( it isn't a cowl he knows, but the body language is eerily similar. he knows, by know. has been reading up, following local news, gathering data on this city, this place, and it doesn't take a genius to learn that this, others who are the same but not quite showing up is - expected behavior.
the same but not quite is close enough as far as he is concerned. they're all the same, every last one of them. every cape he's ever known, and there is no need for spending time researching this specific hobbling bat. hobbling makes it too easy; he's weakened, and taking him out while he's limping would be a coward's move, and he is no coward. showing his hand without a plan also isn't quite ideal, but he's angry. it simmers low in his gut, chokes it's way up through his throat almost like a sob, and that's motivation enough for him to opt to play outside the lines of his own rules, just this one. just for a little while.
just enough to see.
the slits on his helmet over where his eyes are light up bright blue as he steps out from behind the corner batman is approaching, raises one of his desert eagle guns up to point the barrel straight for batman's forehead. if he looks close enough, he may see the hud working.
when he speaks, his voice is hidden behind a heavy voice modulator. leaves him sounding more robot than anything, even if it still manages to keep the air of contempt. )
excelsior. this is just for fun.
