Man-Bat (Dr. Robert Kirkland "Kirk" Langstrom) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Introduced in ''Detective Comics'' #400 (June 1970) as an enemy of the superhero Batman, the character belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up his rogues gallery.

Several other characters have si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
