Unlike Killer Croc, this particular Batman villain does feel like a true copycat to Spider-Man's arch-enemy, The Lizard, because of both characters being scientists who create something as a way of treating their physical disabilities, and they both end up turning into animalistic creatures who fight the heroes as a result.
@sugarcombfilms34678 жыл бұрын
Yeah, but Man Bat is scarier and Lizard is deadlier. I mean, you'd have better chances of winning against Man Bat, escaping with claw marks, a phobia of bats, and a full diaper. Against the Lizard, if you can escape, it's gonna be without your face.

I feel so sorry for Kirk Langstrom and Curt Connors. They're both just innocent family men trying to restore what they lost. Kirk wants to restore his hearing while Curt wants to restore his lost arm. But as a consequence, they turned themselves into savage monsters. But luckily there are heroes who only want to help them get back to normal.
@JYDY-if5rf Жыл бұрын
Kirk is a brilliant zoologist and geneticist that specialized in chiropterology (the study of bats) in the Gotham City Museum of Natural History. With almost no funding for his studies, Kirk would sneak into the museum at night to extract glands and DNA from the live bats to develop a way for humans to gain better hearing and make going deaf a problem of the past. The goal was to mix just the right amount of DNA from the bat’s gland into human DNA to achieve his desired effect. The problem was, the only person to test his secret experiments on were himself. Since he was quickly losing hearing himself, he decided to make himself the guinea pig. The experiment worked...a little too well. He developed super hearing that was too powerful and within hours developed the look of a bat-a man-bat. A half man, half beast that is crazy and violent with vicious animal instincts.
