THE STORY SO FAR...
Five years ago, the world was introduced to the dawn of a new superhuman age. It began with reports of a man who could defy gravity in Metropolis, then quickly escalated with the subsequent arrival of superpowered champions and costumed vigilantes across the world that would take part in reshaping modern society as we knew it. In Gotham, a self-styled creature of the night waged war against the forces of corruption that had kept the city bound. On the far side of the world, a woman wielded the power of the Gods in her boundless pursuit of truth. In Coast City, a disgraced pilot would be granted access to power beyond the cosmos. And within the twin cities of Coast and Central, a red and gold streak of movement was beginning to stop criminals in their tracks, virtually unseen to the naked eye. With countless others seemingly brought into the limelight every day, humanity quickly took notice.
Soon, these legends took on names befitting their mythical prescence. Superman. Batman. Wonder Woman. The Flash. Martian Manhunter. The Atom. Though little was known about each of them, they were soon becoming legends in their own right. Many noted that they were the successors to the throne left void by The Justice Society so many years ago, when superhumans first walked the Earth. So it was only natural, perhaps even destiny, that in the face of certain danger that threatened the planet from another world, these superhumans would ultimately band together to form something greater dedicated towards the protection of all mankind. With the combined effort of their incredible gifts fighting back the alien Star'ro, it became official. The Justice League was born.
And with the creation of that team, everything seemed to go wrong at once. Attracting attention from all possible sources, many began to live in fear of these larger-than-life individuals. A fear that was only bolstered by an attack on the team through an insane woman with the power to control dreams, who called herself Dr. Destiny, The Justice League soon found themselves the victim of manipulation as they were controlled into attacking the world at large. Superman began tearing a small nation apart. Batman seized control of Arkham Asylum with the intent to destroy it and all inside. Wonder Woman pressed on the attack on the United States military. The Flash began robbing banks at the blink of an eye. It was chaos, and the world was quickly turning against their heroes. Only with the help of Martian Manhunter and a new ally, The Green Lantern, were they able to be brought back to their normal selves.
But the damage was done, and one man sought to reap the benefits. That man's name was Lex Luthor, who had already put a contenigency plan against The League into action. Fronting a team of maniacal supervillains in secret, Luthor allowed a warlord named Vandal Savage to form what would become The Legion of Doom. And once unleashed, The Legion's wrath was all but forgiving. Successfully destroying half of a nation and threatening to bring others with it, The Legion publically waged war with The League while Luthor plotted with another agenda in mind. Having formed The Society, a peacekeeping group that Luthor claimed was for the betterment of mankind, he began systematically earning the public's trust to a degree that even the heroes couldn't match.
But the final piece of Luthor's plan came together whenever The Legion finally uncovered The Justice League's base of operations and launched a full-scale attack. With Savage gloating over the heroes, who struggled to fight back against his superpowered accomplices, Superman and the others began to wonder if this was their final stand. With Batman having been incapacitated months earlier and left to inaction, they were a man down, and even their newest recruits were unable to stand a chance against Savage's forces. Then came the shocking blow, as Savage was killed before he could cripple The League permanently. But even more shocking was the hand of the person that had brought The Legion of Doom to ruin: Lex Luthor.
Having saved The Justice League from annihilation and stopped a worldwide threat all at once, Luthor was finally put into a position suitable enough to launch the next phase of his plan. Announcing that he had created a safe haven against the threats that had nearly torn the planet apart, Luthor unveiled a city in the clouds that was more technologically advanced than anything the world had ever seen. Calling it Lexor City, Luthor graciously welcomed safe passage into his miracle haven to the public and smiled as they accepted. He had even given them protection with a Superman of their own - the mysterious Karen Starr, otherwise known as Power Girl.
It is now one year later, and the ripple-effects of these events are likely still felt. Is the world a safer place, now that Lex Luthor is the self-appointed guardian of mankind? Have The Justice League recovered under the vicious blow to their image? And what unseen threats still loom over the horizon, waiting to strike when least expected? They say that time will tell, but one year later, the results have yet to be seen...

CS: Character you wish to portray: Bruce Wayne
.Hero, villain, or walking the line?: Hero
.Powers and physical attributes:Peak of human physical condition More powers derived from a high-tech battle suit (all including: cloaking device, magnetic boots, rocket jets, scarlet retractable bat wings, and digital audio recorder) Skilled martial artist
.Origin and backstory (as you see it): It's the same as the regular except his parents were killed in a robbery gone wrong instead of in an alley.
.The burning question - Why this character?: Because it's batman.
.How will this version of your character differ from others? How will it be Ultimate?: He has a cooler suit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(Terry_McGinnis))

.Provide a short sample post as your desired character:Trying not to linger on my doubts, I turn my back to the group and begin stepping towards the exit of the warehouse. It should take ten minutes, at most, for The Batmobile in flight mode to travel it's way from Gotham to Metropolis on automatic pilot in order to pick me up. But in the meantime, perhaps I should make myself scarce. There's alot that I have to consider, and I'd prefer to do it alone.

| Batman sits at his desk, thinking of a plan to upgrade his tech, when Alfred appears. Alfred hand shim his coffee. Then he thinks of his next upgrade. He starts tinkering with his suit when he hears the jokers holding the Commissioner Gordon hostage. He gets in the Bat mobile, and drives to the Joker Fun House. |

Brainiac says, "Come, Koko." Koko quickly runs over. "Ah, Koko. Would you sit there while I explain my thoughts to you?" Koko nods. "I revived you because, well, I'm afraid since you were gone... I haven't been able to capture Metropolis once more."
(Koko is a surprisingly smart space-monkey who wasn't ever mentioned after the 80's I think, and we'll just presume he was dead. |

I arrive at the entrance to see that it's not just the Joker in there. The Riddler, Bane, and Mister freeze are in there as well. He can't take them all down alone. Takes out a device and says "Calling all Teen Titan members to Joker's Fun House. (BTW I lead the TT like in Young Justice.)
