Is Batman a vigilante?
first, you would need a base of operations, or as described in
comics, a "Bat-cave". you would have to make this hidden, yet easy
to get to, stock it up on the latest radar, tracking and computer
software to date, and have a simple export to the city. that leads
us to gear. where would batman be without a belt full of just about
anything he could ever possibly need? you would need 3 types of
transportation[NOTE: batman himself has more than this, but 3 is
all you really need.]. land-based, water-based, and air-based. also
a very important piece of equipment is the suit/armor/costume.
Normally, when confronted with terms of protection against harm, i
would send you after 3 basic components; Kevlar(guns) Nomex(fire)
and a stab plate(you do the math there). but, all this together is
kinda heavy, and since batman needs to be quick, its a downer. plus
i wouldn't go after it if your on a
budget(kevlar:$2000/nomex:$1000/stab plate:$500 at least)BUT BUT
BUT the military is working on a new component, not only selling it
to street cops, but to the public around $200 a gallon. that's
right "GALLON" its a liquid armor, known as 'polyethylene glycol'
and not only meets the requirements for the suit, but also flexible
and, it being based on latex, is near invisible to radar and
thermal caste. they are also building artificial spider silk, which
is 5x stronger than steel. but unless time is on your side, it wont
be finished for another 7 years. oh, your heading towards P.E.G., i
see?good boy. batarangs are simple, grapnel guns are in
development, and the rest is easy as 1 2 3. also some physical and
mental work involved. Bruce Wayne spent quite a bit of time
learning several forms of martial arts. the average joe looking to
spend his nights beating goons to a pulp in spandex and saying to
everybody "I'm the god dang batman", wont have 5+ years to get to
his muscles peak. so, what's the solution? Keysi fighting method!
its the special fighting style of around 7 others rolled into one,
and fairly easy too. now, the mental part of the spectrum. this is
harder. while Bruce Wayne can beat the living crap out of somebody
to get what he wants to know, sometimes he needs to resort to other
ways sometimes. he is a flipping genius, for cripes sake! if i were
you, id look into criminology, forensics, chemistry, technology,
applied sciences, formating, and advanced digital media. remember
that doing this will be on your own risk. i am not responsible for
harm done unto you or the people around you if you should take this
on. so there you have it, folks, how to be the batman, the caped
crusader, the dark knight, the world's greatest detective, Gotham's
white knight. now just one question remains; what about
robin?:P
