I have No Man's Land Month 2 coming up this weekend and was looking for help and advice filling out the rest of my team.
Copy-Paste of the Format 600 Point Golden Age
DC Only
No characters with the Superman Ally Team Ability
No Colossal
No Infinity Gauntlet
Must Have at least once character with the Batman Ally team ability
(Ok now with this one, DC only means all Feats and BFC and Objects, everything is DC only)
Since I haven't used my Caped Crusader yet, I want to use him for this event. I have 5 bats (2, 2, 1) to go with him also. Have the Utility Belt with Suit of Sorrows, 2 Sonic Transmitters and 1 Gas Pellets, with possibility of borrowing another transmitter and pellets to get the 5 item bonus. And last event I used the belt in went by the card, so no Flurry to keep in mind.
So what I have thought of for the team:
139 - BM 053b Caped Crusader w/Grey attached
12 - Utility Belt 5 items
26 - Flock of Bats (Black) x 2
30 - Flock of Bats (Brown) x 2
42 - BM 031 Alfred
50 - FF 001 Oracle
299 Total
Crusader preps to Outwit click after oracle lets him move. Alfred and Oracle are there for Perplexes and Oracle's free move. So looking at what I have chosen, looks to need an Outwit or two, and another attacker, maybe a taxi?
Some thoughts I had towards filling out the team.
Big Barda - Alpha Strike Transport Crusader and benefits from Oracle's free move also. Plus I'm pretty sure at least 2 others will be there, and Barda is a good threat to Barda. Roy Raymond Jr. - Since I know there will be at least 1 BA TA, possibility of more, so shutting them all down could be handy? DC 10 Oracle - Gives greater range/variety of support for more points and losing the free moves Nightwing and Batgirl - Another piece I have wanted to use since I got them. Not sure on the map for NML so not sure if their free smoke cloud will come into play Steph Brown Batgirl w/ Armor Piercing - Really enjoy her EE+Incap ability and she gives another perplex Batmobile - Taxi and with Alfred piloting strudy perplex and situational Outwit.
My collection is limited, only coming from Batman and SoG. Almost full set of Batman with no Chases that can be used in this format. Batmobile, Batwing, Invisible Jet, and 1 CopCycle for vehicles.
Also my first experience with Feats so no idea which, if any would be useful or what to expect from others.
Thanks for reading and hope to get some helpful advice and assistance filling out my team since I really want the Batgirl.
I would probably drop FF Oracle for DC10 Oracle, add in Big Barda, the Feat In Contact With Oracle on Big Barda and Caped Crusader, and... Justice League Silver Agex2 8pts.
BFC's: Infiltration, Overconfidence, and Poor Teamwork.
You should probably let your Judge Know that the Card is incorrect, the Dial is Correct.
Cheers.

jtallday- Jon I wouldn't challenge you if I wasn't sure you are wrong cuz I don't have that kind of energy.
Kind of kooky, but I JUST played Caped Crusader last week against a friend at 600 points. My team was:
30 SOG001B GCPD Officer
55 SOG015B The Question
139 BM053B The Caped Crusader
45 DKR018 Rachel Dawes
68 DKR021 Lt. Gordon
65 DKR203 Catwoman
176 BM100 Nightwing and Batgirl
2 SOGS101 Bat Signal
15 BM099B Flock of Bats (Brown)
595
I also had the 99A Flock of Bats attached at the start for free. this was a VERY mobile team and very difficult for my opponent to pin down.
Lt. Gordon got everyone into position, then Bats can detach and move at will, Caped Crusader swaps places, and the GCPD Officer is just there to man the Bat Signal.
Nightwing and Batgirl Duo were very formidable on their own as secondary attackers. Rachel Dawes and Catwoman were great perplexers, and ensured that Caped Crusader never missed an attack. Also Catwoman did some damage herself as a secondary attacker. She was pretty much pinned down in hindering on account of placing her in order to have LoF to my team, but Leap/Climb kept her moving when she needed to be.
All in all this was a GREAT team and super fun. Not sure if I can say it was uber competitive, but my opponent had a fun time as well watching me work.

@jonidschultz - I was under the impression that In Contact With Oracle only worked on the Legacy Oracle.
What I think I've decided on trying, might change mind before Sunday though:
Caped Crusader w/ Grey Flock attached- 139
Utility Belt 5 Items - 12
Fortitude - 25
Justice League (Silver Age) - 4
Big Barda - 148
Fortitude - 25
Justice League (Silver Age) - 4
DC 10 Oracle - 73
Justice League (Silver Age) - 4
Alfred - 42 Roy Raymond Jr. - 74 Flock of Bats (Brown) x 2 - 30 Flock of Bats (Black) - 13
Comes to 593 total. I've got two attackers, a perplex and an outwit, with another that can do perplex, outwit, or prob. Justice League ATAs help ensure hits and Fortitudes are to prolong lives/maximize damage. Also get an Outsiders with Roy. Roy plus Fortitude on Caped is my only concern/iffy spot. I'm sure the points could be better spent, but not sure on what.
Depends what you mean by "Works with." I was NOT suggesting you put Oracle on the ICWO card. That does require the Legacy Oracle. I was simply suggesting you use it for it's Stat Boosts. If i was suggesting Oracle on the Card I would note that.
Not a bad team. I feel like Caped Crusader doesn't usually need Fortitude though, but that's just me.

If you drop the ATA's, one of the bats (brown IMHO) and the fortitude on caped, you can add your invisible jet to carry everyone around. Also with its amazingly long dial, its a great piece to base your opponents figures.

After reading the feat again I see where my misunderstanding with it was, so yea will probably drop black flock to play in contact on caped and barda.
Ended up going 2-1 because of a poor judgement call, but still got my Batgirl so I'm happy.
Round 1 played against AA Superman Prime, FF Sinestro, and 25 pt Batgirl. Everything worked out, Crusader and Barda hit what they needed to and avoided being hit. Side note, Superman Primes defense power- INVINCIBLE: Damage Dealt to Superman Prime is reduced to 1. Can I Outwit that? Me and opponent weren't sure but judge said yes wanted to make sure Roy Raymond and the Fortitude on Crusader didn't do anything special.
Win
Round 2 played against The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, SOG Katana, SOG Deathstroke, and Omega Batman. Great Belt turns kept landing me on +stat clicks when it really mattered. Again Roy Raymond proved not too useful since could never outwit BA Team Ability because of Stealth and Omega. Fortitude on Crusader helped but not sure if crucial/game breaking.
Win
Round 3 played against 001 Batman, DC 10 Oracle, JL FF Flash, JL FF Cyborg, and JL FF Superman. Herein lies my bad judgement call. Mistake 1 - He brought Superman to me, and for some reason I decide to Boom Tube to Batman (carrying Crusader) to try to get rid of the Stealth for Outwits, instead of just killing Superman. Mistake 2 - after Barda's smack with HO and a perplex and Batman was still alive, didn't free swap Crusader out of there. A few bad Super Senses and Imperv rolls later my force was crippled and later killed.
Loss
Overall I feel the team did a lot of what it wanted to do. In Contact with Oracle was definitely great help, so thanks jonidschultz. But the Fortitude on Crusader and Roy Raymond would have been better served by secondary attacker with some support options. There was another Caped Crusader team there that I wanted to play against just for the chess games with Flocks, but pairings didn't match up
