Been waiting for something like this for a while. My idea is sort of an offshoot of yours. I would redesign Dark Claw, as I feel that Batman and Wolverine were not a good combination. However, when I think of Batman (correct me if I'm wrong), I think of a superhero who is extremely powerful, but is really a street level hero who depends on his technology, innovations, and wit to defeat the villains and his inner demons. When I think of that, the first other character that pops into my mind is Tony Stark. So I present to you, IRON BAT!

Real Name: Bruce Stane (sounds like Wayne and Stark put together, and a possible plot twist)

Origin: Bruce Stane was going to a movie theater to watch a superhero picture, and when he left, his parents were gunned down by a criminal known as known as "Chill" (Wong-Chu). He was sent to live in a secret mansion of his father's with his butler Jarvis Pennyworth, a former boxer. He threw himself into his education, and Jarvis was a helpful father figure during this time. After graduating college with a masters degree in engineering (which he earned due to the premier version of the Batarang), he created his premier armor and loads of bat-related weaponry and set out as the Iron Bat. He would later become a member of the Avengers' League.
