Actually, I was more thinking of handling it something like this.

Take Bruce/Dick/Tim and move them into the future.  Then, suppose Genom 
artillery started to find its way to the streets of Gotham.  Not only is 
this a problem for the Batman, it's a problem for Bruce's corporate 
holdings as well.  Realizing this, he goes to Megatokyo to find out 
exactly what is going on.

Tim would find an excuse to follow him, probably not telling him, at that.
Dick (Nightwing) would get in on the action somehow, though I'm not sure 
how, just yet.

Something to consider about the Batman is his strong feelings about 'his' 
city.  Being in someone else's city, I am inclined to feel that he would 
show a great deal of respect there.  In this case, the 'owners' of the 
city are the Knight Sabers.

What we would probably have is all of them on the same side, but not 
truly working together.  The Bat is not given to teamwork, except when he 
chooses his team, and the same could probably be said for the Knight Sabers.

While it might or might not happen, a Batman/Robin/Nightwing vs. the 
Knight Sabers battle would be a DAMN  good fight. (remember, this is the 
2030's Batman... while in the current continuity he seems to have an 
aversion to armor, I attribute that to his need for high mobility.  If he 
was able to develop a hardsuit-type of armor, he would probably use it.
I have no doubts of his ability to do so.

Also interesting will be how I handle the Bat's aversion to the hated gun.
The 2033 idea of a utility belt could get interesting.
