D&D General Batman class

"What is your superpower?"

Batman: "I'm rich."

Super rich is by far the best superpower.

CF Green Arrow, Iron Man, etc.

But generally, Batman has a huge array of skills and so could fit into a lot of different classes depending on which pasts you want to emphasize. Paladin (vengeance) works well if you want to emphasize his obsessive drive and determination. For maximum reference take the unarmed fighting style (although "Batman with greatsword" is a pretty cool look and probably what I'd actually go for..)

Seriously

Batman would be a Ranger with a special variant rule that converts spells to magic items.

Monk and rogue multiclass.

Somewhat amusing to specify the Christian Bale version. I mean I get it, but. I feel like we can do better for this format!

 

[Hriston]

Multiclass capitalist/employer, lol

But seriously, I think Paladin (Knight)/Rogue (Detective) would be fitting.

I am going to go with two A5e Classes- the Savant and the Adept.

Savant | Level Up

Adept | Level Up

The Savant is a genius who relies on ingenuity, planning and keen deductions. The Adept otoh is basically anyone who hones their control over their body and mind, much like the monk.

There's alot of ways to take this.

I'd suggest Thief Rogue is one of the closest single class fits. Easy time deploying Gadgets, Climbing, Jumping. Assuming you are allowed to be rich and afford lots of gadgets (d&d magical items) then this should work great. Sneak attack works well for a guy that likes to get the jump on bad guys and attack from the shadows.

It's not a perfect replica as you use light weapons instead of your fists.

Another take would be arcane trickster where your spells essentially replicate what some of the gadgets are doing.

Possibly add in a few levels of monk or fighter.

i mean if we're going a5e, artificer/adept with the vigilante chain is RIGHT there...

 

[Not a Decepticon]

The class that is overpowered and can solo the game and has 25 in all attributes, probably
