## Moveset

Despite being one of the few members of the Justice League without any extra-human enhancements, Batman has proven himself to be just as formidable as any super-powered hero against the forces of evil. Batman is prepared for just about every situation and his predicament is legendary. His strength, speed, agility, durability, reflexes, willpower and intelligence are as sharp and toned as one could possibly be without being superhuman. He is proficient in most known martial arts, and possesses incredible skill and superb intellect and wit. In addition to high levels of training in combat, Batman employs the use of military-grade technologies and gadgets developed by his family's company that assist him in his war on crime. Batman is never seen without his famous Utility Belt, which he equips to arm himself with any item needed for any problem that could present itself in the field, primarily for combat and investigation.

In addition, his Batsuit acts as a durable body armor because it is reinforced with triple-weaved kevlar inlays and carbon nanotube filters. It functions as both a disguise and a symbol that strikes fear into his enemies, due to its dark and menacing appearance.

In gameplay, Batman is relatively fast and excels at mid-range, and has a lot of different options once he closes the distance. He's an offensive fighter with plenty of damaging combos under his belt to unleash onto his opponent. Meanwhile, Batman can make use of his Batarangs to give him decent power at a distance and his grapple gun makes it easier for the Dark Knight to close the gap between him and his opponent.
