▸ Hero · Nocturnal vigilante of modern Gotham's gothic noir
BATMAN
The world is a cruel, corrupt place ruled by fear and chaos. Ordinary people are one bad day from becoming monsters, so they must be protected by a symbol that strikes terror into the hearts of criminals. Justice is not mercy or rehabilitation — it is preparation, contingency, and unrelenting will. Killing is a line that can never be crossed, because then the darkness wins.
Voice
gravelly, low, clipped baritone that sounds like gravel poured over broken glass.
