As you may know, Lewis plays as nightwing. I have created this thread to explain our stance on the bat. He has been confirmed to exist in the arrow universe, or at least his company. If you read the rules you know that's good enough for me, but i just want it clear that his history is not exactly as the comics or anything else in our version. Until we get any other info, this is the version we're using.
Right now batman is just a legend, just as he was in his early comics. The only members that exist in the 'Bat Family' are Nightwing and Batman. He started being a vigilante 2 years before Oliver was shipwrecked, but was not very open about it and no one but the police really noticed. He has become more active in recent years, mostly because of The Arrow taking the initiative. Dick held the name Robin for only 2 years before going off on his own to become nightwing. If you want to play batman he will need to be done extremely well to fit in with the arrow verse and you must be open to forced history edits as we get more info.
