Tips and Strategies for Batman in MultiVersus

Batman has a fantastic kit at his disposal that allows him to control the battlefield and move around fairly freely. His Batarang, Bat-Bombs, and Smoke Bomb are all great supporting tools. These let Batman control the space while also harassing the opposing team.

Batman’s main killing moves are Rising Bat and Rapid Rising Bat, so you will want to get your opponents in the air. Using the Batarang to force them to jump is a great way to set up these knockouts. The Bat-Grapple provides Batman with a quick way to move around the stage and also approach enemies.
