Batman is a superhero who protects Gotham City from the supervillains who run amok. Helping in his crusade against injustice, is his loyal teenage sidekick, Robin, faithful Ace the Bat-Hound, and the independent Batgirl. He and Robin are also members of the Mystery Analysts of Gotham City and the Super Friends.

Physical appearance[]

Batman is a middle-aged male with an athletic build. He wears a gray bodysuit, with a bat-symbol surrounded by a yellow oval on his chest; along with a long blue cape, blue briefs, blue gloves and boots, a blue cowl and a yellow utility belt.

Personality[]

Batman is completely devoted to the cause of justice and protecting the weak. He is a very level headed person who respects his partner, Robin as an equal. Most of the time he talks in a stoic, deadpan manner, although he is not without humor and warmth when the situation arises.

Skills and abilities[]

Batman has no superpowers, such as x-ray vision and the ability to fly, but has trained his mind and body to their highest peaks over a period of several years. He also has a great level of endurance. He is also a highly skilled martial artist.

Equipment[]

Batman has a utility belt, which contain pouches, with a wide spectrum of tools for his war on crime.

  • Batlight: Only Robin used this item, but it can be widely assumed that Batman also has this common tool.
  • Batline: with bat-hook.
  • Miniature bat-radio: If trapped, he can send out a signal of his whereabouts to the Gotham City police. It seems to be stored in the belt buckle itself.

He also carries bat-cookies and bat-snacks.

History[]

The New Scooby-Doo Movies[]

Season one[]

Mystery Inc. first encountered Batman and Robin by accident when they both stumbled upon a plane making an unscheduled round in the night. A jeep carrying a large crate headed toward an old farm house. The gang suspected fowl play and went to investigate the old farm house. Inside they find the crate strapped to the floor, but soon they hear a noise. As they hide, Shaggy finds out that every piece of furniture is nailed to the floor. Much to their surprise and excitement, the gang learn that Batman and Robin have shown up too.

Like them, Batman and Robin saw the plane making a round in the night without any headlights. He and Robin suspected that people were smuggling contraband into the country. Then they soon hear a noise and it comes from an old woman, Mrs. Baker, who lives in this old house. Batman asks if she knows anything about the crate, but she tells them she has never seen it before. They open it to find a punch clown, which Batman describes as "an amusing toy". After tossing the punch clown away and Scooby playing with it, its head breaks off and reveals it is filled with counterfeit money: dollar bills depicting Abraham Lincoln wearing an anachronistic turtleneck sweater.

They decided to look outside for fresh tire tracks, Batman and the gang learned it lead to an old junkyard for cars. While there, they found the jeep, but its drivers have left it behind. Batman looked inside a trash compactor to see if anyone was hiding in it. While Robin attached a light at the top of a crane. Unknown to them, the mastermind they were looking for was skulking around in the junkyard and took control of the crane Robin was climbing on and intended to drop an old car in the compactor. Batman narrowly escaped, but noticed Shaggy and Scooby were in a car about to be dropped in. Shaggy and Scooby escaped, but lost the mastermind they were looking for who used Fred as a scapegoat.

They returned to the house to see it had completely vanished and unfortunately the Batmobile was gone too. Batman on the other hand saw that as a blessing in disguise because the Batmobile had a homing beacon in it. Using the Mystery Machine and blindfolding the gang, Batman and Robin took them to the Batcave and used the tracking equipment there to find the stolen car. It was in Gotham City at the Batman and Robin Exhibit Building. They head there straight away and the combined teams, minus Shaggy and Scooby, looked inside the building for clues. However, Shaggy and Scooby alerted Batman and Robin when the two of them noticed Penguin and Joker sticking their heads out of an upstairs window. With them involved, Batman and Robin handled the rest of the caper themselves by going into the haunted house which became Joker and Penguin's hideout.

Joker tricked the Dynamic Duo into going into a ball pit with no way out for them. Some time passed and the Joker and Penguin disguised as skeletons fell into the same pit. Scooby then told his friends where the Dynamic Duo were and they helped them escape. They questioned Joker and Penguin about the counterfeiting scheme and while the two crooks did distribute the money, they didn't have it printed; it was given to them by an anonymous benefactor. Joker and Penguin were even questioned about Mrs. Baker and the vanishing house, but they knew nothing of it. So Joker and Penguin were arrested by Gotham detectives, who Batman and Robin summoned while they were trapped in that pit.

They returned to the spot where the house was and it miraculously reappeared before them. The combined team again, minus Scooby and Shaggy, went inside to see if they could find any clues. While doing so, Shaggy and Scooby found out how the house had vanished. There was a pulley inside of a fake tree that made the house spin around and hide in the ground. Batman and Robin exited the house and found another lever in a tunnel which did the same thing. The two teams reunited and found the one they were after. Chasing him through a tunnel, they went up a trap door and found themselves in a toy factory. Through various twists, turns, and romps through the factory, Scooby was the one to capture the criminal and much to everyone's shock, the villain was not a man but Mrs. Baker.

Because Scooby was the one to successfully capture Penguin, Joker, and even Mrs. Baker, Batman awarded Scooby with a large pile of bat-snacks much to his delight.[1]

Notes/trivia[]

  • Batman's civilian identity, a millionaire playboy and businessman, known as Bruce Wayne, was not revealed until the Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? episode What a Night for the Dark Knight aired.
  • Blue Falcon, another campy superhero created by Hanna-Barbera in the late 1970s, is largely based on Batman's own campyness.
  • The (exaggerated) bat-prefix on all of Batman's equipment (i.e. batline with bat-hook), is the result of the live-action TV series (starring the late Adam West) of the 1960s. He even applies it to bat-themed food and drinks, and says "bat-patrol".
  • Perhaps because it was deemed too violent for Scooby-Doo, Batman did not use his signature weapon, the batarang. This did, however, appear in the comic-book Scooby-Doo! Team-Up.
  • The color of Batman's cape and cowl is the same color of the DC logo.

Appearances in other media[]

Batman was originally conceived as a comic-book character by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger for DC Comics. He first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), and the success lead to his own self-titled comic in Spring 1940.

In 1968, Batman appeared in his first cartoon, billed with Superman in Filmation's The Batman/Superman Hour, with the former's segments called The Adventures of Batman; a year later, they were separated and it was called Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder. In 1973 (a year after The New Scooby-Doo Movies), Hanna-Barbera produced Super Friends, which co-starred Batman, continuing in various spin-offs until 1985. The cartoons either had Olan Soulé or West as the voice of Batman.
