Description
"I am vengeance! I am the night! I am Batman!"

Batman, the legendary Dark Knight Rival, descends to bring justice to the world of Aether! Patrolling the streets of Gotham City, the name "Batman" has struck fear and terror into the hearts of evildoers for decades. Sporting a variety of gadgets and a lifetime of training in countless forms of martial arts, this caped crusader is a set-up based rushdown, excelling in swift, high-damage combos, while relying on his arsenal of gadgets to secure KOs.

Batman also has a unique voice mode toggle on his character select screen, featuring voice lines from MultiVersus.

Neutral Special: Grappling Hook

Batman fires his grappling hook, which can be used to hone in on enemies and terrain, pulling you directly into them for combos, or to aid your recovery. The attack can also be angled upward on startup, or even downward while in the air. Upon use, the attack has a slight cooldown.

Side Special: Batarang

Batman throws his iconic Batarang, sending it flying through the air horizontally, before returning in the opposite direction. The attack lingers onstage for some time, making it an excellent tool for controlling space. Depending on directional input on startup, the attack can also be thrown upwards if grounded, or downwards while in the air- however, the attack will not return in these instances. Similar to his neutral special, Batarang also has a slight cooldown on use, however the attack can still be used to recover some aerial momentum.

Down Special: Shock Gauntlets

Batman electrifies his gauntlets. While in this state, his movement speed is increased dramatically, and his FSTRONG and UPSTRONG gain new, electrified properties- being able to KO opponents much sooner. Landing these unique electrified attacks will cause the move to discharge, ending the state. There is a tradeoff, however, as during this state, Batman's jump height is reduced significantly, making offstage play notably risky.

Up Special: Rising Knight

Batman uses his cape to ascend upward sharply, before descending into a freefall state. A straightforward attack with somewhat lacking vertical reach. This attack has a sourspot and a sweetspot, enabling it to finish off combos and potentially secure KOs.

Other notable moves

Descending Glide
Batman can perform a glide if the jump button is held down, allowing him to stall in the air. In this state, any aerial attack can be performed. He will then descend slowly for a short while, before falling.

Dash Attack: Takedown
Batman lunges forward, taking the opponent into his grasp with a swift tackle, before kicking them away. This attack can be sent in one of two directions depending on directional input mid-tackle- forward if no input is received, or backward if held in the opposite direction you are facing.

Down Air: Crashing Justice
Batman performs a short flip, before striking down below himself with his heel. The attack can be charged for increased damage and knockback, making it a devastating killmove.

Down Strong: Shift
Batman throws a smoke bomb onto the floor, obscuring the area around him for a short time while dealing damage to opponents caught in the blast. Similar to Mollo before him, this attack can be held left or right after the bomb is deployed, allowing him to shift to a predetermined direction for mixups.

This character is awesome, feels super fun to play! We need more superheroes in Rivals! The only thing that could make this perfect for me is if you could grapple hook your own Batarang, like Morcilo before him can.
