I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Batman!

Batman is a comic-book superhero with a chiropteran theme. He was once Bruce Wayne, child of wealthy philanthropists, but while his family were out and about (in the crime-ridden city of Gotham, which is totally not New York City), his parents were killed by a mugger. Heartbroken, he traveled the world, studying criminology and martial arts; when he returned to Gotham, he used his inherited fortune (and/or company, depending on the era) to develop tools to become a crime-fighter. Knowing from his studies that criminals are generally a superstitious and cowardly lot, he developed the costume and persona of the Batman, a creature of the night who brings terror to the wicked.

In addition to the usual ne'er-do-wells and low-level criminals of a major city, Batman regularly fights with a "Rogues Gallery" of equally costumed villains -- the Joker (the self-styled "Clown Prince of Crime"), Catwoman (a cat-burglar who flirts with Batman as frequently as she fights with him), and Mr. Freeze (a scientist-turned-criminal from an accident caused by an amoral business rival) are among the most widely-known.

Batman Miniatures Game

There is one, by Knight Miniatures. It's a skirmish game, in which players create bands based on major characters and factions, and attempt to take objectives, or just knock out everyone on the opposite team.
