulness, because they might have said something that he didn't like, or because he was bored. How dumb to you have to be to work for a guy who will kill you for shits and giggles? The rest of Batman's rogue's gallery aren't much better, but the Joker takes the cake. There are a couple explanations. Some of the Joker's mooks are almost as crazy as him and are drawn to his madness. The Joker's randomness also means that he'll shower his mooks with money as often as he kills them for kicksnote In most modern depictions, the Joker doesn't really care about money, just causing chaos, so he's not exactly a greedy boss after a robbery, so working for the Joker is basically Russian Roulette.

The thief was the curator, who had designed the display case and the lighting for the exhibit. The top pane of glass was a special lens that, when the light shone through it, made the case appear to be empty. He then palmed the gem as he was dissembling the case for the police.

One of Bruce Wayne's law professors poses a hypothetical situation where two teenagers steal a car for a joyride and end up hitting and killing a pedestrian. When Bruce states that only the driver should be held responsible for the death, the professor corrects him that both teens are responsible because they both participated in the felony that killed the victim. Bruce finds this shockingly unjust, leading him to decide to work outside the law.

Batman (Franchise) / int_cd8ca67a	comment	Double Subverted. There are numerous psychologists in Gotham City - just none you'd actually want helping you. Scarecrow and Hugo Strange would rather drive you mad for laughs, whereas Harley Quinn and Jeremiah Arkham couldn't even keep themselves sane. Then there's the crack staff of Arkham Asylum, who will probably be curing their first patient any day now. How many levels of subversion did they reach when Arkham did successfully cure Cluemaster... of his obsessive need to leave clues. Now he's just a criminal genuis who doesn't give our heroes any way to anticipate his next crime. How about the fact that in multiple continuities, including the titular video games, Arkham was founded not to cure the mentally ill but to exterminate them. Though averted in Batman: The Animated Series, multiple episodes have shown that certain villains such as Penguin and Harley Quinn were cured, though Penguin went back to villainy when his heart was broken and Harley Quinn was starting to snap back in less than a hour after release, simply over a misunderstanding towards a shirt she paid for, which just went downhill further and further. Then there was the Ventriloquist in The Batman who was completely rehabilitated, only for Hugo Strange to pull him back in For the Evulz.

Batman (Franchise) / int_d7f21602	comment	Holding Out for a Hero: Some versions of the story explore the idea of Gotham being too dependent on Batman. Commissioner Gordon often has the worry of relying too much on Batman to patrol Gotham, and points it out in Batman: No Man's Land by claiming that he can't get himself hired anywhere because his reliance on an "urban legend" damages his credibility. Usually though, he has to admit that the corrupt and perpetually-underfunded police department couldn't handle Gotham's crime rate before, and probably couldn't now. And, as Battle for the Cowl demonstrated, Gotham does indeed become a lawless warzone the moment Batman disappeared and only returns to something resembling normality (for Gotham) once Dick accepts that there must be Batman (and he's it). This happened LONG before Battle for the Cowl. A large portion of the "Knight" arc (Knightfall/Knightquest/Knightsend), apart from being a Take That! at people who wanted a Darker and Edgier Batman, was to point out that a huge part of the problem in Gotham was mostly psychological in nature, and that Gotham needs Batman, even a fake one.

Batman (Franchise) / int_e4d1b37d	comment	Load-Bearing Hero: Blockbuster does it in a story, holding up a collapsing mine prop long enough for Batman and the miners to escape. Also during the Cataclysm event: a condemned criminal on death-row (who continually proclaims his innocence throughout his arc) keeps rubble from falling on his lawyer and a nun who were there to witness his execution. Earlier in the arc, he'd helped defend them against several escaping inmates, helping add to the reader's sympathies to the character. Subverted when he reveals that he really did commit the crime for which he was condemned, just before he finally passes out and dies when the rubble falls on top of him. Coincidentally right when he was scheduled to be put to death.

Batman (Franchise) / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: Batman himself started out as this of several characters: the secret identity and basic costume of Zorro, the fear factor and night-orientation of The Shadow, the supreme training and physical/mental abilities of Doc Savage, and of course the detective abilities of Sherlock Holmes. Fortunately, he evolved into his own unique character. Kirk "Man-Bat" Langstrom is one of Curt "The Lizard" Connors. Really, regardless of where each character ended up, the only difference between their origins is the specific ailment they were trying to cure and the specific animal they were working on. During the aftermath of Knightfall while Azrael is filling in for Bruce as Batman, Jean-Paul's darker and edgier (and crazy) version of The Dark Knight starts off as a commentary on comics of the time, but slowly he explicitly becomes Frank Miller's Dark Knight, cemented when Jean-Paul makes himself gauntlets with metal claws.

