Really? When we're all his pets, animals in a carefully constructed cage? He may feed and shelter everyone, but the only freedom we have is to be exactly what he wants to be. To do exactly as he wants us to do. The only answer to this world of perfect order is chaos. We have to blow the whole system apart, which is why this museum is going to explode in ten minutes. Did I say ten minutes? I meant ten seconds.

~ Batman
Batman is the secondary antagonist of Superman: Red Son and its animated movie adaptation.
He's an alternate reality of the eponymous superhero who became a ruthless anarchist after his parents were gunned down by Stalin's police force. Adopting the "Batman" alias, he vowed revenge on Pyotr Roslov and 20 years later, became the most wanted man in the Soviet Union. That version of Batman was a drastic departure from the usual Batman; whereas Batman is typically heroic (albeit brooding), this version is a ruthless terrorist who has no qualms against murdering people.
In the motion comic, he was voiced by Kirk Thornton, who currently voices Shadow the Hedgehog. In the movie adaptation, he was voiced by Roger Craig Smith, who also voiced a younger, heroic Batman in Batman: Arkham Origins as well as the Batman Unlimited Series.
The son of a pair of dissidents, the boy who would become Batman saw his parents gunned down by Stalin's police force, and vowed revenge against Pyotr Roslov, the captain of the police. Twenty years later, Batman became the most wanted man in the Soviet Union and was a constant thorn in the side of Russian authorities. He managed to personally execute a number of acts of terror against Superman's regime and skillfully evaded capture from Roslov's police force each time. Batman became a legend to the people to rival Superman himself, and it was said that he was impossible to kill, the ghost of a thousand murdered dissidents who returned to wreak havoc on Superman's collectivist utopia.
Despite his personal vendetta, however, Roslov managed to convince Batman to help him eliminate Superman, and argued that with Superman out of the way, Batman's quest to kill Roslov would be more easily accomplished. Batman agreed, and kidnapped Wonder Woman and bound her with her own lasso in order to draw Superman into a wasteland, where he then bombarded the hero with simulated red sunlight. He then forced the weakened Superman into a cellar and intended to lock him away forever. Unfortunately for Batman, Wonder Woman managed to break her lasso and destroyed the generator that powered the lamps.
After he refused to be locked up and lobotomized, Batman then committed suicide by detonating a bomb that he implanted within his small intestine. Before he died, Batman revealed to Superman the truth of Roslov's treachery. Ultimately, though he failed to kill Superman personally and topple his regime, Batman died knowing that his true goal, avenging the deaths of his parents, was successful. Following that revelation, Roslov was apprehended and turned into a Superman robot.

Did you? You and Comrade Stalin may have different methods, but you're variations on the same tiresome theme.

And there you will stay for the remainder of your wretched life, while my followers rise up and finally take our country back.
