While Bruce publicly devoted his money and attention to cleaning up Gotham, his forays against the criminal underworld continued; which encouraged rumor and superstition of himself to manifest amongs the populace. As Batman, Bruce became attached to the Gotham Cathedral; that was once the spiritual center of the city, and took to surveying the city from among the cathedral's towers during patrols. It was during one of those surveys that he heard the scream of Harold's Wife as she and her son, were victims of a mugging, lain next their prone husband/father.
  +
  +
After he tracked the two thugs responsible, Batman took the opportunity to use them to spread word of his presence in Gotham. Bruce's attention to being Batman, however, meant that he was unable to attend the celebratory event of Harvey Dent as Gotham's new District Attorney; his seat as one of Dent's prominent electoral supporters was notably empty.
  +
  +
Holding a charity gala at Wayne Manor to help fund the flailing Gotham City 200th Anniversary Parade, Bruce was forced to attend the event due to his duties as a host, however, he ensured that the mansion's surveillance system tracked key guests such as Commissioner James Gordon, Harvey Dent and Mayor Borg, to gather possible intelligence on Gotham's affairs.
  +
  +
While he attended to his duties as host, Bruce was harried by photographer Vicki Vale who, not knowing that he was the one that she was looking for, asked him where she could find "Bruce Wayne" to which Bruce responded seemingly in jest that he did not know. Vicki took him seriously then left to continue looking for him.
  +
  +
Later, after he caught Vicki wandering the mansion along with reporter Alexander Knox, Bruce decided to follow them as they wandered into the mansion's armory, engaged them in conversation, and revealed himself to be the one that Vicki was searching for. However, as Vicki offered that she would like to photograph the mansion, Alfred appeared to alert Bruce of Gordon's sudden compulsion to leave the gala.
  +
  +
After he left the two journalists in the armory, Bruce reviewed the surveillance footage of Gordon and learned of a pending massing of mafia and police forces that gathered at Axis Chemicals.
  +
  +
After he learned of Gordon's potential plan to capture Jack Napier in order to get to crime boss Carl Grissom, Bruce decided to also go to Axis Chemicals to assist Gordon's forces in Napier's capture.
  +
  +
Arriving at the chemical plant, Bruce found himself walking into a firefight between Napier's Men and Gordon's Men. After he systematically worked his way through Napier's men, Bruce crossed paths with Gordon before he managed to catch sight of Napier.
  +
  +
About to apprehend him, Bruce was forced to let Napier go when his second, Bob, caught Gordon at gunpoint. After he let Napier kill Lt. Max Eckhardt, Bruce returned to distract Napier before he could escape. However, as a ricocheted bullet that was originally intended for Batman, pierced through Napier's face, Bruce attempted to save him from falling over the railing only to lose his grip and watch as Napier plummeted into the vat of chemicals below.
  +
  +
Having failed in capturing Napier, Gordon attempted to capture Batman only to have him disappear from his reach; and ascend to the factory's roof using his grapple.
  +
  +
The night a failure, Bruce left the plant and returned to the Batcave.
  +
  +
After he managed to gain a dinner date with Vicki, Bruce attempted a formal dinner in one of the manor's formal dinner rooms only to realize her uncomfortability. After Bruce and Vicki decided to eat in the manor's kitchen instead with Alfred, Alfred began to recount stories of Bruce's youth and Vicki and Bruce began to bond.
  +
  +
As Alfred left for bed, the pair left soon after; with Vicki slightly intoxicated. As Vicki fell asleep in his bed, Bruce stayed awake due to his insomnia and conflict over their growing bond; eventually, Bruce left to exercise until daybreak where he pretended to have fallen asleep on the couch.
  +
  +
"Awoken" by Vicki, Bruce turned down her offer to have lunch together; and said that he had an "important meeting" to attend, which was the anniversary of his parents' deaths. Fending off Vicki's further offers with the lie that he would be out of town, Bruce instead agreed that they would meet when he returned.
  +
  +
Later that day after Vicki had gone to work, Bruce left to perform the same ritual that he had performed every year since his parent's death; paying his respects at the alley where they died.
  +
  +
Having learned of his lie about going out of town that day and having found no information on him at the Gotham Gazette, Vicki secretly followed Bruce as he left the manor; she followed and watched as he entered the alley between Pearl and Phillips Street and lain a pair of roses on the pavement.
