Everyone knows the Bats aren’t human, or even anything similar. The Bat is the one least seen, a monster in the shadows that doesn’t move like a person. It tries to, imitates them as well as it can but it’s limbs aren’t right. And all the bats of the cities answer it’s Beck and call, whisper in it’s ears. Where else would it learn all that it knows? It isn’t long after that the Robin’s appear, no one knows how many of them there are. And know one knows where they come from, only that they dress in bright colors and dance across the roof tops and through fights. Sometimes they speak and sometimes all they do is sing. Birdsong the only symbol of their arrival. And everyone knows the birds are their messages, save penguins. But robins are the special ones. The Batgirl is said to be a nightmare, the Batman’s to be exact a creature created by his mind, and something only he will ever be able to comprehend. She knows all and sees all and they say it is what she was born of, secrets and lies. She whispers them to you in a fight her voice a steady drone of everything and anything you wanted kept in the closet.
Black Bat came from the same abyss the Bat itself must have crawled through, everyone knows it doesn’t have eyes or a mouth. But it’s ears hear all, and it has never been defeated. So far as everyone knows it’s never even been hit. Unlike the Robin’s though everyone knows they’re already dead. (Why would they be called Robin after all? If they weren’t Robin red-breast with that tangy scent of blood to herald their arrival) When whispers spread of the Spoiler no one knows what to think, Batgirl ally one who laughs amidst the bats. A void in a purple cloak. No ones seen her face, they don’t think she has one. No she steals the faces of those she fights and uses them in day light only for them to wear out by night.
Nightwing is a wraith in the night all blue and black and void like eyes and sharp toothed smiles. He purrs like a cat a slow wolf like smile and a rolling step that let’s everyone see the danger they’re in. No one has ever figured out where the Nightwing came from but everyone knows he’s one of the bats spread to Bludhaven. The Red Hood come later. The first to bother with killing though only shortly. They say the hood, the mask is supposed to be white but drips with both his blood and the blood of his enemies. Not victims oh no, the Red Hood is after all still a bat. They say he uses guns but no one’s ever seen them, just heard the crack and saw a man fall followed by laughter. The mark on his chest marks him as what the is though it always seems red and raw, an open bleadinv gash. The Red Hood may seem human in form and movements but everyone knows he isn’t. He is after all one of the bats. The Red Robin they say sprang from the blood of the Red Hood mixed with the blood of his siblings, everyone knows after all that the Nightwing and Red Hood are brothers (as much as they can be considered make much less human, there are many that claim the is simply the form they chose to take) the Red Robin is smaller, thinner but always dripping in red. Wings cloaking him and shadow and his voice a steady murmur of thousands of others just as his father’s is. The Bat after all is most definitely the father of these children, these monstrous forms that stalk the night. But the Red Robin knows far more than he should just as Batgirl does, his voice following you through the fight. Telling you of all there is to know about you, all there is that he should punish you for.
The Batwoman is a wraith, the vengeance that is born of the Bats mercy. It must go somewhere, and so it takes it’s own form. Red and black, vengeance that stalks the night. Her hands burn, a reminder of her rage held back through chains barely strong enough to halt her. The Bat cares for all it’s creations but this one he cannot contain nor control and she burns. And she is followed by her own follower a vicious bringing figure, they call her Flamebird and she burns even brighter than her creator. After all Batwoman follows in the Bats foot steps, and every criminal fears what she will bring to bear.
The Signal is the newest, and everyone knows what created it. They had whispered of the signal that called the bat. And now it has created another creature, only this one does not contain itself to the night. They say it appears only in the light of day, returning to it’s position at night to fill the sky. They say the signal has no face but many voices. It’s eyes black as the night it was born from but it moves unseen through the day only to strike a sudden flashing form so visible and yet so hidden all at once.
