I thought about batman as a Dark/Nin but the puffy black clouds just ruin the effect for me, also in many of the movies he uses a lot of kicking. MA's AS is also a hand strike. I think of it is grabbing someone from the shadows and twisting the neck.
I like Nin for Bats as the caltrops etc, make for some of the toys.
On the villian side, all my villians I play as vigilante heros. Taking on corrupt police, I will always avoid FC fights if I can, and avoid the bank robberies too. Almost every villian group you go up against in CoV is a villian group themselves. When I do have to battle hero groups, it is justified as being a corrupt offshoot. Taking out the bad apples as it were.
I am really looking forward to going rogue, so my vigilantes can sometimes work on the side of the law.
As a last thought, wouldn't it be cool if you could set CoH to always be set to night time, so you do all your prowling patrolling at night? Would really work for the RP crowd I think.
hello thread, how are you doing?

Why would anyone give SUPER Reflexes to Robin or Batman? They don't have any super powers, they're agile but they can't bullet-time dodge stuff. Gee, what kind of defense set would a natural themed character with no superpowers have... Maybe... Willpower?

You must not remember the time before Willpower when Super Reflexes was the go-to for Natural themes.
And Robin's a former acrobat and even more of a mobile martial artist than Batman, I think SR fits very well. Maybe Willpower does too though, Teen Titans Robin was pretty damn hot blooded.

Before WP I would have given Batman Invuln due to the body armor and Robin, yeah I'd go with Super Reflexes.

Nah, Batman's body armour isn't Iron Man levels (most of the time anyway). Willpower has a combination of resistance, defense and regen (I think), I think that can best represent the variety of ways that Batman keeps himself alive.
I think Ninjutsu works better for at least some incarnations though, especially modern ones. Batman is basically an actual ninja who uses specialised methods and wears an especially elaborate black outfit.
