| ~ Batman in response to Superman's claims that he gave the survivors of the gulags paradise. |
Batman is a survivor of Josef Stalin's secret gulag who grows up to become a ruthless anarchist with a grudge against Superman, blaming him for the deaths of his parents and acting as a major antagonist of the film Superman: Red Son.
He is voiced by Roger Craig Smith, who also voiced a younger, heroic Batman in Batman: Arkham Origins as well as the Batman Unlimited series.
His Evil Ranking[]
