D.A.V.E.

History
Created by Hugo Strange, Digitally Advanced Villain Emulator or "D.A.V.E.", is an AI that has the brainwaves of several Batman villains, thus allowing it to guess correctly most of Batman's moves, and can imitate other villains', such as the initial acrobatic feats the Joker was capable of accomplishing or Catwoman's agile gymnastic routines, or the Penguin's mastery of martial arts, making him a tough opponent to battle hand-to-hand. Its robotic body is light, resilient and flexible enough to take on Batman on far more than equal terms. D.A.V.E. is as intelligent as the Riddler and Hugo Strange, giving it the psychological advantage; it can hack into any computer and control every machine it encounters. This frankenstein was allowed to unleash itself upon Gotham by Strange programming it to "escape" from Arkham, and allowed it to lure and study The Batman. Though he had set the ultimate trap for Batman in the Batcave- having deduced Batman's identity via an elaborate process of elimination, D.A.V.E. set up a trap which would either expose Batman's identity or kill Alfred-, D.A.V.E. hadn't planned on Batman using reverse logic on D.A.V.E. He was defeated when Batman questions D.A.V.E's own origins as D.A.V.E doesn't have an actual origin, even being unaware that he is a computer program. Although D.A.V.E. knew of the origins of others, he didn't know the origin of himself--or even that he wasn't even human. After Batman told him this, it bought him enough time to crush D.A.V.E. under the giant penny.
