Batman

## How Batman joined the Tourney

Six months following the Joker's rampage, Commisioner Gordon informs Batman that Joker's Titan Formula has found its way into Gotham City and has turned up in the form of brother-sister team T&T. Wasting no time, Batman correctly suspects TwoFace to be T&T's previous employer, based on the fact that a pair of mirror images like T&T working together would be prime candidates for recruitment into Two-Face's gang. Unfortunately, he spotted Xiahou Dun killing members of Two Face's gang with his podao sword.

## Special Attacks

### Batarang (Neutral)

Batman throws one of his batarangs at his opponent.

### Smoke Bomb (Side)

Batman throws a smoke bomb at his opponent. If it connects, it obscures the vision and messes up the controls for a few seconds.

Batman takes his grapple gun and shoots it upwards. Should it hit a platform edge, he will grapple to it.

### Leaping Shadow Kick (Down)

Batman jumps up and does a flying back kick at his opponent.

### Bat Swarm (Hyper Smash)

Batman throws a batarang at his opponent, which emits sonic waves that summons a swarm of bats to attack the opponent. After 6 seconds, Batman shuts the opponent up by doing a karate punch, knocking him/her away.

### The Dark Knight (Final Smash)

Based on his Super Move from *Injustice: Gods Among Us*, Batman throws a smoke batarang at the opponent, quickly inputs his co-ordinates to the Batmobile as he says "You should think more carefully.", then shocks the enemy with two tazers and follows up with a knee to the face. He then throws an explosive batarang at the opponent and the Batmobile drives in to run over the opponent.
