Thought it was time for a clearer version of the updated design for The Dark Knight Shinobi that I presented in The Batclan 3. nightshade475.deviantart.com/a…

Left to right:
Batman (with A-Komouriyasha Onimen), Batman, and Komori Watanabe (Secret Identity).

As previously stated, the original design for the Manga version of Batman came from the mind of fellow Deviantartist, Effektdmentality aka R.J. Sosongco. effektdmentality.deviantart.co… The only thing that I had initially changed from his version was tucking his samurai hakama pants into ninja style boots. I wanted to ad my own touches to the design and drawing from the story that I was working on at the time, I had him take elements of his apprentices wardrobe attempts at emulating the Shadow of The Bat; Robin’s cloak, Nightwing’s samurai armor, and Batgirl’s utility belt. Incorporating a more personal connection to his students and at the same time making him more resemble the mainstream version, without losing the elements that I admired so much. I also felt it was time to add in to the design the iconic bat inspired mask, and crafted a storyline where it would be suitable:

After having been separated from the Demon Bat, A-Komouriyasha, following the events of the Knight’sFall, Batman retained some of the essence of the demon within him. He discovered this during his time in the future (Knight’sQuest), where he had been sent by the Ghost Arts Shinobi master, The Spectre. Upon his return to his era, he discovered his clan in disarray as they all vied for the position of leadership. He had also discovered a powerful kunoichi who had tried to take over the clan in Batwoman (Kyashii Satokibi), the new host of A-Komouriyasha. She saved the life of the demon bat by allowing it to reside within her while it healed. Once the demon Bat regains its strength, it begins to take over Kyashii's body. After the emergence of the Kamen no Shikai (Society of Falsefied Faces), The Batclan deduce that by constructing an Onimen; demon mask for her, she'll be able to control the demon raging inside her. They go about figuring out the means of how to contsruct one, and acquiring the materials and manpower to do it. Zatanna (and/ or Zatarra) will be one of the people involved in this mission. Information form Kyashii's clan, having knowledge of lost arts, helped complete the construction of the demon mask; which helped her from being taken over by the powerful spirit within her as Batman had, and focus its tremendous power. When confronting the Onimen empowered Kamen no Shikai, Batman realized that the Batclan needed some assistance to defeat the cult. He reached out to Batwoman, who helped him in the craft of forging his own Onimen linked to the Demon Bat, allowing him to tap into the residual energy inside of him while he wore it. Using it sparingly, he now has a new powerful weapon in the war to protect the prefecture of Goth-Ahm, and anywhere else it is needed.

- to the far right I have the different concepts I had in mind for coloring his new gauntlets.
- The abilities that the mask gives Batman are similar to those shown in the animated short: Batman of Shanghai.
- If he wears the mask for too long of a period, the demonic energy starts to overtake him.
- His strength and speed is increased, but not to a ridiculous degree.
- I was inspired by Naruto Anbu masks and the old Adam West version.
- Similar to the members of The Houndclan, who have enhanced abilities due to the blood of Yaimanu, The Demon Dog flowing through them; I have Batman’s hair white when he is tapping into the power of the demon beast. nightshade475.deviantart.com/a…