Batman (Franchise) / int_e57c714d	type	Insane Equals Violent
Batman (Franchise) / int_e57c714d	comment	Insane Equals Violent: Batman villains are serial representatives and offenders of this trope. This results in part because of Characterization Marches On. The original Batman villains were master-criminals typical of pulp villains with no real motivations other than basic greed or lust for power. The first Joker dressed in white paint and didn't have silly gag-based antics. After the 50s, where comics were subject to Bowdlerization, Joker became a harmless villain with gag based antics celebrated in the 1966 TV series. When Dennis O'Neil, Steve Engelhart and other writers sought to make Joker menacing again, they had to justify the gag-based elements which had become The Artifact as well as other motif-themed criminals such as The Riddler who became famous thanks to the show.note It's significant that even in this Lighter and Softer work, all of the villains tried to kill the Dynamic Duo at least once, and in really "creative" ways. Their solution was Hollywood Psych, and they added Arkham Asylum into the mix. Since then, almost all of Batman's villains were described not merely as supervillains but as psychopaths. Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns partly plays this straight and partly parodies it, by showing how absurd Batman's conflict with supervillains become when made a discourse to the popular psychology and sociological analysis of prime time cable news. Popular psychologists and careerist shrinks like Bat Wolper tries to cure the likes of Two Face via plastic surgery that repairs the bad-half of the face. It turns out to be the wrong half, the real Harvey Dent was the scarred out part of his face, representing his guilt and self-loathing. The book also shows Joker closer to the original Bill Finger characterization as a joyless psychopath who speaks in a Creepy Monotone, although it does this by playing up the Foe Yay element to whole new heights. Batman himself in Frank Miller's books is shown to be somewhat of a Functional Madman most of the times, except for All-Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder, where he's just as bad as any of his foes and explicitly wants to take over the world. Alan Moore wrote The Killing Joke in part to reconcile all the elements of the earlier Joker origins with his new characterization as a psychopath, in the process he raised the question whether Joker can be truly held accountable for his actions on account of his mental illness, whether he can potentially be cured. While the "one bad day" element of Joker and the book's depiction of him as Batman's Shadow Archetype has endured, Moore felt that introducing realistic psychology is pointless with the function that Joker, as an entertaining supervillain, is supposed to perform. Two-Face wasn't evil until one side of his face was ruined and (depending on the version) his insanity either began or became much worse. In fact, most Batman villains tend to fall into this category... with the exception (usually) of Humpty Dumpty, who saved Batgirl from falling off a building, fixed her dislocated shoulder, and went quietly to the asylum.

Batman (Franchise) / int_e899b102	comment	Sidekick: The assorted Robins have their own page! Robin I: Dick Grayson. Circus Brat, saw his parents killed in front of him, taken in as Wayne's ward. The original Earth-2 Grayson grew up, became a politician, and stayed Robin even after his Batman died. He himself died in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. The Earth-1 Grayson was a founding member of the Teen Titans, was urged to retire by Wayne after nearly getting killed by the Joker, changed his supranym to Nightwing, and mended his fences with Wayne. He later took over the role of Batman when Wayne was apparently dead, and continued in the role for a while when he returned. Returned to being Nightwing in the New 52. Robin II: Jason Todd. The pre-Crisis Todd was a redheaded circus acrobat whose parents were killed by Killer Croc. He dyed his red hair black, became Robin, and was later adopted by a minor villainess named Nocturna. He vanished into Canon Discontinuity after the Crisis. Post-Crisis Todd had black hair, and was a Street Urchin taken in by Wayne. His father was killed by Two-Face; his mother was killed by the Joker in the same explosion he himself died in. Noted for being a bit of a jerk, even before he died. Around Infinite Crisis, Todd came back from the dead. He is now an adult villain calling himself the Red Hood. This Todd has had black and (later) red hair, so he's apparently an amalgam of the pre-Crisis and post-Crisis Todd. Robin III: Tim Drake. Mother killed by the Obeah Man very early in his career, father killed by Captain Boomerang much later. Later became Red Robin II. In the world of the New 52, it's possible he was never just "Robin", but accounts differ. Robin IV: Stephanie Brown. The daughter of the Cluemaster (a minor Batman villain), she originally went by the Spoiler, and was Tim Drake's girlfriend. She was Robin very briefly (during a period when Drake and Wayne were arguing), before Batman faked her death. Later became the third (or fourth, or fifth, depending on how you count) Batgirl. In the World of the New 52, she is once again the Spoiler and it is not known how much of her backstory remains. Robin V: Damian Wayne. Batman's son, born and raised in secret by Talia al Ghul. Became Robin while Wayne was presumed dead. Mildly psychopathic, considering he was raised by assassins, but he received Bruce's blessing to continue as Robin. He was killed by his own clone. Helena Wayne: In DC Comics' New 52 line, Helena was the Robin of Earth 2, which she and Supergirl fled following the deaths of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. She adopted the duel guise of Helena Bertinelli/Huntress, while Supergirl became Karen Starr/Power Girl.

This vast range is sometimes the basis for whole story arcs. One example is his creation of the Brother Mk I satellite, which was created by Batman to keep an eye on all of the meta-humans, hero and villain alike. Another story, "Tower of Babel", centers on Ra's Al Ghul obtaining a file containing Batman's contingency plans to cripple each and every member of the Justice League "just in case" and using them to his own ends. The existence of the files and the secrecy under which they are kept infuriates The League and lead to his expulsion. This is hinted at in The Dark Knight. Another issue of interpretation is whether he became a man the night his parents died, or if he never truly grew up. Some versions of Poison Ivy gave her powers to grow and control plants with her mind. While other adaptations she had no superpowers (Unless you count being immune to all poisons), she was simply a massive eco-terrorist who loved plants more than any human.
