History

A professional theif by trade, Anton Knight first comes to Gotham to confront Natasha Knight who is using the same "nom du crime" as himself. Entering into a partnership with his sister who was also engaging in a romantic relation with Bruce Wayne, Knight adopts the Batman identity as part of a plan to discredit Wayne's alter-ego. But the plan fails after Anton is spotted in the light as he refused to have shaved off his obvious goatee. Knight flees Gotham leaving his sister Natasha to her manipulation of Wayne as she has discovered Wayne is Batman.

Though Anton has reassumed his Batman costume afterwards, he mostly prefers to remain in a full enclosed blackbody suit that covers his goatee and any other identifying marks while he continues his illegal actions.
