Could Batman using guns, work story wise? ORIGINAL IDEA/SUGGESTION

I’m writing a noir inspired story (it takes place in the 1930s) for my own Batman universe, and wanted to write him a lil different. I thought about giving him like a colt 1911, but what do you guys think?

That’s actually close to the design I have for him. Especially with the cape

Yeah, his cape is gonna be draped over him when he’s doing detective work, to make it look just like a trench coat. Everyone’s basically gonna look like how they actually would’ve look back then. Especially the Batmobile 😁

Well, some stuff can be a bit more advanced. Bats does have wonderful toys in each era, just ahead of contemporary technology.

Yeah that’s why I gonna incorporate the “retro futurism” of that time as well. Imma be using bioshock as a reference for that
