Design Notes: One of the interesting things about this incarnation of Batman is that they make him a natural father/mentor to, not just Robin, but to all the kids. I certainly like a Batman who plays one-on-one with Robin as "a training exercise" more than the massive mistrustful jerk he can be written as sometimes. Anyway, Batman is like Robin, but moreso. I made him "only" an Acrobatic Expert, just because Robin is a better acrobat, and Batman has the Lifetime of Training powers to add to the pool. Nightwing will pick up that powerset during the five year gap. And really, if someone thinks that any of Batman's Expert Specialties should be bumped to Master, I'd nod and accept that.
