Summary

Michael Lane, also known as Azrael, was a policeman turned into a mentally unstable criminal after a failed experiment to make him the "ultimate crime fighter". Eventually, he encountered and was stopped by Batman. Realizing all the bad he has done, he went to a church to confess his sins, however he was instead recruited and brainwashed by a secret organization named as the Order of St. Dumas. He was given a mystical armor and sword and was tasked to spy on Batman and train to be as skilled as him. While seeking Batman's approval to become his successor, his true task was to kill him and take his place as Gotham City's protector.

Stamina: Unknown

Range: Standard Melee Range, higher with various gadgets and weapons

Standard Equipment:

  • Suit of Sorrows: An armor capable of amplifying the user's physical traits. It also allows the user to glide and project fire from its claws. The latter was only available in the first version of the suit.
  • Sword of Sin: A sword that emits a glowing light. Whoever stroke with it is stated to have their soul burned if they're deemed impure.
  • Batarang: Thrown at thugs to stun or knock them over.
  • Batclaw: Used to disarm thugs or pull foes closer. Can be used to pull down vents or weak walls.
  • Grapple Hook/Gun: Used to grapple to vantage points and ledges.
  • Remote Electrical Charge Gun: Used to shock foes or activate items such as doors.
  • Freeze Blast: Causes the target to be frozen in ice and unable to move.
  • Disruptor: Used to override guns, medic packs, gun crates and detonate mines.
  • Smoke Pellet: Used to escape from armed henchmen when under fire or to distract enemies and beat them up.

Intelligence: Not only Azrael has police training under his belt, he's able to reproduce all of Batman's techniques he has learned over the years by simply watching The Dark Knight in action while avoiding detection all together

Weaknesses: Mentally unstable. Believes himself to be a "tool of God" and he's completely blinded by his faith. Prone to extreme violence and doesn't see the point of letting criminals live. The Order of St. Dumas rewired his memories so he wouldn't acknowledge his purpose until something triggers him to act upon his true mission.