  +
  +
Not knowing of the significance of the alley, Vicki continued to follow Bruce as he wandered out of the alley into Gotham Square and a public announcement outside City Hall of Vinnie Ricorso taking control of Grissom's businesses.
  +
  +
As Bruce watched the announcement and subsequent interview by Knox, various mimes began to approach and surround the group until one mime interrupted the announcement and killed Ricorso with a quill.
  +
  +
After he recognized the mime as Jack Napier, a shocked Bruce didn't notice the subsequent gunfight that erupted around him as the other mimes opened fire on Ricorso's escorts and the police. While a bullet passed through his jacket, Bruce followed Napier as he escaped in a limousine with the other mimes; and was shaken out of his psychosis only after Vicki jostled him after the mimes escaped.
  +
  +
Bruce returns to the manor only to be confronted by Alfred who had learned about the gunfight from Vicki over the phone. As Bruce sat in the lounge, Alfred questioned him on his treatment of Vicki and his choice to live alone. While momentarily considering the issue, Bruce turned instead to the issue that Napier was still alive and lead Grissom's men.
  +
  +
While perusing acquired police files on Napier, Bruce caught the Action News television cast as the Joker hijacked the airwaves and announced his poisoning of various consumer products with Smylex.
  +
  +
After he learned of Napier's knowledge of chemistry, Bruce embarked with Alfred to acquire various products to conduct their own investigation into the Joker's poison.
  +
  +
A day and a half later, Bruce received a message from Vicki that said that she would be late going to a date with him at the Flugelheim Museum, even though he himself hadn't set up such a date.
  +
  +
Regardless, Bruce went to the museum, thinking that he had simply forgotten the date due to his fixation with solving the chemical cocktail that Joker was killing Gotham with, to discover that the Joker was inside the museum with his henchmen; destroying the exhibits and harassing Vicki; the apparently sole museum patron who was still alive.
  +
  +
Changing into the Batsuit and summoning the Batmobile to arrive at the location, Bruce broke into the museum through the skylight; grabbed Vicki, and escaped the museum by using the Gauntlet grapnel gun.
  +
  +
After he instructed Vicki to enter the Batmobile, which was parked outside the museum's entrance, the pair were pursued by Joker's Goons in their own cars; and the police pursued both factions soon after.
  +
  +
Easily outmaneuvering its pursuers, the Batmobile was forced to stop when it ran up against a construction project for the Anniversary Festival. Evacuating the vehicle, Bruce and Vicki ran down an alleyway where they were pursued again by the Joker's henchmen.
  +
  +
Attempting to escape by grappling them both to an overhead catwalk, Bruce was forced detach himself from the device after it couldn't handle the weight of two people. As Vicki was catapulted to the catwalk, Bruce fell back into the alley with the Joker's thugs. Shot point blank in the chest, Bruce was momentarily incapacitated; which allowed the Goons to partially take off his mask, however, as flashes from Vicki's camera took photos overhead distracted them, Bruce replaced his mask, dispatched them, and momentarily confronted Bob in the process.
  +
  +
Once the Goons were dispatched, Bruce turned his attention to retrieving Vicki, who disappeared from the rooftops that overlooked the alley and was in the process of hiding her photofilm. After he instructed the Batmobile to lead the police, who were surrounding the parked vehicle, on a chase through the streets as a diversion, Bruce managed to catch Vicki as she was descending a fire escape three buildings away. With Vicki in hand, Bruce ordered the Batmobile to retrieve them and then made their way back to the Batcave.
  +
  +
Once in the Batcave, Bruce explained the findings of his chemical investigations with Vicki, and handed her the research notes to release to the press. After a brief conversation, Bruce knocked Vicki out and took the role of film that she had hidden in her blouse before he returned her to her apartment.
  +
  +
While his findings were advertised on the evening addition of the Gotham Globe, Bruce moved on to locating the Joker's hideout.
  +
  +
As Alfred informed Bruce that Vicki had left another message, he advised that perhaps, due to her tenacity, it would be better if Bruce told her that he was Batman.
  +
  +
Taking Alfred's advice to heart, Bruce went over to Vicki's Apartment to confess his identity only to run up against her outrage over the one night stand, his refusal to answer her calls, and her concern over his behavior at the Gotham Square Shootout. While Bruce managed to calm Vicki down enough to begin to attempt to explain who he was, he was interrupted as the Joker and his Goons entered the apartment.
