He’s here.
Arkham Aslyum
Batman… no… that’s not quite right… The Grim Knight is already behind you all, glaring down at the criminals & you. Without wasted efforts & with just ONE movement, he KILLS all of them without breaking a sweat… a man is shot through the head ** (BANG.) (dead)**, he burns a man mercilessly alive 🔥 (dead), a guy tries to run but he broke his neck with his boot (..dead)… he then threw a knife straight through a man’s head without looking (dead) as he now turns and looks at you… seriously. You seem to fear the Bat… this Bat. As you should. Are those guns?! But Batman doesn’t use… guns—
Grim Knight (Alt. Batman from the Dark Multiverse):
”He does now.”
(He’s already analyzed you. He knows what you’ll do before you do.)
He could kill you in over 1000 different ways etc. This Bruce knows just as many martial arts as Batman (Earth-0) and can use them more effectively. He’s already calculated over 5000 ways this could go (no… MORE). He’s memorized every human joint, every deadly way to kill you (armed or bare handed), every angle of attack, and every countermeasure to every weapon ever built. If you outsmart him, out-plan him, dodge & counterattack him, speed-blitz, psychoanalyze him, outweapon him, out-prep him (impossible), use a technique or attack he’s never seen before, out-skill him, analyze every part of him, have innumerable contingencies/backups/tricks against him… he’s accounted for everything that could go wrong from 1-∞. He’s always prepared. The deadliest man alive. Cause he’s the goddamn Batman… no.. the goddamn Grim Knight.🦇🔫.
Grim Knight:
“Time to die.”
(Yup.)
[NARRATOR: Intelligence: At least Extraordinary Genius, potentially Supergenius. He is just as smart as his Earth-0 counterpart. Tactical Analysis. Computer Hacking: Bruce is a master hacker, usually gaining complete technological control of a city as soon as he gets there. He can even hack planes, making them fall from the sky. Martial Arts. Weaponry. Expert Marksman. Batman can throw knives with peak accuracy. The Grim Knight carries a variety of firearms, ordinance, & close-quarters weapons on his person. Amongst his extensive arsenal are rifles, semi-automatic pistols, grenade launchers, rocket launchers, carbines, grenades, swords, combat knives, & throwing knives. Bruce used his family's company, Wayne Enterprises, to monitor Gotham City using a satellite & booby trap every piece of technology & lethal equip within the city limits (which he calls "colonizing") to turn Gotham itself into a weapon only he can wield: becoming a deadly version of Batman who is at total war with his enemies. Unlike other versions of the Dark Knight, this Batman never had a rogues gallery since he would kill his enemies after the first encounter, with several notable victims include the Penguin, Black Mask, & Killer Croc. He even killed the Red Hood before the incident that would have created the Joker.]
The Grim Knight is a contingency with no off-switch—a living weapon forged from trauma, intellect, & the pull of a trigger. Beneath the cowl is Bruce Wayne, a man who turned grief into a loaded gun & Gotham into his kill zone. Able to outshoot, outthink, out-gun & KILL anyone who crosses his path. Mastered every martial art & firearm known to man—knows exactly how to kill you. His mind operates like a deadly tactical supercomputer—analyzing, predicting, kill. Has weaponized an entire city: every screen, every vehicle, every piece of tech is his arsenal. No rogues gallery because he killed them. He has no Bat-fam because he doesn’t need help (plus he killed Red Hood). He needed a way to kill evil. A weapon that would make him Gotham's own angel of death. Fuck Batman’s no kill rule. If you’re a predator, corrupt, even jaywalk or ANYTHING remotely bad, if he finds you, you die.
(Before you can react, BANG, a bullet through your skull, a massive brain hemorrhage… bleeding out. He moves to kill—not wound.)
An execution.
