Invisible Predator: Batman starts battles with 2 BARS of POWER.

Batman/Arkham Origins is one of the first and most enduring powerhouses in Injustice Mobile, with still decent base stats and a timelessly powerful passive. With the ability to fire off specials at the start of a match unaided, he can quickly make the battle lopsided, three fighters to two.

Batman/Arkham Knight is often considered to be an upgrade to Arkham Origins Batman, as he has higher base stats and a passive that can immediately grant him 2 bars of power unaffected by the 2-bar starting power cap and another enviable buff in addition to this. He is much harder to obtain, however. Batman/Arkham Origins can also be relied upon in Online Battle defense to actually have power, as there is no way to choose which buffs the AI will select for Batman/Arkham Knight.

Batman and his infamous 2 bars of starting power!

Passive

Usually considered as the strongest store character, Batman has a very dangerous passive that allows him to knock out one opponent at start of the match thanks to his powerful SP2, quickly outnumbering the enemy team. Due to a plethora of counters against Batman's passive, it's recommended to start him in either the 2nd or 3rd slot. From here, he can either gain his third bar or be tagged in just after the start of the match and fire off his SP2. However, he should be the starting character if equipped with 2/3 LexCorp Set, so Mother Box will give him extra power.

His starting power is capped at two bars, and won't be affected by Batgirl/Prime's passive and Ra's al Ghul's Scimitar.

Gear

Since he only has a once-per-match passive, it's best to either give him a Special attack nuke build with the Tantu Totem or equip him with damage boosting gear and gear that grants critical chance to basic attacks. The first strategy will allow him to sustain his power as he decimates multiple opponents with his SP2. The second will make the most of his screen time and will complement his already decent damage stat. Furthermore, the set up goes well with his heavy combo which can be chained together multiple times.

The 2/3 LexCorp Set (LexCorp Chest Armor V2 and LexCorp Helmet V2) is a viable build for him. His SP2 can inflict DOT and heal with life drain. The crit chance for basic attacks can be utilized with the crit damage boost and his smooth heavy combo, extending his usage after using all of his starting power. However, the most beneficial effect is the power drain reverse, which helps him overcome his power drain weakness, especially from Raven/Rebirth and Mother Box that otherwise could make his passive completely useless. The third gear slot should be for power generation or SP2 boost gears such as Heart of Darkness or Tantu Totem, especially the latter can help him destroy the enemy team with its power refund.

His SP1 can apply DOT from The Ibistick, LexCorp Helmet V2, League of Assassins Adept Blade and gear shatter from Claw of Horus 2 times, making them good gears for him, especially The Ibistick as it also boost his power generation and his powerful SP2, allowing him to nuke with SP2 if needed.

Militarized Batmobile is a viable gear for him, as he can easily reach his Super Move thanks to his passive and gears or characters that provide power such as Tantu Totem and Wonder Woman/New 52.

Batman Ninja Helmet synergizes well with him. Being a Batman character, he is able to make use of all of its effects, and since he starts out at 2 bars of power, he will start matches with increased damage reduction and crit chance. When teamed with an evolved, dark passive maxed Shazam/New 52 and given a full damage reduction build (Batman Ninja Helmet, Killer Croc Companion Card EVOLVED, and Gingold Soda), he can quickly reach the power threshold needed to become immune to basic damage and special damage.

Interactions

Please note that battles are highly situational: this section only mentions cards that have mechanics that, for any reason, are particularly effective with/against, or particularly ineffective against Batman. Having a card that "counters" Batman does not mean it is always a good choice.

Good With

• Arkham characters.
  • Harley Quinn/Arkham: Gives a 50% block breaking chance on every hit of Winged Avenger, further enhancing the potential of Batman's explosive first blow in battle. Indeed, with sufficient upgrades, this will often instantly knock out a first character unless steps are taken specifically to counter this.
  • Bane/Arkham Origins: When Bane gets below 50% Health, Batman can get an extra bar of power for another Winged Avenger or The Dark Knight (with Militarized Batmobile).
  • Batgirl/Arkham Knight: Not only do her own specials have a chance to break block, but she can auto tag in and save Batman from the brink of defeat allowing him to have time to potentially build up his SP2 again when he would have otherwise been KO'd.
• Harley Quinn/Animated: Her damage boost complements his already decent damage and if Batman is in the 2nd or third slot, the faster power gen she grants to teammates will allow Batman to gain his third bar faster, meaning he can tag-in and fire off his super. This mixes very well with the Militarized Batmobile.
• Wonder Woman/New 52: Her special attacks allows Batman to also gain power, getting to SP2 much faster.
• Shazam/New 52: He will provide increased damage reduction and basic attack damage to Batman, as discussed further in the gear section.

Good Against

• Killer Frost/Prime, Killer Frost/Regime: Killer Frost's (and to a lesser extent, the Regime version's) power dampening has no effect against Arkham Origins Batman's passive, allowing him to do a devastating first blow before she could drag it out too long to turn the battle to her favor. Additionally, The Batmobile gear already encourages Batman to go full aggressive and rely on an early super move for damage and not on heals, lowering Regime Killer Frost's passive's effectiveness.
• The Joker/Insurgency, The Joker/The Killing Joke: Since Batman is only one bar away from his Supermove, equipping him with the Militarized Batmobile will allow him to tag in and unleash a boosted Supermove. This has a high chance of KO'ing either Joker. The invulnerability provided by the Batmobile will help Batman avoid the health loss from The Joker/Insurgency's passive and shrug off a special or Supermove by one of The Joker/The Killing Joke's teammates.
• Solomon Grundy/Boss: Even in the unlikely event that Batman lowers his health to near 0 with his instant powerful Special 2, Grundy's damage would only be increased to 2x, as Grundy's damage increase must be done with the number of hits he receives, not only the health percentage he is at.

