Batman

Bruce Wayne, better known by his super hero name, Batman, is a playable fighter in MultiVersus.

Official Biography
''The World’s Greatest Detective. He is the night. He is Batman. ''

The Caped Crusader and defender of Gotham City known only as Batman was born the night that a young Bruce Wayne saw his parents gunned down in front of him. Since that day, he has pledged to battle crime and protect the people of Gotham City. Despite having no superpowers or extraordinary abilities, his dedication, willpower, and intelligence have helped him stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the universe’s greatest heroes. His arsenal of cutting-edge gadgets funded by his family fortune doesn’t hurt, either.
