Gotham. A city once filled with evil and corruption. A city where the rich had all the power and the poor were killed for being what they were. A city where the police were bought by the powerful and a city which had been left to rot by the American government. Some people truely saw Gotham city as nothing more then Hell on Earth.
However one man took it upon himself and fought alone against the evil and corruption that had infected the city he loved. As a promise to his parents, Bruce Wayne became Batman, the Dark Knight and a symbol for Justice everywhere. Over the next 25 years Batman faced many enemies and helped Gotham once again regain its status as a bustling Metropolis once again. In the end he managed to put away all his enemies, Two Face, Penguin, Poison Ivy and Riddler. But there was oce left which had to be dealt with before Gotham could be truely classed as safe.
One night the Joker, clown prince of crime and archenemy of Batman, kidnapped an innocent family and used them as hostages so that he could challenge the Batman to a final fight to the death on the grounds of Wayne Manor. After arriving the Joker killed the family right in front of Batman and the resulting battle ended with the Joker falling to the same fate. In the end the Joker fell off of the cliff at the rear of Wayne Manor and he fell to a watery grave. It was finally over, Gotham was finally safe from the supervillains that threatened it's streets day in and day out. With the last of his enemies gone Bruce could finally hang up the Batman costume and relax, but his promise was not yet fulfilled.
Bruce realised that although Gotham was safe it would never remain that way. The city had an odd way of bringing out the evil in some people and that sometime in the future the city would once again fall into the darkness that he had just brought it out of. Realising this threat Bruce turned to the next generation of crimefighters, knowing that he wouldn't be around forever. Over the next 10 years he, along with **** Grayson, Tim Drake and Cassandra Cain, trained many orphans to help battle the evil which would sure enough resurface in the future. Bruce trained these orphans in the same arts that he had learned and the same skills he had developed through his years as Batman. The ability to use the shadows as an ally, the detective skills he developed, the martial arts he knew and most importantly the belief to never give up the fight.
After 10 long and testing years Bruce finished his training. Each student had proven themselves to be worthy of defending Gotham. With his burden finally lifted off of his shoulders Bruce mysteriously disappeared along with ****, Tim and Cassandra to live the life he never had the chance to live when he was young, when he was Batman. He left the city of Gotham in his student’s young hands, to once again become a great and prosperous city.
However as he predicted, it didn't stay that long.
As the moon rose after the first night of Bruce's leaving the evil that the city held once again seeped onto the streets, the air echoing the signs of explosions and sirens. It was as if the evil was waiting for Bruce to leave before it resurfaced, but it would soon find a new advisary in the students Bruce left to become the new guardians of the city.
They are the New Knights of Gotham.

Name: Shade Matthews
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Manchester, England
Appearance: Shade is about five foot ten inches tall. He is built like any average male of his age and is as healthy aswell. He has short-mid length scruffy black hair. His eyes are a peircing dark brown which can almost see into another persons soul.
Personality: Shade is an extremly determined character. He will do anything within the law to catch those responsible for the crime and is always trying to protect his freinds at the same time.
Bio: Shade was originally born in Manchester, England. His family lived there like any normal family. His mother was a school teacher and his father was an engineer. However when Shade was only 2 his family moved to Gotham after Shade's father was offered a job at Wayne Industries in Gotham. Beleiving Gotham to be a prosperous and peaceful city once again they immedietly left England and bought a house in Gotham.
How Shade's life would change because of that decision, he will never know.
As Shade grew up he excelled at school and managed to adapt to life in Gotham, settling in perfectly. As he grew up he heard tales of a legendary "Dark Knight" roaming the rooftops of Gotham some years ago and keeping the justice and peace. Shade was fascinated by this mysterious hero and always dreamt of meeting him, hoping that he could fight crime himself.
How he would rue the day that happened.
One terrible night during a storm the family were sitting for dinner when they receieved the biggest shock to their lives. In an instance the window shattered and the family found themselves at the mercy of the one and only Joker. Grabbing Shade's mother and father he took off in a rapor of laughter and took them to where he demanded his nemesis battle him to the death. Shade followed, hoping to help his family out anyway he could. They eventually made their way to Wayne Manor, the battleground for the final battle. It was here that Shade first saw the dark knight, Batman, but it would also be the last time he would see his parents. As Batman arrived the Joker, with the usual sadistic smile on his face, pushed the family off of the cliff and began to battle the Batman. Shade watched in horror as this happened, but managed to contain his anger so that he could watch Batman defeat the Joker and watch him fall off the very same cliff.
As the Joker fell to his death, Bruce noticed Shade and realised what had happened. Looking into Shades eyes he saw a determination for justice and he also realised that history was once again repeating itself, just like he himself had watched his parents die so many years ago. Bruce took Shade in, just like he had **** Grayson, Jason Todd and Tim Drake and along with many other orphans trained him in the same arts that Bruce had learned himself, believing that he would continue the fight.
As the students trained day in and day out in the Batcave many of the students truely beleived that Shade would one day take on the mantle of Batman, seeing in him the same skills that Bruce possesed. However Shade never beleived that he could live up to the name of Batman, beleiving that Batman should remain a symbol of justice, which nobody should take upon themselves.
After ten long years of hard work, grueling pain and sacrifice the students found themselves at the end of their training. However that night they would find themselves left alone by Bruce as he, **** and Tim dissapeared without a trace and left the students to defend Gotham themselves.
That night they watched from the mansion as the city once again fell into darkness and cried out for hero's to once again defend the innocent from the power hungry maniac's that thirst on the city. In the Batcave Shade stood forward, taking charge of the group and vowing to protect the city from all evil that would infest inside of it.