  +
  +
After he managed to get to the kitchen as the Joker entered, Bruce intuitively tucked a silver metal serving tray under his shirt before he entered the living room before Joker could further harass Vicki.
  +
  +
Perturbed by the presence of another man in the apartment, the Joker and Bruce exchanged small talk before Bruce himself hinted that he knew who Joker was previously and began to act violent. As Joker raised a gun towards Bruce, he asked the choice phrase that he asked all of his victims before he killed them; "You ever dance with the devil in the pale moon light?". Disturbed by the familiarity of the phrase, Bruce was shot in the chest; and the bullet was caught in the metal tray. Pushed into a corner by the impact Bruce opted to slump to the ground and play dead until the Joker and his Goons left the apartment and, while Vicki was distracted, he too escaped; and left the tray and the bullet behind.
  +
  +
After he returned to the Batcave, Bruce requested the files on his parents to check on something as he returned to locating the Joker's hideout; he managed to trace the Joker's operations to Axis Chemicals as Alfred delivered the files with a stern admission of his wariness of Bruce's obsession with his parents' deaths.
  +
  +
After the Joker once again hijacked the airwaves to declare a challenge towards Batman to be held during the anniversary festival, Bruce remembers the night of his parents' deaths and remembered Jack Napier as the mugger who killed them; he remembered Napier's catch phrase and his grin as he aimed his gun.
  +
  +
As Bruce awoke from his recollection, Alfred revealed that he let Vicki, who had deduced that Bruce was Batman, into the Batcave. As Alfred left, Vicki began to question Bruce on how he really felt about her and their relationship and admitted that she didn't know how to handle his duel persona. After he revealed that he, too, did not know what to really think about being Batman, Bruce admitted that he would have liked to form a relationship with her, but that as long as threats like the Joker were in Gotham, he wouldn't be able to.
  +
  +
After he left Vicki in the Batcave, Bruce then suited up to respond to the Joker's challenge; he took the Batmobile, used it to invade Axis Chemicals, and destroyed it.
  +
  +
As the Joker managed to escape via his Helicopter, Bruce returned to the Batcave to change vehicles as the Joker began the parade on Broad Avenue; and incited chaos by throwing money into the crowd. As Bruce returned in the Batwing, Joker then began to release Smylex from his parade balloons; which killed onlookers as they clambered over each other for the money. After he quickly used the Batwing to acquire and drag the balloons into open air away from the city, Bruce turned back and began strafing the avenue with guns and missiles, which killing many of Joker's men but missed Joker himself until Joker pulled out a long and modified handgun and shot down the Batwing in one shot.
  +
  +
After he crash-landed and exploded upon the stairs of the Gotham Cathedral, Bruce survived the Batwing's destruction and followed Joker into the cathedral as he abducted Vicki when she had attempted to free Bruce from the wreckage.
  +
  +
Doggedly following Joker and Vicki up the cathedral tower, and quickly moving aside as Joker sent the cathedral bell falling down from the Bell Tower and blocking the police from entering, Bruce entered the Bell Tower and fought the remainder of the Joker's Goons before he engaged and beat Joker senseless; he revealed how Napier had murdered his parents before he punched him over the edge of the cathedral.
  +
  +
The Joker, however, managed to stay up thanks to the building's gargoyles and attempted to drag both Batman and Vicki over the edge instead; and left them hanging over the edge as his helicopter arrived to collect him.
  +
  +
However, Bruce used a bolo launcher to tie one of the gargoyles to Joker's leg as Joker hung onto his helicopter's rope ladder and attempted to climb up. Weighed down by the statue, Joker was unable to ascend, and, as the gargoyle broke free from its foundations, his grip on the ladder faltered and he plummeted to the streets below to his death.
  +
  +
While they attempted to pull themselves back up onto the ledge, Bruce and Vicki also lost their grips and plummeted only to be saved by Bruce's Grapple Gun.
  +
  +
In the following days, Bruce sent a letter and a personalized searchlight/signal to Gotham City Hall in the spirit of cooperation with the GCPD and the Batsignal was unveiled to the general public during a press conference.

