How to Play Batman

Use Batman's Gadget for Spacing

Batman's Batarang and Bat-Bomb can be used to attack foes from a distance when you need some breathing room while Grapple Snipe and Slide Kick can be used to effectively close the distance while being on the offensive.

Keep Track of Your Cooldowns

Batman Character Profile

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.
