My inspiration here is a combination of what we've seen from the most recent film, which is itself a combination of The Dark Knight Returns and the Animated Series. Not afraid to kill and openly admitting he is a criminal, my interpretation of Batman here is obviously CN. Tactics are hiding, then ambushing an enemy with Mad Rush triggering Frightening Appearance and delivering a full round of Avenging fists. I find Power Attack a bit unnecessary, but I would probably pick it up later if I ran out of feats.

You can't contain both Paladins AND Batman in ONE place. You might as well try sticking two Rovagugs in the same vault. :-)

Just Batman.
We're civilized adults, clearly we're more organized by that.

I have a batman-like NPC in my game. He's a Brawler/Investigator Gestalt, using the brawler side for his combat abilities (martial flexibility is great for the "I know Martial arts." "Which ones?" "All of them."). His investigator side is used to solve crimes with his alchemy and super high skill checks, along with studied combat boosting his combat even higher. He is terrifyingly effective.
He has a Halfling rogue as a sidekick.

Minor note but you cant put Brawling on a Mithral Medium armor. It is still a medium armor.
There was a thread about it somewhere and the conclusion was that it's medium/light when convenient.
Otherwise I'd switch it no problem.
You mean an Armored Kilt? interesting notion but why not just go with a brawling chain shirt?you can’t enhance a mithral breastplate with special abilities that require it to be light armor, like brawlingAdamantine kikko with a skirt then.
I'll need a bit to redo the maths.
At one point I had a actual reason, I don't know what it was now.

I was mistaken, I thought kikko was light.
An Adamantine chain shirt with Brawling would be ideal, with an armored kilt added after. I'm unsure as to whether or not Brawling continues to function when adding the kilt however.
