Darth Wiki / BAT Corps

Battalion Advanced Tacticians (B.A.T.) Corps. is a fan-made work based on the Batman mythos. Batman and associated characters and properties belong to DC Comics, Warner Brothers, and the estate of Bob Kane. I claim neither ownership of any pre-existing Batman characters nor am profiting from it.

Now that my creator has put out his statement to cover his posterior from legal threats, shall we begin to take a look her "ingeniously" (*cough*pretentious!) made work of Fan Fiction.

• Artistic License: This fan work is derived from a multitude of storylines, including elements of the Batman: Arkham Series, The Dark Knight Trilogy, the DC Animated Universe (including Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond), and to some degree other DC Animated series and features (Young Justice and Batman: Under the Red Hood). Yes, so very original.
• Broad Strokes: This fan work is derived from a multitude of storylines, including elements of the Batman: Arkham Series, The Dark Knight Trilogy, the DC Animated Universe (including Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond), and to some degree other DC Animated series and features (Young Justice and Batman: Under the Red Hood). Yes, so very original.
• Black-and-Gray Morality:
• Big Bad: Well, I could tell you right away, but that would be spoiling all the fun of you being able to figure it out yourself... not that one should have in any faith in the likes of you, but still.
• Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: The Heroes generally do not go by any code names in this story, though this is averted in the case of the antagonists.
• Canon Foreigner: Gwendoleyn Todd, a younger sister of Jason Todd, is invented specifically for this story, though I honestly believe that "Mary Sue" would have been more accurate. Oh, and also the "John Blake" listed below is based on the character from The Dark Knight Rises.
• Expy: Goddamn, not again you kleptomaniac! Have you no honor?
• Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: It is tilted on the side of Cynicism, for after all, Undiluted Cynicism is the highest form of Wisdom and Idealism even at the mildest is but Baseless Dishonesty that benefits society's those in power and at worst is the motivation of Fanatical Extremists. Later, Reconstructed in that Friendship, Love, and Virtue are not weaknesses, because without those traits humanity would have died out long ago and that excessive Logic can also be detrimental it leads Owlman/ Thomas Wayne Jr. and later AJPV to become a Ozymandias-style antagonist and outright Nihilistic respective. Thus Idealism is a sort of Noble Lie.
