Batman has faced a lot of criminals over the years. He has also faced off against a few heroes too. He has managed this by always staying one step ahead of the pack. Batman has maintained his head start through a combination of advanced technology and advanced knowledge. But Gotham City’s own technologically advanced Unsanity Collective presents Batman with a simple choice: adapt, or die.Batman has always been at the forefront of technological development. Batman, through his friend Lucius Fox and his ownership of Wayne Enterprises, has access to tools and gadgets that are lightyears ahead of what is on the market. His technology even outstrips that of most militaries. His skills and his training take him a long way. But Batman would not be able to do what he does without the edge he is given by the gadgets in his utility belt. The Unsanity Collective was first introduced in Batman 2016 #106 (by James Tynion IV, Jorge Jimenez, Tomeu Morey and Clayton Cowles). This community of much maligned cyberpunk misfits is based around the idea that human society is crippled by emotional trauma. Their goal is to use cutting edge technology to rid humankind of the pain that is holding it back, freeing everyone to live their best lives. This has naturally made them some enemies. However, the threat that the Unsanity Collective poses towards Batman is existential. Because The Unsanity Collective’s own existence puts Batman in the position of having to leap far beyond what he is now, or risk becoming a relic of the past.Batman has always had to work hard to stay ahead of the era he occupies, technologically speaking. But as modern technology faces its own exponential leap forward, the leap Batman must take to maintain his lead risks transforming the character into something unrecognizable. The Unsanity Collective have upped the ante of communal technology. Their cool cyberpunk aesthetic and biohacker sensibilities are a big step forward aesthetically and technologically. They have raised the bar so high that Batman is going to have to jump that much higher to maintain his position. This is a multispectrum threat to The Dark Knight. In universe, it puts pressure on Batman. It isn’t easy to stay ahead of global technological development, even with a billion-dollar corporation at one’s back. And every step closer the criminal element gets to Batman, the more danger it puts him in. Out of universe, it raises its own issues. Batman is currently one of the most recognizable characters in popular media. The Unsanity Collective’s technological envelope pushing places Batman at a difficult cross road. The character can maintain his iconic identity and slip behind the cutting edge. Or, Batman can leap ahead in a way that changes core elements of his iconic presentation.