Revision as of 10:42, 19 March 2017

Batman is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, and first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939). Originally named the "Bat-Man", the character is also referred to by such epithets as the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, and the World's Greatest Detective.

Batman's secret identity is Bruce Wayne, an American billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, and owner of Wayne Enterprises. After witnessing the murder of his parents Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne as a child, he swore revenge on criminals, an oath tempered by a sense of justice. Wayne trains himself physically and intellectually and crafts a bat-inspired persona to fight crime. Batman operates in the fictional Gotham City, with assistance from various supporting characters, including his butler Alfred, police commissioner Jim Gordon, and vigilante allies such as Robin. Unlike most superheroes, Batman does not possess any superpowers; rather, he relies on his genius intellect, physical prowess, martial arts abilities, detective skills, science and technology, vast wealth, intimidation, and indomitable will. A large assortment of villains make up Batman's rogues gallery, including his archenemy, the Joker.

Batman became popular soon after his introduction in 1939 and gained his own comic book title, Batman, the following year. As the decades went on, differing interpretations of the character emerged. The late 1960s Batman television series used a camp aesthetic, which continued to be associated with the character for years after the show ended. Various creators worked to return the character to his dark roots, culminating in 1986 with The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. The success of Warner Bros.' live-action Batman feature films have helped maintain public interest in the character.

An American cultural icon, Batman has been licensed and adapted into a variety of media, from radio to television and film, and appears on a variety of merchandise sold all over the world, such as toys and video games. The character has also intrigued psychiatrists, with many trying to understand the character's psyche. In May 2011, Batman placed second on IGN's Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time, after Superman. Empire magazine listed him second in their 50 Greatest Comic Book Characters of All Time. Kevin Conroy, Bruce Greenwood, Peter Weller, and Jason O'Mara, among others, have provided the character's voice for animated adaptations. Batman has been portrayed in both film and television by Lewis Wilson, Robert Lowery, Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, and Ben Affleck.

Personality

Batman has a reputation of being a dark, angst ridden vigilante. With a gloomy persona, and a violent streak, he has earned the title "The Dark Knight." However Batman is first and foremost a superhero, and has a strong sense of honor and morality, as he will not kill his opponents, knowing that by doing so, he will succumb to his inner demons in full. That said, Batman is nothing if not pragmatic, and comfortably employs almost any other means or resources necessary to get the job done, and has shown a willingness to manipulate friends as well as enemies in the pursuits of his goals.

He also suffers from being anti-social, critical of others (and himself on occasions), and is often incapable of pursuing a long-lasting relationship with anyone, as evidenced by his repeated failures with Catwoman, Talia al Ghul, Zatanna, and others. Batman is a loner and makes a point of solely working and operating alone as a result of incidents such as the traumatic loss of Jason Todd. He is therefore extremely independent, to the point that he refuses bluntly to be a part of the team or to accept assistance from other people who could ultimately help him a great deal.

Despite his social faults, he is extremely intelligent - a super-genius with twelve Master degrees and an unparalleled knowledge of criminology, combat and technology. Batman is also the world's greatest detective, and can analyse and memorise even the tiniest of details, including the shape of a cheek he has punched.

As his alter ego Bruce Wayne, he presents himself to the world as a largely self-absorbed and irresponsible (if not also charity-driven) playboy and philanthropist. Only his closest allies know that this attitude is just an act and a further demonstration of his genius.

Physical Appearance

Bruce Wayne is an slender handsome man with fair skin, strong muscles and abs, black hair, and blue eyes. As Bruce Wayne, he wears a business suit or a tuxedo.

As the superhero Batman, he wears a grey armored suit with a black bat crest on the center of the chest and the utility belt that contains the gadgets that Batman needs. He wears black head cowl with pointy bat ears, matching elbow-length gloves with three fins on the side angled backwards, briefs, boots, and floor length cape that expands in a shape of bat wings.

The Tim Burton Batsuit

In the 1989 film, Batman wears an black Batsuit with the yellow ellipse emblem containing the black two pointed bat symbol, he also dons a black cowl with pointy bat ears and a yellow utility belt. He used heavy armor for his chest, forearms, and boots. He has an floor length back cape with bat textures and expanded in the shape of bat wings.

In Batman Returns, the suit is updated to a more angular version and the bat emblem now has an additional point.

