Merge I think that the film, television and video game incarnations are unnecessary because Batman (franchise) exists, but I suggest that we merge the list of other people to take the mantle of Batman and the list of more notable variants of Bruce Wayne into the main Batman article.

Speedy delete via G4 (previous discussion here). There's a reason that deletion review is the correct procedure to restore a deleted version of a page, rather than copy-and-pasting the deleted text into a new article — it now looks like GeniusReading2310 is the original contributor of 99% of the article, when this is not the case and none of the original editors have been attributed. According to WP:RUD: If an article is deleted, its history is removed and thus its content cannot be reused on Wikipedia—even under the same article title—unless attribution is otherwise provided (or the page undeleted).
