"I'm Batman."

[RubberLotus]

Yes, I know that MailedByPostman1 did a thread with an identical title a few weeks back. This is a completely different scenario. I just couldn't think of a better title.

Anyhoo, the Plot Gods dictate that every one of Batman's rogues and allies (who haven't done so already) must try their hand at being Batman for a month. This includes everyone from Superman to Gordon to Ventriloquist.

Even if the character in question is female, everyone is compelled to call them "Batman" while they're in costume.

If they're weaker than Batman, the character in question's physical stats are boosted so that they can, at the very least, take on fifteen well-armed thugs and come out on top without a scratch. The character in question MAY use lethal tactics, but only in pursuit of justice. They cannot do evil during their tenure as Batman.

So, how does each character work out?

Martian Manhunter has a month long break. So does Superman. And Hal Jordan.

Gotham is absolutely fucking spotless.

Except for when any version of the Joker is called in.

There was an episode of either BTAS or STAS where Superman had to go to Gotham and impersonate Batman, because Batman was missing. Robin coached him on scowling, sleuthing and intimidating the town's rogues for clues. Voice impersonation was pretty perfect (though J'onn would be the best at mimicking, one would assume.)

I loved when he was just tossing Bane around and Robin explained it as "he's been working out."

To be fair, it helps that Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent have looked pretty much identical for most of the history of comics.

Yeah, he'd just think of it as one of his "jokes" to commit crimes dressed in the Bat-suit.

"Why? Why, I must ask, should the Sovereign of Olympus wear the skin of his brother Hades? Is not the realm of Heaven fitting for me, so I must be banished to the depths of the Stygian pit? This is a blasphemy! Heed my call, lightning! Strike those infidels, who--".

"Oh, c'mon, Maxie! Don't be such a spoilsport! It's just a funny chance to dress up and go out to have fun, so lighten up! Look, even Pengy is all happy in his ill fitting tighs!".

"Shut up, Joker... Wheeze... This thing barely lets me breathe... How can he endure it night after night? And it chafes, too!".

"Oh, but the sight of your doughy butt in tight black makes it all so worthwile. What about you, Vic? Don't tell me you don't think those long ears look just AWESOME on your helmet!".

"I simply... feel ridiculous...".

"And let's not forget our little Baby-Bats here!"

The Mad Hatter scowled. "Where, may I ask, did you find a child-sized Batsuit?"

Joker grinned. "Oh, a little... project in the 90's. Ask Dixon if you want details."

Hatter crossed his arms and pouted. Joker continued grinning. "Oh, don't worry, Tetch! You'll be a big hit with the kids in that getup! Trust me."

"Tony Stark is Everyone" syndrome?

Some artists know how to make them different, but others don't. McGuiness, for example, doesn't. Side by side, they look like twins under his work.

It's even worst with women or so I hear.
