Hey, I was thinking about Batman the other day & I came up with a basic premise for a TTRPG campaign(or oneshot depending). Here's the overview of it:
In Gotham City, something mysterious has happened & Bruce Wayne is missing without explanation! To make matters worse for the Gotham City Police Department, Batman has also disappeared. However, not all is lost, since a new group of bat-themed vigilantes have appeared in the absence of Batman. But questions still remain: Where are Batman & Bruce Wayne, What will become of Batman's legacy, and Who will these new bat-themed vigilantes prove themselves to be?
I hope this sparks the creativity of some DM, GM, or Otherwise to fill in the blanks in the tale. Additionally, my hope is that a fun campaign(or oneshot) happen using inspiration from what I've provided.
If someone does create a story inspired by this premise, please let me know about how it went, what was added, and what was changed to make it better for the group in question!
Personally, I translated the idea more as Batman's been split into different people who embody one of his traits, with all of them feeling compelled to fight crime clad like a bat. And for the duration of the campaign(or oneshot), this is the status quo until the end of the campaign(or oneshot) when the Batmen(my term for the Batman trait people) are reunited as Batman once more

That's somehow-ish the setup for Gotham Knights.
Except that Bruce Wayne/Batman hasn't dissapeared but died.
Cool
