So I recently saw a thread about Sherlock Holmes and got to thinking what other characters would be cool for a pathfinder campaign. Who better than the Dark Knight?!
So I feel he would be similar in some veins to the Holmes character but not sure how he should differ other than the lack of drug use, I feel he should have levels Wizard for the versatility of Spells, Investigative Rogue for all the skill points and knowledge of anatomy for Sneak Attack, Fighter or Paladin for Heavy Armor proficiency (probably Paladin for divine spells), and Detective Bard for the knowledge skills, and at least improved unarmed strike for fighting.
But I feel this requires too many levels to be efficient, so any ideas?
Several with LOTS AND LOTS of thoughts on the matter.
Batman is an alchemist ;)
dude it has been something i have been working on. I was thinking a druid who only uses a bat form. With some levels in alchemist just to have the tech thing under wraps.
alchemists have beast shape on their extract list if you want to be a Bat no need to dip into druid ;), alchemists can even get proper Ex wings as a discovery
I am playing him now.
3 Paladin/2 Fighter (Unbreakable)/10 Shadow Dancer
You are combative, stealth, tough, and a bit skilled. Your shadow dance ability makes for great mobility; with the shadow illusion and evocations make for great replacements for the utility belt.

That's pretty good. Not sure about the LG part, but otherwise cool.
He'd be Chaotic Good.I assume you've seen the all-Batman alignment grid? :D

How would you stat Batman in Pathfinder? (if you bothered)HA!
He'd be a human rogue. He'd be 20th level. He'd be Chaotic Good. He'd have PC gear. He'd have the highest legal point buy. And then I'd put the advanced template on him.
Other topics here and I suggest Gestalt
I would figure he would be a Ninja with a ton of UMD.
monk-rogue, for the old adam west batman. Holy maloney!
The Red Raven of Galt is pretty much Golarion's Batman.
-World's greatest detective - L20 Rogue (Investigator)
-One of the world's best hand-to-hand combatants/martial artists - somewhere between L16-19 Monk (Martial Artist) (with Karate Kid from the Legion being a L20 martial artist).
-Brilliant inventor and scientist - I've seen the case made for alchemist or wizard, but I would say for Pathfinder, he is a L20 Ranger (Trapper/Urban) with the the Master Craftsman and Craft Wondrous Items feats. This gives him the versatility of having as many of the ranger traps as possible, which he can pull out of his utility belt, as well as some custom wondrous items he could make.

I am play-testing a Shadowdancer archetype (Shadow Knight) with that build, which makes it even better for the idea.
This is a version of Bat's that I did: Batman

All That is missing is Mock Armor from Ultimate Equipment.
