As the title says, I am looking for a Space Marine Chapter that is similar in style to Batman and his style of combat or the League of Shadows and their combat style. Raven Guard? Home-brew? Any suggestions?

Night Lords

Raven Guard or Homebrew based on Ravenguard. Night Lords is psychotic Batman. If theme is more important than quality, go Reiver heavy. Striking from the Shadows with Gravity Defying Terror Troops Gliding to the ground before melee is pretty Batman iconic.

Makes perfect sense. Thank you!

The Ashen Claws are probably what you're after. They're technically a renegade splinter of the Raven Guard Legion rather than a formal successor chapter, but they're still apparently loyal to the Imperium and are on 'good' terms with the Carcharodons. They were originally recruited from xeric (i.e. desert-dwelling) tribes on Terra and had vaguely Arabic names (in other words, somebody called Ra's al-Ghul could easily be an Ashen Claw). They spent the Scouring showing the Night Lords what being attacked by the Night Lords feels like.

Thanks, I'll definitely take a look at that.

If you're willing to play on the traitor side of things, there's also the Night Lords.

Definitely if you're going for the Thomas Wayne Batman
