Though regarded by many Gothamites as an "urban legend" built on superstition and fear of the city's darkened streets, Steve McNary knows all too well that the Batman is a cold, hard reality of his own fabrication. McNary has spent his life in pursuit of physical and mental perfection in order to wage unrelenting war on evil. And it is this obsession that drives the Dark Knight, for McNary has vowed that no innocent should suffer pain.  Although he really has no superpowers of his own, Batman is the world’s greatest detective and has one of the sharpest analytical minds on earth.
