Batmare: Birth Of The Dark Knight

Batmare and Robin

It took a very long time, but when both Granny Smith and Twilight gave their approval Spike was free to become the faithful student (he really didn't like the term sidekick) of Batmare.

As for what he wanted to call his new superhero identity, that took a lot of thinking and brainstorming. But Spike eventually settled on the name of "Robin", after observing how graceful and majestically the namesake bird flew through the sky.

And, as any superhero worth his salt will tell you, regardless of whether you're a leader or a sidekick you have to have a suitable costume. One that delivers the message you want to send to your enemies, and one that you can work with. It also helps if the costume is well designed. Spike decided on a dark red vest with black stripes, and a small capital "R" printed onto a badge on said vest. He would have a black cape and matching utility belt, just like Batmare. Rather then cover his whole face Spike simply had a small black mask that would obscure his face and upper nose, one that would make him look like he was glaring down at his opponents. And to top it off, he would have bright white gloves on his hands, and the same pair of black boots that Batmare wore.

Rarity was all too happy to design the costume for Spike, who had to be practically dragged out of Carousel Boutique by Applejack since he wouldn't stop starring at Rarity.

Applejack quickly laid down the ground rules of being a superhero, and made sure to specifiy that it wasn't all about making a big entrance and picking up chicks. Spike proved to be a fast learner, and despite being a bit cocky he quickly adapted to his new life. Before long Batmare was no longer alone, for whenever she went out Robin would be close behind. The two came to be known as "The Dynamic Duo", but they stayed mostly out of the spotlight.

Of course, Robin had no interest in simply playing second fiddle. And with the money he had been saving as Spike, he purchased an experimental motorbike. The intent was to use it to get to places that The Batmobile was too wide to fit through. Sometimes he was heard to boast that his Robin Racer was faster than The Batmobile. Batmare had no interest in proving him wrong.

The Batcave was expanded, and rumors even circulated that Batmare and Robin were planing to one day build a Batsub and a Batcopter for sea and air operations.

Finally, after about two months of being the center of attention, the dynamic duo made one last noticeable contribution to the wide realm of Equestria.

"And so, it is with great pride that I hereby dedicate this offical "Bat Signal', to contact our greatest defenders when we need them most." Mayor Mare said proudly, unveiling a spotlight at Town Hall which had the same Bat Symbol that could be spotted on Batmare's costume. The Bat Signal actually drew inspiration from the time Batmare and Robin had took down a nostorious jewel thief, and had left the crook tied to a spotlight. When the police had found him they were quick to notice how, from the way he was positioned, he matched the Bat Symbol almost down to a T.

"Now, without further ado, here's District Attorney Fancy Pants!" Mayor Mare said "Our special guest who has been invited to test The Bat Signal. Mr. Pants, please do the honors."

"With pleasure." Fancy Pants replied, and flipped the switch. The auidence looked up into the night sky, and saw The Bat Signal shining brightly in the night sky.

From a distance Batmare and Robin watched the public display, and smiled.

"Do you think we did good Batmare?" Robin asked.

"Of course we did Robin." Batmare replied "Glad to have you with me."

And with that, the dynamic duo raced off into the night. Ready to help Equestria if ever the need should arise.

Author's Note:

And so, we now see that Spike is Robin. His design draws inspiration from "Batman Forever" when Dick Grayson is finally given permission to join Batman. His first costume in the movie is more in tone with his usual design, while the second (The one that the inspiration for the design in this fic comes from) is a bit more modern, and not as much of a stick out. No need to worry, Spike is not the useless Silver Age Robin.

Also, I went back and edited the previous chapter a bit. So check that out when you have the chance.

Why didn't I know this fic existed until now?

All is left is for you get Spider-Mare done too. There is another DLC character I think that can fit one of the Mane 6, Rainbow Dash as The Flash. Of course that up to you. I do wait to see how Batmare and Robin will go.

Song for your history, based of the movie "The Batman":

So many things did me wrong, they affected me strongly
I had to be able to endure, from my friends the death
Eliminate fears, in order to understand.
I have grown up alone, but I always had Spike.
This is how I was able to develop my strength and courage.
This symbol is the sign that hope will bring.

Today inside I can feel
the thirst for revenge arise.

I'm Batmare!
In the nights I will watch.
Batmare!
And in every corner I will be.
I'm Applejack's alter ego.

I was able to spend my fortune, doing good to the world.
I will never use it for evil, that would be absurd.
If in my hands I have the power, why shouldn't I take advantage of it?
There will be villains everywhere, but also lovers.
There is a world that is very wrong and it will be challenging.
Canterlot is what will burn if I can't save it.

I know there are riddles I must solve,
I know I will because I am...

Batmare!
In the nights I will watch.
Batmare!
And in every corner I will be.
I'm Applejack's alter ego.

I have very clear, which of all is my path
Truth or lies always depend on a thread.
This is the moment where I have to get out there.
Like a bat in the night to come,
as if destiny still depended on me.
I don't know if I'm doing right or if I'm doing wrong
But I can't change it anymore, that's the truth

I'm the revenge!

I'm Batmare!
In the nights I will watch.
Batmare!
And in every corner I will be.
Batmare!
I have justice to bring.
Batmare!
In the night I will reign.

I am the Princess of the Night. I am revenge!
I AM BATMARE!!!!
