Toys - McFarlane Toys : Discover the Man-Bat figure

By Mulder, 27 february 2022

This genius-level zoologist attempted to make a serum derived from bats, in order to give humans special sonar senses. But the formula backfired, mutating Langstrom into a giant Man-Bat, complete with its own feral personality. Batman routinely tangles with this creature of the night, hoping to save Langstrom from his own scientific sins.

Man-Bat (Dr. Robert Kirkland Kirk Langstrom) is a supervillain appearing in 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. Originally portrayed as a supervillain, later incarnations show Man-Bat as a sympathetic villain or antihero. Man-Bat originated as an anthropomorphic, feral, bat-like creature, lacking sentience and acting purely on instinct; the result of Langstrom testing a serum that could supposedly give humans a bat's acute sonar sense on himself. Batman managed to reverse the effects, but Langstrom would return as Man-Bat time and time again, albeit not necessarily as a villain, as Langstrom would sometimes retain enough sanity to use his powers for good. Several other characters have since appeared as similar Man-Bat creatures, including Langstrom's wife Francine and father Aaron. Since his debut at the end of the Silver Age of Comic Books, Man-Bat has been featured in various media adaptations, including television series and video games.
