i thought about a new character inspired by batman

now i am torn between scrapper and stalker and not sure what primary and secondary to take?
scrap: ma or kat and wp or invul or reg
stalker: ma or kat or ninjablade and wp or ninjitsu or reg

i am really clueless

I would say Batman is either MA/SR or MA/WP.

sry forgot to mention that i ment the new batman movies for powers and choices

MA/SR was the default Batman from early beta on. Its almost as cliche as a Invul/SS/PM tankers with fly as superman.

Willpower, Super Reflexes and Ninjitsu are all good choices for Batman clones, conceptually. The "wonderful toys" type of character with gadgets is more Ninjitsu, but you don't have to rely on them, you could just be a martial artist that relies on quickness and stealth. I will say that IMHO a true Batman clone has to have Stealth from the Power Pool, if he's a Scrapper. That's just too much a part of his MO.

Katana or Ninja Blade will fit with just the ninja/martial artist concept. Personally, if you like that idea, I would go with it, it will make your character different from Batman and not just a copy of him. Martial Arts is a pretty good set, though, my Bat-clone is MA/SR. (With Stealth and Intimidate)

I wouldn't go with either Inv or Regen as to my mind those are too much "super" powers. Maybe an armored Batman, or one that is half vampire could be Inv and Regen respectively.

MA/Nin sounds very Batman-esque. Def Softcap potential, a self heal, and some little gadgets and tools? That sounds 100% Batman to me. For a primary I'd say Martial Arts, Dark Melee or Claws for a primary.

MA for Bat's hand to hand combat. Ninja for Defence, and a few extra toys he uses. (smoke bombs, powders, and the like) Stalker for the inherend Hide, as we all know, he's a master of sneaking up on people. Fitness. Fighting for toughness/weave. I'd use an all natural approuch, so no travel powers, maybe combatjumping, and ninja run for travel.

A Vigulantie, (i know i'm misspelling that...) because he'd fight the good fight, he just wouldn't be very nice about it.

And that'd be my Batman.

Oh, and if we'er woking on PURE concept, take Intemadate.

I have to agree w/ MA/Nin Stalker. I have a knockoff on Triumph that kicks so much **** its not funny. Ive solo'd almost every arc villain side up through lvl 14. Very fun toon. If you go this route, take this advice, take the fly pool (air Sup and Fly for travel) instead of speed or jumping. You will need the extra attack early on, and there is nothing better than Fly while hidden. I would take swift (to help w/ fly speed) and even hurdle later if you wanted to. Would also try and fit in Combat Jumping (immob protection) and maybe work on the fighting pool for tough (wont need weave w/ all that defense) just in case something gets though ur defense.
Im planning on going Soul Patron for shadow meld, but YMMV. Enjoy!

I'm just going to stress that MA for stalkers is Severely sub par overall. Go for it if you want, but I did suggest Claws and Dark Melee for a reason: They're just plain better than MA for stalkers right now.

My Batman esque character is MA/WP.

I actually made a Batman inspired toon out of an AR/Trap Corruptor. Yes, he uses guns, fire, poisons and explosions, but it still worked for me.

I've found that Claws/Ninjitsu makes a better Batman Stalker than MA. Just customize the claws to the short, spikey ones, and give your alt black gloves to cover them up for the most part. It looks like your alt is punching bad (good) guys rather than using MA's kicks. I did this with my Scrapper (Claws/SR) and it works great.

My Batman inspired toon, Dark Hareman, is an electric^3 blaster.

He's got the rabbit ears and a mustache, but otherwise standard Dark Knight. Monsterous gloves with Tech Banded, the only part of his costume that's not black, it's dark gold. He's got the Ninja run and stealth, soon to have Celerity +Stealth [if any will come on the market].

Why electricity? He has to have gadgets. "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" And ice, fire, etc, don't cut it.

I would do a catwoman, but not only is there no powerset that matches, it would only be the one billionth cat girl out there.

Claws/Nin is the best new Batman build for the one in the Dark knight and Batman Begins, it has already been discussed. You have to go Natural and pretend that the knives you throw are baterrangs. However, this was discussed before the animation changes to MA.

I understand ur stand point, I respectfully disagree. Small wall fo text forthcoming.
One could make the argument that this new Batman character (Bale) is changing ATs and powersets as he progresses in the story. Just off the top of my head Kat/WP, MA/Nin, MA/WP, MA/DA (new armor maybe). I definately think this current incarnation is more of a Rogueish Villain turning into the Epic Hero, especially given the ending to Dark Knight.
Its hard to argue the scrapper MA/XX Scraper as being most fitting thematically for most of the comic book and to some extent the TV/Movie versions of Batman. I believe the essence of Batman is not stand toe-to-toe with his foes and scrap it out though. Bats is a calculated predator (more similar to the Arkham Asylum Batman). He surprise attacks (assassin strikes) someone from out of the shadows and melds back into darkness unless all hell breaks loose, then he rolls his sleaves up and goes to town. Not his preferable method of battle, but something he can excell in.
In the end, its to each his own. But if trying to lock him into a specific CoX AT, Stalker seems to fit him better. But to each his own.
I'd love to take my Stalker vs ur Scraper PvP and see how is better. MUHAHAHA

Batman can "plan" to be any AT he wants.

Batman AT arguments are an old flamewar. He's been argued as everything from MA/SR to DM/Nin. Honestly, it's up to you.
