Byron Wyatt (New Earth-Thirty Four)

Becoming the Batman
Bryon Wyatt was a young method actor living in Los Angeles looking for work where ever he could find it.

Most of his career up until the present were small roles in commercials or as an extra, but never really had a big part in anything substantial until his audition for a Batman tv series. He believe he was a shoe in for the role and proceed to do his research into the character and bought several comics to do so. During this time he began to create a distinct Batman personality that most would describe as super realistic. He would addition with this Batman personality and get the part in the series.

Filming would start a month later and all would be going well for Bryon, until he began to get stressed from the long and regimented filming schedule, due to the director being a perfectionist. To cope, Bryon would take different drugs to relax and unwind. As time went on Bryon would begin using the drugs in excess to fully effect him, leading to him experiencing side effects including hallucinations and mood swings

Half way through filming the season, the director would be arrested for rape and the project would be placed on hiatus, before being fully abandoned. Bryon would receive a severance, but the sheer shock of his big break suddenly bursting into flames and the extreme drug use, broke the actor and warped his mind. Bryon began to believe he was actually a new version of Batman. He convinced himself that he was a "fresh" take on the character and that the show was him protecting Los Angeles from criminals. Using the severance money he received, he would buy a couple small businesses around the city to pay for his war on crime, as well as a small warehouse to be his "Batcave". Knowing that the world of this "Batman" was not the same as Gotham decided he could not be merciful and decided that best thing for his "Batman" to do was use a gun.
