Sons of Batman

Origin
Originally an extremist Christian biker called 'The Order'. Then a guy in a rusty iron mask calling himself 'Dumas' took over and turned them into an intense vigilante gang. Though they called themselves the Order of Saint Dumas, most criminals simply called them the New Red Hood gang as Dumas' helmet began to rust.

This lured the Joker out of hiding and posed such a threat to Gotham that it forced Dick Grayson to take up the Batmantle when Bruce was put out of commission by Bane.

After Dumas captured Joker, Bat-Dick confronted the iron masked leader and fought him. Batman managed to unmask Dumas, exposing him as the returned to life Jason Todd.

Jason fled and his gang devoted themselves to Batman, so mystified by his ability to take out their leader. Dick used the gang to return law and order to a ravaged Gotham and installed an assassin looking for a chance at redemption as their leader (Jean-Paul Valley).

Since then Bruce hasn't really warmed to this gang and only tolerated them, never attempting to inspire them and mold them like Dick had, and thus certain members of the gang were able to lead them astray.

Nowadays they don't patrol streets much anymore. Instead, they shakedown businesses for protection money, kidnap Arkham parolees and beat them to near-death with baseball bats (their signature weapon) and rumor has it, some of the leadership have members distributing drugs.

That's not to say they're all bad. Bette is misguided, looking for fun. Duke was the President of their Youth Group and is becoming quickly disenfranchised with the gang since becoming a full member of their Inner Circle, Luke Fox is working undercover for Batman, and Bruce Wayne has even joined the gang as Matches Malone in hopes of being able to find a few gems in the rough that he can salvage before he is forced to declare full on war against the gang and take them down.

 * VP- Black Spider
 * Road Chaplain- Deacon
