alright, I'll write some simple descriptions of the character so people know what to animate if they don't know batman.
EDIT:
This was on the first post but it took up way to much room some I'm moving it to here.
It has come to my attention that not everyone knows batman, which I honestly find disturbing, having grown up watching batman cartoons. So heres a simple description of the main characters:
Batman:
Bruce Wayne witnessed his wealthy parents murder [which was a mugging gone wrong] when he was very young. He vowed revenge on crime in general. He was raised by Alfred, his parents butler. Bruce controls a multi million dollar business and has virtually unlimited resources. Using those resources he created Batman, based upon his childhood fear of bats. A superhero who has no powers other than martial arts training and cool gadgets. He mainly uses fear to fight crime.
Weapons/Powers:
Batarangs [ninja stars shaped like bats]
Gloves have 3 blades sticking out of the sides, used for blocking and cutting.
Smoke Pellets
Freeze Pellets
"hookshot" which he uses to swing around or escape with.
Batmobile
A "Batmech" used mainly for fighting Bane [more on bane later]
He has practically everything in his arsenal, but he refuses to use guns.
Uniform:
Wears all black, black cape, black body armor, Black gloves. His mask has two points out of the top that look like bat ears.
Robin:
Robin is a early teenager [sometimes, depending on the comic you read, he can be as young as 10] He and his family worked for the circus as a family of acrobats. His parents and siblings were killed in front of him as well and, depending on the comic you read, it happens in different ways, the most common is killed by two face [more on two face later]. Bruce Wayne [Batmans alter ego] Feels guilty because he pretty much created two face, adopts robin. Robin stumbles upon the batcave [Batmans hideout, under his alter ego's mansion] Robin pesters batman to let him be his sidekick and reluctantly he agrees.
Weapons/Powers:
The exact same as batman, only he uses alot more acrobatic moves, and is no where near as strong as batman
Please try not to use lesser known Batman Villains. But I won't decline an entry just because it used a lesser known villain.
Uniform
A red set of tights with R on them, a yellow cape, and a simple black mask that covers only the eyes.
The Joker:
In most comics Joker was a maffia man who in an accident [usually while fighting batman] fell into a large vat of usually unknown liquid. when he comes out he has bleached white skin and green hair and his face locked in a smiling position. He goes insane and starts calling himself the Joker. Most of his crimes center around jokes, or common toys such as jack in the boxes. Usually his main goal is to turn everyone like him with his "joker gas" But however, when the joker gas is used on someone, they look like him, with the bleached skin and the locked smile, but they also die.
Weapons/Powers:
Joker Gas [see above]
Bombs that look like jack in the boxes.
Henchmen [pretty much people who didn't die from the joker gas]
Hand to hand combat.
Uniform:
Purple Suit
Penquin:
The Penquin was born into a wealthy family, however, he was deformed and resembles a Penquin, with flipper like hands, a large beak like nose and is the size of a midget. His parents, who were well known political people, realized that this would ruin their careers and tried to dispose of him when he was born by placing him in a basket and setting him afloat into a nearby river. The basket eventually floated into the sewers where he grew up. He turns up on the surface later to get revenge on his parents but he finds out they've been dead for ages, but they left him with a vast fortune. He has a wide variety of trained birds.

Cat Woman was a secretary that lived with a large amount of cats in her apartment [generic, lonely cat person =P]. She witnessed the corruption of her boss. Her boss put a hit on her, and she was pushed from her window, down at least 20 stories. She "died" When she woke up she was surrounded by her many cats. She suffered a head injury and pretty much lost her grip on reality, she thinks she was given 9 lives like cats. She fashions a costume that looks like a cat, claws and all. And decided to make use of her "power". She is not good, or evil. In some cases she helps the bad guys, or robs a museum. While other times she helps batman catch the other villains.

Mr.Freeze:
Mr.Freeze was a common thief, while trying to escape from batman he got himself locked into a cyrovault [those things that freeze you so you wake up in the future]. Batman desperately tries to open the door before he gets frozen, but fails. Several years later, he gets woken up after Wayne industries [Batman's Alter-ego's company] conducts research on the subject. However, being one of the first to be woken up there are complications, he must be chilled for the rest of his life, Wayne Industries fashions a suit for him to wear that keeps his body temperature low. Its best known for having ice around the head piece. He vows revenge on batman, and goes insane. He modified his suit to be able to create ice. His main goal is to freeze the world into a second iceage so he can take off his suit permanently.

While witnessing Batman fighting a villain [the villain varies by comic as well] has an accident to where one side of his face is badly burned. He goes insane and gets obsessed with the number 2. He commits crimes usually dealing with the number 2, such as using 2 choppers to rob 2 million dollars on the 2nd national bank on 2nd street. He carries around a coin which he is almost constantly flipping, the coin is a double sided coin, but one side has been scratched up. He usuualy uses it to determine his actions If it lands on the scratched side, he'll do something evil, like kill a hostage. If it lands on the clean side he''ll do something less evil, like escape with the ransom money.

Bane has two popular origin stories:

His brain cells pop and he goes berserk beating the snot out of batman. Batman retreats to heal and while hes at it, develops a mech that increases his strength 100 fold. They fight, batman wins, Bane returns to his normal self, but is now more reliant on the drug than before, and his brain is now pretty much toast.
