I am a man with a mission, not of vengeance but a long-term plan to rid Gotham from the evil that holds it. I seek to rehabilitate criminals while as Batman I remove those that persist in offending. Those in the suburbs and country consider me an urban legend, yet the transient criminal population of Gotham and the country know me from rumour and experience. As a member of the JLA I am the brains behind the operation only occasionally taking a fully active part in the missions. I prefer to act as an advisor and one-man think tank. The only member of the team that I fully trust is Superman because he is the nearest to my profession amongst us. There is a city in the north of the United States by the name of Gotham City, once a major industrial centre it was hit badly by the Great Depression and has never really recovered. Crime rates rose, corrupt officials and despair set in despite the best efforts of the original Green Lantern and Black Canary. The darkness had taken the city and it would take a Dark Knight to reclaim it.