The Joel Schumacher Batsuit

In Batman Forever, Batman has two batsuits (both dubbed the "Kilmer-suit" due to Bruce Wayne/Batman being played by Val Kilmer) the first of which, known as the "Panther Suit", focuses on a more stream-lined anatomical design than the Keaton-suits and a black utility belt instead of a yellow one. Like in Batman Returns, this Batsuit features numerous suit-pieces to be chosen and assembled by Bruce in the Batcave.

A notable feature of the "Panther Suit" is a button on the utility belt which causes a fireproof coating to excrete from and cover the cape, allowing Batman to wrap it around himself as a shield from extreme fires.

After the regular Batsuits are destroyed by The Riddler, Bruce forcefully uses a prototype "Sonar Suit", an iridescent silvery-black suit that possesses a more armour-like design than the "Panther Suit". The suit features a new bat symbol that is spread across the chest instead of being confined within an ellipse like in previous batsuits. This new Batsuit utilizes lenses that slide automatically over the cowl's eyeholes to display a sonar-generated image of Batman's surroundings to him, allowing him to see with more accuracy in extreme darkness or glare.

The Dark Knight Batsuit

Batman uses a rejected prototype armor suit from the army that he sprayed with black rubber and added a bat symbol. He also dons a black bat head cowl to go with it along with matching wrist cuffs, gloves, boots, and a floor length cape that expands in a shape of bat wings, and wears a gold utility belt.

Batman

While Bruce publicly devoted his money and attention to cleaning up Gotham, his forays against the criminal underworld continued; which encouraged rumor and superstition of himself to manifest amongs the populace. As Batman, Bruce became attached to the Gotham Cathedral; that was once the spiritual center of the city, and took to surveying the city from among the cathedral's towers during patrols. It was during one of those surveys that he heard the scream of Harold's Wife as she and her son, were victims of a mugging, lain next their prone husband/father.

After he tracked the two thugs responsible, Batman took the opportunity to use them to spread word of his presence in Gotham. Bruce's attention to being Batman, however, meant that he was unable to attend the celebratory event of Harvey Dent as Gotham's new District Attorney; his seat as one of Dent's prominent electoral supporters was notably empty.

Holding a charity gala at Wayne Manor to help fund the flailing Gotham City 200th Anniversary Parade, Bruce was forced to attend the event due to his duties as a host, however, he ensured that the mansion's surveillance system tracked key guests such as Commissioner James Gordon, Harvey Dent and Mayor Borg, to gather possible intelligence on Gotham's affairs.

While he attended to his duties as host, Bruce was harried by photographer Vicki Vale who, not knowing that he was the one that she was looking for, asked him where she could find "Bruce Wayne" to which Bruce responded seemingly in jest that he did not know. Vicki took him seriously then left to continue looking for him.

Later, after he caught Vicki wandering the mansion along with reporter Alexander Knox, Bruce decided to follow them as they wandered into the mansion's armory, engaged them in conversation, and revealed himself to be the one that Vicki was searching for. However, as Vicki offered that she would like to photograph the mansion, Alfred appeared to alert Bruce of Gordon's sudden compulsion to leave the gala.

After he left the two journalists in the armory, Bruce reviewed the surveillance footage of Gordon and learned of a pending massing of mafia and police forces that gathered at Axis Chemicals.

After he learned of Gordon's potential plan to capture Jack Napier in order to get to crime boss Carl Grissom, Bruce decided to also go to Axis Chemicals to assist Gordon's forces in Napier's capture.

Arriving at the chemical plant, Bruce found himself walking into a firefight between Napier's Men and Gordon's Men. After he systematically worked his way through Napier's men, Bruce crossed paths with Gordon before he managed to catch sight of Napier.

About to apprehend him, Bruce was forced to let Napier go when his second, Bob, caught Gordon at gunpoint. After he let Napier kill Lt. Max Eckhardt, Bruce returned to distract Napier before he could escape. However, as a ricocheted bullet that was originally intended for Batman, pierced through Napier's face, Bruce attempted to save him from falling over the railing only to lose his grip and watch as Napier plummeted into the vat of chemicals below.

Having failed in capturing Napier, Gordon attempted to capture Batman only to have him disappear from his reach; and ascend to the factory's roof using his grapple.

The night a failure, Bruce left the plant and returned to the Batcave.

