History: (Batman: Gotham Knights #12) - Acclaimed painter Roscoe Chiara was hired by Winsor Musell's chemical corporation to test out a new series of paints, but didn't tell Chiara that the paints were composed of untested chemicals. Chiara became colorblind after working with the paints. Chiara demanded vengeance, so he took on the identity of the Black and White Bandit and committed high profile thefts, stealing valuable black and white objects from Munsell's corporate holdings, such as an imperial chess set and a finely carved yin-yang symbol. The Black and White Bandit fought Batman twice, and escaped rwice, but was captured by the Dark Kight after their third battle.
