I am pleasantly surprised that with the 5th pick in the 1st round I am able to draft...Batman.

Though regarded by many Gothamites as an "urban legend" built on superstition and fear of the city's darkened streets, Bruce Wayne knows all too well that the Batman is a cold, hard reality of his own fabrication. Since his parents' death in Gotham's dreaded "Crime Alley," Wayne has spent his life in pursuit of physical and mental perfection in order to wage unrelenting war on crime. Watching over Gotham's streets from its gargoyles and parapets, the Dark Knight is the city's last best hope against evil. And it is this obsession that drives the Batman, for Wayne has vowed that no innocent should suffer the pain he has endured.

Real Name: Bruce Wayne
Occupations: Industrialist, costumed crime-fighter and crusading adventurer
Gender: Male
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 210 lbs
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black

I was never a real big Batman fan to be honest. Recently I picked up the Kingdom Come and Hush trades and started to gain a real appreciation for the character. Now, I think a well written Batman book is some of the best time spent if you still like to read comics.
