Man Bat" (real name Dr. Robert Kirkland "Kirk" Langstrom' ) is a specific from DC Comics and also one of Batman's many adversaries.
He was a zoologist who tried to give humans a bat's acute sonar sense. Dr. Langstrom accomplished thus by giving himself the serum. Instead of giving him acute sonar sense, Langstrom was turned into a feral human-bat hybrid. Initially, he would act on instinct, however, in recent years, Man Bat has became a sympathetic villain or anti-hero.
Man-Bat was created by Frank Robbins, Neal Adams and Julius Schwartz first appearing in Detective Comics #400 . (1970)
