WIN/LOSS: 2-1 60 point Batman is a neat tertiary attacker who can double as a support piece when needed. The Batarang is great for harassing weakened pieces and since it is a free action, and this Batman is so mobile, it doubles as an extreme running shot (move 8 and then fling the Batarang for 4 more). Way more life than anyone expects for a "half-dial" figure, this Batman is a solid piece in Modern Play. For the cost, though, it's tough to use him over the Shifting Focus masterpiece. I'm not sure about the value in his full dial considering all the other Bruce Wayne options out there...
Visible Dials and Pushing Damage need to be optional. This is the way.
The lack of move & attack and this point value does kind of push him to a support status, but those 5 clicks with Indomitable, Improved Movement, and the free Batarang are definitely worth consideration. A fine package.
Very respectable. I prefer this over the beefier "Vet," as the point difference is enough that the addition of Alfred (btas006) and Robin (ew048) provides more options for the same cost.

I'll concede that using two of this piece is probably better than using one at his full value, but if you're going to conform to Highlander, I prefer the full-point version. Starting with 12 attack and sitting on usually 20 defense makes for a very solid piece. Two of this will get you two free attacks, and if you can position the Enhancement just right in a T pattern, 5 damage on each with 4 Alfred (all for a total of an easy 200 points).
Now as a standalone piece, having had more time to reflect on this, I'd say this might be difficult to hit, but I don't think he's going to do much for your damage. I'd probably rather play the starter figure at 50 for more offensive capability, or as Tyro suggested, work with the Shifting Focus version. Free Batarangs for 1 just aren't impressive, and anyone getting based will probably do fine against a Flurry of 11-2 / 10-3. He can work ok for swarms with that Quake and anti-Mastermind.
