"This city is filled with the corrupt, filled with injustice. I disappeared for 10 years to learn, to train. In my absence I had learned many things. Now I have returned. Now I will strike fear into evil, into those who have ruined this great city. Now I will purge this city of it's Injustice. You cannot hide from me, whether you are Roman Sionis, Carmine Falcone, or even the police, it doesn't matter, if you are the corrupt, the evil, you are not safe from me. For I am the night, I am the... Batman"
―Bruce Wayne in The Bat Injustice Trailer

The Bat is a TV Series on The CW. The first season focuses on Bruce Wayne's early days as the Batman. Bruce does not wear a the Batman costume until the final episodes, instead wearing a ninja style outfit for most of the season. He also is not called the Batman until the end of the first season. Warner Brothers has announced plans up until a 5th season, and perhaps more if the show does well. The Bat is set in the Flash/Arrow universe. The first season is set before the Flash/Arrow shows, however it is confirmed that eventually there will be a time skip, and the three shows will take place at the same time, which will allow for crossovers.
