Biography:
Jean-Paul Valley, also known as Azrael, became the Armored Bat after the events of the "Knightfall" storyline in DC Comics. Following Bane's crippling of Bruce Wayne, Wayne chose Valley as his replacement, believing him to be easily controllable.
Valley donned a heavily armored Batsuit of his own design. He became increasingly violent and erratic, alienating allies like Robin, and diverging significantly from Batman's moral code. Azrael's brutal methods led to him being a controversial and ultimately unsuitable replacement for Batman. His first appearance in the Azrael/Batman role was in *Batman* #492 (1993).
Eventually, Bruce Wayne recovered and confronted Valley, reclaiming the mantle of Batman. While initially a side character to this arc, Azrael/Batman's extreme interpretation of the role led to the character becoming a significant addition to Batman lore as a symbol of how misguided a hero can become.
