Character Bio - After witnessing a shadowy mugger shoot down his parents before his eyes in what has since become known as Crime Alley, young Bruce Wayne swore to devote his life to protecting the innocent of Gotham and ridding the city of the evil that had taken his parents' lives. Inheriting the untold wealth of the Wayne Corporation, Bruce spent years abroad, studying martial arts, criminology, and other intense intellectual and physical pursuits. He uses his immense resources to establish a secret base of operations beneath his mansion and to build an arsenal of vehicles and crime fighting weaponry. However, he realizes that none of this will be enough in his one man war waged on crime. Deciding that "criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot," Bruce adopts the likeness of a bat to strike fear into their hearts. Back in the city of his youth, after all his years of training, Bruce Wayne is a master of hand to hand combat, a superior inventor, and the world's greatest detective. He is vengeance. He is the night. Bruce Wayne is The Batman.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Q: What happens when the Zombies or Roman Archers or other squads with a combined special attack go after Batman, but Batman rolls for Evasive Strike?
• A: Zombies can totally bypass the Evasive Strike with their special attack, because it is not just one figure attacking, it is all three.

OK, so he just needs the character bio to be complete. No synergies yet, but I think that will change once we release a "Robin." (That Sidekick power we put together would be just awesome to go C3G on, Balantai).

I completely agree.

Please critique Batman's bio. I wrote it myself.

It's good, but I hope you don't mind if I suggest a few tweaks for my favorite character ...

I'm a numbers guy, Bats. As far as I'm concerned, you can write all of the Bios.

I think people are mostly just lifting paragraphs from wikipedia (which is fine, as far as I'm concerned. )

That is what I did.

I think that it should be mentioned under -Strategy, Tactics and Tips- that Evasive Strike can be countered by any special power that inflicts wounds, any ranged attack from 6 or more spaces away from Batman, and any attack that did not require "Clear Line of Sight".

But you have to be especially clever to pull off the last of those, by actually using terrain to block Batman's LOS when you're shooting at him.

The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the Batman: Alpha set. Its model number and name is 031/ The Batman.

This info belongs directly under the cards in the first post. Use this as an example.

Actually, the Batman Alpha figure is a reproduction. The original was a Collateral Damage GenCon Exclusive #223 Dark Knight. It usually sells for cheaper and apparently ther were ALOT of these produced as miniature market is flooded with this fig.
