An Idea for enproving batman

Imagin this. Bruce Waynes family grew up fairly poor in the Mean streets of detroit. A random act of Crime kill both his paraent leaving only his uncle alfred to raise him. Bruce grows up to become the vigilante know as "Batman".

Brief costume discription: Hood similar to spidermans but still has horns. Cape used for flying between buildings. Made out of fabric instead of bullet proof armor.

Villin Discription: more crooked cops and drug dealers than guys like jocker.

please tell me what you think. P.S. theres no vow not to kill

um...why not just invent a new character then...no need to change a classic. Notice i didn't say "improve"...but "change."

Thats the problm batman has some really great point its just bad guys like the joker and penguin are murder to the plot.

besides Its more like an alternate universe

Sounds like a bad idea to me. If I wanted to read about a vigilante murdering ordinary criminals, I'd pick up Punisher.

The Penguin sucks. He should really lose the umbrella gimmick because it's not getting him anywhere.

Joker kicks ass though.

Personally, I think if they want to improve Batman, they need to introduce more villians. I mean, how many relatively new villians are there? There's Bane, Harley Quinn, Hush, and that guy who cuts himself every time he kills somebody--and of those three, Bane is dead and the last two are fairly minor. To an extent, this lack of inovations has caused the series to stagnate.

Well, Batman has his share of new villians, but they tend to be one-shots. IE they have their issue or series and they get killed at the end of them. But Bats could use some more new steady villians. Of course, since Batman is human, he can be pitted against more conventional problems (like plague, earthquakes, politics, that kind of thing) then most heroes, since most heroes are powerful enough to make those sorts of things mundane. But with Batman it's interesting, which I think is why Batman doesn't get as many new villians as some other heroes, because the writers have more interesting situations he can be put in that don't nessesarily require a villian.

And how did Bane die?

Im not talking about ordinary criminals more like drug lords and crooked cops. kinpin instead of joker if you know what I mean

Well, with all the technology you'd think Batman would have some sort of self-propelled flight by now at least.

Yeah, I love the whole "grappling hook thingy" idea, but i'd love to see Batman able to fly, like in Batman Beyond. It sounds blasphemous as hell, but I think in this day and age, Bats should be able to at least fly, even if its for short amount of time. Like he's be able to launch himself, and then glide.

A flying Batman would be very realistic, you could limit it so that he still requires his Batwing and Batmobile - I think the idea used in Batman Beyond had the balance just right - he still had to run around an awful lot.

I do not want to see Batman turned into Iron Man. No doubt he should have self-propelled flight, and head-to-toe Azraelesque armor protecting, and low-powered energy weapons to stun his enemies, and use boom-tubes to get around. You'd think, with all of the technology of both Waynetech and the JLA (and probably the JSA, too) at his fingertips, he'd have all these things--but I, for one, am very glad that he doesn't.

BATMAN IS GREAT THE WAY HE IS! 😠

how about gliding from building to building.

1# he needs to kill people

2# more realist villians

The day Batman starts killing people is the day I stop reading Batman comics.

why? are you anti-death penelty? Think about it the joker is one sick puppy he dosent deserve to live. the punisher could have stop joker a long time ago.

I'm anti-murderous vigilante. My take on the death penalty isn't relevant. You said elsewhere that you prefer Punisher to Batman; from your suggestions, it sounds to me like you want to turn Batman into Punisher.

No just a bit more realistic. The biggest problem is batman Is a moody dark character and his vow not to kill kinda is a problem for his character

Batman is realistic to a extent, Joker is like Ted Bundy, they both even have Ties. The villians are realistic in the evil acts they do, If I wanted to I could kill a lot of people and no one can stop me.
Batman deals with the killers, muders and rapeitcs, He deals with villians that harm the public, We in real life have our own outstanding villians, like Bundy, Dahmer, Gacy ete. So imo the villians are realictic.

oh yeah I like Batman the way he is anyway. dont change something that ant broke.
