It has a dash of Black Panther(mask) and Mr. Sinister (cape). The costume looks like it would be good for someone with more psychic/ranged attacks and the metal hands are for close hand to hand.

I mean seriously, look at the size of that boy's noggin -- the inflatable beach floatie (as John so aptly describes it) tied to his leg is bigger than his entire melon! Sweet Moses smell the roses, but I hate that outfit. I feel bad that the costume shrunk his head.

Just what *is* a substitute Dark Knight to do without a ridiculous thigh-band-pouch-thing? I'd love to see someone try to run with that inflatable beach floatie tied to their leg. What a joke.

Furthermore, this guy was all about strength and force not the agility or grace that the real Batman had, which would explain his version of the costume and also why in the end Bruce had to fight him for the title of Batman again.

I skipped that whole deal, good to know what the heck was going on. I still hate the outfit, but at least it wasn't the real Batman. Cool, thanks Rob.

It wasn't Bruce. It was Jean-Paul Valley: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azrael_%28comics%29 I agree that the costume got away from the core of Batman, but to the creators' credit, that was kind of the point. After Batman's back was broken, Jean-Paul took over the costume and gradually changed it, becoming more and more the kind of 90s-style hero you saw in Image Comics. When Bruce returned as Batman, it was kind of a step back to the classic character, maybe demonstrating that the classic approach is better. Hey, Jeff. It wasn’t Bruce.

Or is that actually Bruce? I couldn’t tell from the issue I had, is that one of the substitute Batmen who filled in for Bruce Wayne when he broke his back or whatever? Or is that actually Bruce?
