The Phantom Shroud (World of Supers)

The Phantom Shroud was the shadowy vigilante protector of Newbrooke who dedicated his life to fight crime in his home city following the death of his mother and father during a robbery. Known as the first modern superhero, the Phantom Shroud battled the rising crime in the city during the late 1890s and past the turn of the century, until his retirement in 1911.

Batman is the superhero protector of Gotham City, a tortured, brooding vigilante dressed as a sort of human bat who fights against evil and strikes fear into the hearts of criminals everywhere. In his public identity he is Bruce Wayne, billionaire industrialist and notorious playboy. Although he has no superhuman abilities, he is one of the world's smartest men and greatest fighters. His physical prowess, technical ingenuity, and tactical thinking make him an incredibly dangerous opponent. He is also a founding member of the Justice League.
