Line 5:
 
== Batman (Bruce Wayne) ==
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' [[Kevin Conroy]]}}
 
Arguably the least-changed character from his comics counterpart, the DCAU [[Batman]] has generally the same origin: his parents were shot dead after the three of them went to see a movie, and he decides to avenge them by becoming the vigilante Batman, complete with Batmobile and a handy utility belt.
Line 23:
** [[Badass Boast]]: "I am vengeance...I am the night...I! AM! BATMAN!"
** [[Badass Normal]]
{{quote| '''[[The Joker]]''': There's nothing '''mere''' about that '''mortal'''.}}
** [[Underestimating Badassery]]: Lex Luthor at the beginning sees Batman as just a nuisance who is of no concern to him compared to Superman. This is until Batman breaks into his penthouse and knocks out Mercy, absolutely scaring the crap out of Luthor, something Superman had NEVER been able to do. At that point, he gives Batman the same level of priority as Superman.
* [[Bruce Wayne Held Hostage]]: Several times.
Line 70:
* [[The Team Normal]]: The only member of the League who doesn't have any super-powers (not counting Green Lantern being a normal man without his ring).
* [[Troubled but Cute]]
{{quote| '''Diana:''' No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time. }}
* [[Temporary Blindness]]: In the episode "Blind As A Bat."
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: With Wonder Woman. [[Batman Beyond|Sorry, shippers]].
Line 80:
 
=== Robin I/Nightwing (Dick Grayson) ===
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' Loren Lester}}
 
Much like his comic counterpart, Dick was a member of ''The Flying Graysons'', a family of circus acrobats. His parents were killed by a mobster named Tony Zucco ([[Grease|not]] [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Zuko]]). After being taken in by Bruce Wayne, he eventually finds out his secret and takes up the role of [[Robin]]. Eventually, he grows up and strikes out on his own, taking a new name: [[Nightwing]].
Line 105:
=== Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) ===
 
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' Melissa Gilbert in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]'', [[Mary Kay Bergman]] in ''[[Batman and Mister Freeze Sub Zero|Sub-Zero]]'', [[Tara Strong]] in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|The New Batman Adventures]]'', Stockard Channing on ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' seasons 1 and 2, Angie Harmon in ''[[Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker|Return of the Joker]]'' and ''BB'' Season 3'''}}
 
The daughter of Police Commissioner Gordon, Barbara first takes up the Bat cowl in an attempt to impersonate Batman, giving the impression of his support at a rally for her father. When she gets involved in a drive-by shooting that hits the rally, she is partially unmasked by Robin when he rips the back of her cowl, freeing her hair and leaving the city wondering "Who is Batgirl?"
Line 121:
 
=== Robin II (Tim Drake) ===
{{quote| '''Voiced by:''' Matthew Valencia, Dean Stockwell [older]}}
 
This Tim Drake is a combination of both the comic version and Jason Todd, the Robin before him. The son of a two-bit crook who betrayed and was murdered by Two-Face, Robin falls into Batman's world while fleeing Two-Face's thugs who are chasing him over something left by his father. Like Grayson, Tim finds out Batman's identity, steals the Robin costume, and ultimately helps bring Two-Face down.

* [[Ascended Extra]]: In the comics, she becomes one of the central characters of both ''[[Gotham Central]]'' and ''[[Fifty Two]]''. And, of course, in ''[[Fifty Two]]'' she [[Took a Level In Badass|becomes]] [[The Question]]...

=== Mojo (Lloyd Ventrix) ===
{{quote| '''Voiced By:''' Michael Gross}}
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: Compared to other villains, who are much more cunning and resourceful, he's pretty much a thug with an invisibility suit. That doesn't stop him from giving Batman a pretty bad beating.
