There’s a new Bat in town! For years, Gotham has been protected by Batman and his extended bat-family, but a dark shadow exists within the infamous city of crime. While Bruce Wayne may use the idea of a bat to strike fear into the heart of criminals, he’s only dressed like the infamous creature of the night. Dr. Kirk Langstrom on the other hand, is a bat…man. Or a Man-Bat to be precise!
Cursed to transform into the nightmarish abomination of science gone horribly wrong, Langstrom’s Man-Bat persona resulted in an unwilling monster. What if Langstrom wanted to be a monster though? That’s the question that the new Man-Bat series will ask, as writer Dave Wielgosz artist Sumit Kumar get to work on a tale where the infamous doctor embraces the monster within:
For years Kirk Langstrom has struggled with his monstrous alter ego Man-Bat and the serum that transformed him. But he’s finally hit rock bottom following a devastating setback, and he’s going to take out his anger on every single citizen of Gotham City. Will the combined might of Batman and the GCPD be enough to stop Langstrom once and for all? Or will this just be the start of Man-Bat’s devastation?
And now I’m flashing back to Batman: Arkham Knight and its magical ability to instantly ruin clean pants whenever you came face to face with man-Bat in those sequences. While I go change my pants, here’s a look at the best comic book covers of the week:
