Batman

Yes, Batman is on this Wiki. And yes, the only image of him we can use is the Adam West version.

Batman wears a winged suit which he can use to cover himself, and he talks in a low, whispering voice. Apparently, he is best known for saying "I'm Batman."

Notes

• We cannot canonically support any notion that Batman might have something to do with Superman or the Joker. To suggest such a link would be irresponsible of us.

• The design of Optimus Primal's bat form is an homage to Batman, whose action figure license was also held at the time by Kenner. His designer chose the black color scheme to repaint him into Onyx Primal, enhancing the mold's inherent resemblance to Batman.

• The color scheme and double life of Shattered Glass Ratbat is based on Batman. His secret identity color scheme, likewise, is based on Bruce Wayne's brown and mustard outfit from Batman: The Animated Series.

• Animated Searchlight's personality is based on Batman, specifically Frank Miller's extreme grim-n-gritty take on the character.

• Sam Witwicky remarks that shining a spotlight of a truck on a cloud would be an impractical method for contacting Optimus Prime in the Dark of the Moon novel, a reference to Batman's famous Bat-Signal.

• Many Transformers voice actors have portrayed the Dark Knight over the years: Daran Norris voiced Batman in the toy-pack-in DC Super Friends DVD, Frank Welker and Corey Burton voiced different versions of The Dark Knight in the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases", Lex Lang voiced the Dick Grayson Batman in Brave and the Bold's "The Knights of Tomorrow" episode, Jeff Bennett was his singing voice in Mayhem of the Music Meister, Michael Bell voiced Batman in a Guest appearance in Tiny Toons Adventures, Kirk Thornton voiced Batman in the Superman motion comic Red Son, Michael Dobson voiced him in the motion comic Batman: Black and White, Steve Blum spoke in grunts as Batman in Lego Batman: the video game, Tesshō Genda has been the Japanese voice of Batman since the '90s, and both Welker and Scott McNeil even voiced his pet dog, Ace the Bat-Hound in Batman Beyond and Krypto the Superdog. Wow!

• Wally Wingert is a big fan of the '60s show. In fact, Wally even made a single called Adam West.
