So I've had an idea for a PC that's been cooking in my head for a while, but I can't figure out what's the best way to build him. He's inspired by EricGuzman's "The Amazing Spider Bat", and I thought would be a lot of fun. He'd be a young man being groomed by his evil father as the vanguard for a "League of Shadows" to step in and take over/destroy civilization (yes, I've seen Batman Begins), and I'd also want him to have a certain levity in his personality akin to Spider-Man.
The base class would be Monk (with the Charlatan background to make a sort of "Bruce Wayne" persona), with dips into Rogue (for Sneak Attack, Cunning Action, and at first I was interested in the Assassin's features, but I'm starting to think that the Swashbuckler would better fit the "Spider-Man" flavor), and Warlock mostly for the Eldritch Invocations Devil's Sight and Mask of Many Faces, but going up to Pact of the Blade might be fun for flavor.
Anywho, what do you guys think? Does that work, or should I put my levels elsewhere for this type of character?
