The conceit was "What if Stan Lee created the DC Universe?" Lee was then paired with some of the greatest comic book artists of the 21st Century on a series of prestige format one-shots where they would re-imagine a famous DC superhero. Batman (drawn by Joe Kubert) was about a young man named Wayne Williams, whose police officer father was murdered. Williams lived in a bad part of town and after he stood up to a local thug, the gangster ruined Williams' life by framing him for robbery and attempted murder. Williams built himself into a perfect physical specimen while in prison and also took on a bat as a pet. Batman has no inherent superhuman powers; he relies on "his own scientific knowledge, detective skills, and athletic prowess". [28] Batman's inexhaustible wealth gives him access to advanced technologies, and as a proficient scientist, he is able to use and modify these technologies to his advantage. In the stories, Batman is regarded as one of the world's greatest detectives, if not the world's greatest crime solver. [118] Batman has been repeatedly described as having a genius-level intellect, being one of the greatest martial artists in the DC Universe, and having peak human physical and mental conditioning. [119] As a polymath, his knowledge and expertise in countless disciplines is nearly unparalleled by any other character in the DC Universe. He has shown prowess in assorted fields such as mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, and several levels of engineering. [120] He has traveled the world acquiring the skills needed to aid him in his endeavors as Batman. In the Superman: Doomed story arc, Superman considers Batman to be one of the most brilliant minds on the planet. [121] By 1942, the writers and artists behind the Batman comics had established most of the basic elements of the Batman mythos. [34] In the years following World War II, DC Comics "adopted a postwar editorial direction that increasingly de-emphasized social commentary in favor of lighthearted juvenile fantasy". The impact of this editorial approach was evident in Batman comics of the postwar period; removed from the "bleak and menacing world" of the strips of the early 1940s, Batman was instead portrayed as a respectable citizen and paternal figure that inhabited a "bright and colorful" environment.

A big part of Batman of course is his physical prowess. His strength, speed and endurance. He has the technique necessary to throw a brutal punch but also the sheer muscle to put behind it. In those days it was like, one artist and he had his name over it [the comic strip] — the policy of DC in the comic books was, if you can't write it, obtain other writers, but their names would never appear on the comic book in the finished version. So Bill never asked me for it [the byline] and I never volunteered — I guess my ego at that time. And I felt badly, really, when he [Finger] died. [20] Brooker, Will (2001). Batman Unmasked.

DC Comics would later announce that Grayson would be the main character in Batman, Detective Comics, and Batman and Robin, while Wayne would be the main character in Batman Incorporated. Also, Bruce appeared in another ongoing series, Batman: The Dark Knight.Just the toys will not do you any good. You need to practice with them on the streets and while fighting crime. There will be a lot of hiccups and mistakes, and you will probably end up with a few broken bones, or maybe a lot of them too. Batman keeps most of his field equipment in his utility belt. Over the years it has shown to contain an assortment of crime-fighting tools, weapons, and investigative and technological instruments. Different versions of the belt have these items stored in compartments, often as pouches or hard cylinders attached evenly around it.
