Batman (The Batman 2022)

## Powers & Abilities

* **Peak Human Condition:** Bruce keeps in good physical shape and regularly goes to the gym, having designed his own exercise routine to work his muscles for lean strength and speed instead of bulk. This makes him very strong, being able to take down a man with a single punch while holding back his full strength, and very fast, carrying a woman to safety before a fuel tank explosion.
* **Martial Arts:** Bruce was trained by Alfred in martial arts and hand-to-hand combat, and during his college years he studied martial arts with masters in different countries, borrowing moves and tactics from each discipline to become a truly dangerous fighter. He spent thousands of hours perfecting his skills as a fighter to the point where Alfred could no longer catch him off guard. Two years after he began fighting crime, he singlehandedly defeated the Train Gang, defeated Penguin's henchmen in the Iceberg Lounge twice, knocked down Gordon with a single punch, and fought against Riddler's army of followers.

* **Batmobile:** As the Batman, Bruce drives a black muscle car which he personally modified to increase speed. The car features a free-flow, large-diameter true dual exhaust system, a high-flow fuel pump, large-diameter gas lines to get more fuel and air into the engine while keeping the ratio right. The car is powerful but tuned, sporting performance cylinder heads and a supercharger, and the weight has been decreased weight by having the trunk and hood replaced with carbon fiber versions, as well as replacing the panels with ones made from lighter material, and removing everything he deemed unnecessary. Bruce has also contemplated using iridium spark plugs, he shortened the shaft of his gearshift so he could shift through the gears more quickly, he lubricated everything and he cut down the car's wind resistance as much as possible.

## Weakness

* **Mental Disorder:** Bruce seems to suffer from severe depression and anxiety, given his family's history with mental illness, obsession over the tragedy in his life, general social isolation, quiet behavior, and occasional violent outbursts of rage. He begins to heal after learning the truth about his parents, bonding with Selina Kyle, and learning the Riddler was inspired by his crusade of vengeance, but he is still clearly suffering to a visible extent, as he still maintains a rather closed-off nature and continues his obsessive crusade as the Batman, now in a flooded city.