After he managed to gain a dinner date with Vicki, Bruce attempted a formal dinner in one of the manor's formal dinner rooms only to realize her uncomfortability. After Bruce and Vicki decided to eat in the manor's kitchen instead with Alfred, Alfred began to recount stories of Bruce's youth and Vicki and Bruce began to bond.

As Alfred left for bed, the pair left soon after; with Vicki slightly intoxicated. As Vicki fell asleep in his bed, Bruce stayed awake due to his insomnia and conflict over their growing bond; eventually, Bruce left to exercise until daybreak where he pretended to have fallen asleep on the couch.

"Awoken" by Vicki, Bruce turned down her offer to have lunch together; and said that he had an "important meeting" to attend, which was the anniversary of his parents' deaths. Fending off Vicki's further offers with the lie that he would be out of town, Bruce instead agreed that they would meet when he returned.

Later that day after Vicki had gone to work, Bruce left to perform the same ritual that he had performed every year since his parent's death; paying his respects at the alley where they died.

Having learned of his lie about going out of town that day and having found no information on him at the Gotham Gazette, Vicki secretly followed Bruce as he left the manor; she followed and watched as he entered the alley between Pearl and Phillips Street and lain a pair of roses on the pavement.

Not knowing of the significance of the alley, Vicki continued to follow Bruce as he wandered out of the alley into Gotham Square and a public announcement outside City Hall of Vinnie Ricorso taking control of Grissom's businesses.

As Bruce watched the announcement and subsequent interview by Knox, various mimes began to approach and surround the group until one mime interrupted the announcement and killed Ricorso with a quill.

After he recognized the mime as Jack Napier, a shocked Bruce didn't notice the subsequent gunfight that erupted around him as the other mimes opened fire on Ricorso's escorts and the police. While a bullet passed through his jacket, Bruce followed Napier as he escaped in a limousine with the other mimes; and was shaken out of his psychosis only after Vicki jostled him after the mimes escaped.

Bruce returns to the manor only to be confronted by Alfred who had learned about the gunfight from Vicki over the phone. As Bruce sat in the lounge, Alfred questioned him on his treatment of Vicki and his choice to live alone. While momentarily considering the issue, Bruce turned instead to the issue that Napier was still alive and lead Grissom's men.

While perusing acquired police files on Napier, Bruce caught the Action News television cast as the Joker hijacked the airwaves and announced his poisoning of various consumer products with Smylex.

After he learned of Napier's knowledge of chemistry, Bruce embarked with Alfred to acquire various products to conduct their own investigation into the Joker's poison.

A day and a half later, Bruce received a message from Vicki that said that she would be late going to a date with him at the Flugelheim Museum, even though he himself hadn't set up such a date.

Regardless, Bruce went to the museum, thinking that he had simply forgotten the date due to his fixation with solving the chemical cocktail that Joker was killing Gotham with, to discover that the Joker was inside the museum with his henchmen; destroying the exhibits and harassing Vicki; the apparently sole museum patron who was still alive.

Easily outmaneuvering its pursuers, the Batmobile was forced to stop when it ran up against a construction project for the Anniversary Festival. Evacuating the vehicle, Bruce and Vicki ran down an alleyway where they were pursued again by the Joker's henchmen.

While Bruce managed to calm Vicki down enough to begin to attempt to explain who he was, he was interrupted as the Joker and his Goons entered the apartment.

Weighed down by the statue, Joker was unable to ascend, and, as the gargoyle broke free from its foundations, his grip on the ladder faltered and he plummeted to the streets below to his death.

While they attempted to pull themselves back up onto the ledge, Bruce and Vicki also lost their grips and plummeted only to be saved by Bruce's Grapple Gun.

In the following days, Bruce sent a letter and a personalized searchlight/signal to Gotham City Hall in the spirit of cooperation with the GCPD and the Batsignal was unveiled to the general public during a press conference.

Trivia

  • Batman doesn't drink alcohol to keep his physical state at his peak, but he tricks others around him by consuming ginger ale and pretending that it's alcohol.
  • Batman chooses not to kill because it would make him no better than the criminals he defeats. For the Joker in particular he has come to terms with the fact that the Joker doesn't deserve death but deserves to suffer for the crimes he's committed and death would be an "act of mercy".
