By As if like clockwork, another character has been announced for LEGO Batman. This is just adding to how this could be the best of all the LEGO games, but that we’ll have to wait. The character announced is Man-Bat, and full bio and gallery follow.
MAN-BAT
REAL NAME: Robert Kirkland (“Kirk”) Langstrom
OCCUPATION: Biologist
BASE OF OPERATIONS: Suburban Gotham City
EYES: Red
HAIR: Brown
An expert in biology with a specialty in bats, Doctor Kirk Langstrom hoped to cure his growing deafness by creating a serum that would give him a bat’s ability of echolocation, which allows those creatures to use sound to navigate in the dark. However, the serum had an unforeseen side effect, reacting with Langstrom’s genetic makeup to transform him into a man-sized bat. The serum also robbed Langstrom of his intellect, and he went on a crazed rampage, terrorizing Gotham City until Batman was able to reverse his transformation. Langstrom, unwilling to give up on the serum, injected himself again soon after, and turned once more into Man-Bat. After kidnapping his fiancée, Francine, he injected her as well, and she too became a half-human/half-bat hybrid. Batman again stopped Man-Bat, restoring both Langstrom and Francine to humanity.
POWERS
In his bat-like form, Man-Bat has powerful wings that allow him to fly, and strength far greater than that of a normal human. He has the natural sonar of a bat that allows him to navigate in the dark, but his vision in daylight hours, when transformed, is severely limited.
