Description[edit | edit source]
Man-Bat reuses the Manbat hairpiece (with dark tan highlights) and torso with wings in a lighter reddish brown. His head is printed with eyebrows, red eyes, and a large grin showing his fangs and a second face bent into a scared expression. The torso is printed with muscles and a large patch of dark tan chest fur. The back is printed some dark tan fur at the top and the back muscles. He has dark blue unprinted legs.
In the Video Games[edit | edit source]
Man-Bat has a never before released Reddish Brown Bat-Ear piece for headgear, a reddish brown Minifigure head which depicts a bat's face with Red eyes and White fangs. He has a Black and Brown Bat-wing back accessory which allows him to glide. Man-Bat's torso is also Reddish Brown and depicts a furry male torso. His legs are Blue.
In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Man-Bat has super-strength and is able to glide on his wings.
He reappears in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and his appearance is similar, but his pants are now darker in colour and ripped. He is able to fly, rather than glide, has super strength, and can break glass by emitting sonic screams.
Background[edit | edit source]
Dr. Kirk Langstrom tested a serum based on bats' echolocation abilities on himself to try and cure his growing deafness, but it actually transformed him into a man-sized bat.
In LEGO Batman[edit | edit source]
In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Man-Bat was a boss on the level Zoo's Company. After completing the level, he is unlocked for purchase.
Role in the Video Game[edit | edit source]
In LEGO Batman[edit | edit source]
Man-Bat was an important part of The Penguin's team, which also consisted of Bane, Killer Croc, and Catwoman. The team planned to unleash an army of Penguin Minions on Gotham City.
Man-Bat waited with The Penguin and Catwoman for Batman and Robin to arrive at the zoo so they would know when to set up the satelite which would control the Penguin Minions. When the Dynamic Duo arrived, Penguin and Catwoman rushed off to the Arctic exhibit, knocking Man-Bat back into the hole of the boat they were on.
Man-Bat was discovered and defeated by Batman and Robin and was sent back to Arkham Asylum.
In LEGO Batman 2[edit | edit source]
In the console versions of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, Man-Bat is one of the escapees in the massive Arkham Asylum breakout. He can be found near at the top of Gotham Cathedral and, after being defeated, is available to purchase for 500,000 studs.
In the portable versions, Man-Bat plays no role in the story, but his minikit can be found on the level Gotham Metro. He costs 80,000 studs.

Man-Bat
Dr. Kirk Langstrom was a respected scientist, until one day he tested a new formula on himself. The formula was meant to cure hearing loss, using the sonar abilities of bats. But instead it transformed Dr. Langstrom into a monstrous man-sized bat. Drive by animal instinct, Man-Bat terrorizes the skies above Gotham City ready to take on anyone brave enough to get in his way.
