Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
The Cyborg Batman
As part of its diabolical effort to take over the city and eventually the world, the artificial intelligence known as H.A.R.D.A.C. had created robotic duplicates of Gotham City luminaries. This included a duplicate of Bruce Wayne.
And yet H.A.R.D.A.C. was destroyed by Batman before the Wayne duplicate could be dispatched. The android remained safe within a stasis chamber that managed to stay intact when H.A.R.D.A.C. exploded. Several months later, the android came online and emerged from the wreckage.
Without a connection to H.A.R.D.A.C. the duplicate had no primary instruction. As such it believed itself to be the real Bruce Wayne and acted accordingly. This began with it donning the guise of Batman so to fight crime.
Following an encounter with the real Batman, the android was forced to contend with the terrible realization that it was a synthetic being, that its memories were fabricated and it was not the true Bruce Wayne.
Distraught, the android sought out the wreckage of H.A.R.D.A.C. and salvaged its core central processor. It installed the processor in itself and planned to use The Bat-Computer to gain control over the world's computers and defense systems.
The real Batman tried to stop the android. With its superior robotic strength, the android was easily able to defeat The Dark Knight and it threw Batman into a crevasse in the Bat Cave.
The android believed it had killed Batman, that it had taken a life. A belief in sanctity of life was a critical aspect to Bruce Wayne’s psychological persona, an element that was passed on and replicated in the android duplicate. It caused the android to suffer a kind of existential crisis; it could not cope with having betrayed its core principle.
The android decided that it could not allow H.A.R.D.A.C. to take over and kill humanity. As such it smashed its fists into the Bat-Computer, creating a massive explosion that destroyed not the computer, H.A.R.D.A.C. and the android itself.
The true Batman had not perished in the fall and managed to climb back up. He found the wreckage of his robotic duplicate and deduced what had occurred. Batman concluded that, although made of silicon, the being surely must have possessed a soul after all.
Kevin Conroy provided the voice for Cyborg Batman, appearing in the forty-third episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘His Silicon Soul.’
There’s a Cyborg Superman (is he still retconned to be Zor-El?) so this a Cyborg Batman?