Countered By

• Characters and gears that can drain power.
  • Raven/Rebirth: Upon tag-in, Raven can siphon Batman's two bars of power and simultaneously activate her own SP2.
  • Mother Box : Aside from the ability of this gear to possibly evade Batman's "Winged Avenger", the ability to drain all power at the start of the match is an excellent way to counter his starting power.
  • Black Adam/Kahndaq: His passive allows him to power drain Batman's power, but only if he's quick enough to do so.
  • Batgirl/Prime: She grants her team one bar of power at the beginning of the match, which is very useful for countering Winged Avenger with any character that has a power drain on SP1, such as Lex Luthor, Nightwing, and Sinestro/Antimatter.
• Characters and gears that can reflect special damage, especially SP2.
  • Black Adam/Regime: Black Adam's shield can reflect immense amounts of damage back at Batman, severely crippling his health.
  • Aquaman/Flashpoint: He or his Flashpoint teammates can tag-in at start of the match to counter Batman's special.
  • Scorpion/Klassic: Tag him in at start of the match will help counter Batman's specials and inflict burn DOT back to him.
  • Scarecrow's Ventilator Mask: It guaranteed special damage reflect on block can reduce and inflict damage back to Batman.
• Batgirl/Cassandra Cain: Upon tag in, Cassandra damages and knocks back her opponent, unaffected by block; tagging her in at the beginning of the battle and blocking immediately will almost guarantee that he will use Explosive Batarangs instead of Winged Avenger, greatly reducing his threat, especially when he is teamed with Arkham Harley.
• Doomsday/Containment: Doomsday can withstand 3 blows that would have killed him, and Winged Avenger does not have enough hits to fully destroy Doomsday.
• Superman/Injustice 2, Batman/Dawn of Justice, Reverse Flash, Wally West/Rebirth, and Riddler's Staff: All have a chance to completely avoid/negate the damage from Batman's infamous Winged Avenger.
• Martian Manhunter/Blackest Night: He starts the match with the defense buff, reducing damage taken from all attacks including Batman's powerful SP2 from his starting 2 bars of power.
• Solomon Grundy/Regime, Solomon Grundy/Prime, Hawkgirl/Blackest Night: Being essentially less powerful versions of Containment Doomsday, their resurrection abilities allow them a chance to survive Winged Avenger.
• Astro-Harness: The brief invulnerability given will prevent Winged Avenger from knocking out a character.
• Green Lantern/Red Son, and Batman/Beyond: They are immune to stun on his SP1. Furthermore, Green Lantern reduce special damage by 20% and can share the damage reduction and Stun immunity to his Red Son teammate, thereby lowering Batman damage output.

Abilities

Here are Batman's abilities.

Ability	Classification	Description	Usage
Explosive Batarang	First Special	Batman uses twin batarangs to strike his opponent down. CHANCE TO STUN.	Target
Winged Avenger	Second Special	Batman launches flying knee attacks at his opponent.	Quick Tap
The Dark Knight	Super Move	Batman uses everything at his disposal to decimate his opponent. UNBLOCKABLE.	Tap

There is currently a bug in which AI characters can interrupt his Explosive Batarangs with a special of their own, effectively dodging your attack.

Winged Avenger causes his target to bounce; if used on characters with a large model size (e.g. Doomsday, Solomon Grundy), it is possible to follow up with a heavy combo immediately afterward on the helpless opponent. It can be chained from his heavy combo, but extreme timing is required.

Trivia

• Arkham Origins Batman has the highest damage out of all cards that are always available at the beginning of the game. He's also the most expensive "ready-to-buy" card in the Store and used to be the most expensive card in the game at one point.
  • His price is also unusually high; for example, Batman/Beyond Animated has the same total base stats, but only costs 67.2% as much.
• His combo ender is similar to the last hit of Batman/Insurgency's light combo.
• He used to be able to start the match with 3 bars of power if paired with Batgirl/Prime. He was then nerfed probably due to the Militarized Batmobile.
• He is based on his appearance in the Batman: Arkham Origins game. In addition, his passive is likely named after the Invisible Predator Online game mode in that game.

Batman activating his Super Move.

• The final boss of battle 49, the last match before Bonus Battle 7, is a version of Arkham Origins Batman with 70,200 Damage and 251,500 Health. Despite this, he is capable of inflicting over 135,000 damage with his special 1 version of Lunge Kick, which would require a Damage stat of over 200,000, when a 70,200 Damage stat only results in a maximum of 46,332 damage.
• If the player doesn't tap at all on the mini-game during his Special 2, he will only perform a headbutt as opposed to adding flying knee kicks for a full 3-hit "Winged Avenger".
• If Batman does not have "Winged Avenger" unlocked, he will only start with one bar of power, and will not be able to use "Explosive Batarang" twice instead.
• His Special 2 "Winged Avenger" shares the same animation with the Combo ender of Batman/Flashpoint.
