Comic book alter ego of Bruce Wayne (6)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for batman that I've seen before include "cartoon character" , "who'd fight crime?" , "Cartoon hero or officer's servant" , "Comic superhero" , "Cartoon hero of Gotham City" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
