Timothy "Jace" Fox is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Len Wein and Irv Novick, he first appeared in Batman #313 (1979) as one of the sons of Lucius Fox, an associate of Bruce Wayne who manages Wayne Enterprises and supplies equipment for Wayne's double life as Batman. After years of absence, the character reemerged during the Infinite Frontier relaunch with a rebooted origin and stars in the I am Batman comic series.[1]
The current version of the character is a former hedonistic playboy whose irresponsible lifestyle led to a hit-and-run killing. When his father uses his wealth to suppress his culpability and ships him to military school, Tim's relationship with his family is strained. After graduating and becoming an adult, Tim secretly spent his time as a covert mercenary, trained by Katana and other mentors under the name Jace before returning to Gotham, where tensions between himself and his family continues.[2] Learning of his father's involvement with Batman, he adopts the Batman mantle and later begins operating in New York City while reconciling his relationship with his family. As Batman, Jace Fox differs from the original in his more restrained approach to crime-fighting and how his identity as an African-American influences his outlook and perception as a vigilante.[3]
