admonition ! spoiler forDetective Comics # 1040 !
When it comes toDC Comicsbaddies , Batmanhas a long list ofuniquely distorted and deranged villainsto fence with , and now he ’s just viciously called out one of his most Hellenic villains : Man - Bat ! Batman might not wish a set of the enemies he oppose , but hereallydoesn’t care for Dr. Kirk Langstrom one bit , and it express .
Throwing some alternative insults Man - Bat ’s room in the 2nd storey ofDetective Comics # 1040 , “ The Quiet and Unsung Death of Kirk Langstrom , ” by Dan Watters and Max Raynor , sees Man - Bat running rampant above the streets of Gotham stimulate quite a scene as he take care for his alienated wife , Francine . Hopped up on yet another version of hisMan - Bat serum , Batman track Kirk down on a rooftop as he freaks out in an increasingly alarming way .

Told via narration position overtop images of Man - Bat ’s origin and his more late story with the Justice League Dark , it ’s discover that , “ Batman never liked Langstrom very much . Even before he turn himself into Man - Bat , ” and although he think Langstrom ’s interpersonal chemistry was “ brilliant , ” it was also “ sloppy , ” depart paw - in - hand with Batman ’s opinion that Langstrom ’s “ will was feeble . ” Believing the compounding of the three to be “ a catastrophe waiting to befall , ” Batman calls outMan - Batwith these brutally honest putdowns , finishing thing off by also divulge that Kirk has “ let down the multitude in his life again and again , ” mostly due to him constantly and predictably regress into his Man - Bat state , leaving no room for sympathy any longer .
shote - backing on these viscous but wholly exact abuse , the literal worm - like fearfulness - ogre reside inside Man - Bat — an entity no doubt tie to the upcomingBatman : Fear Stateevent running across all chiropteran - rule book soon — adds further insult to injury by calling Langstrom out as the one thing it claims Batmanalsoknows him to be : an addict . Due to the character flaws the narration has already described , Langstrom ca n’t facilitate but rejoin over and over again to the self - made blood serum that transforms him into the terrific bat - mannikin that is Man - Bat , a trouble that he ’s not only terrified of but now also acutely aware of as well .
Always doing what he can tohelp pay off the villains he fights , Batman ’s disdain for Man - Bat might be harsh , but it is n’t unwarranted . As Man - Bat ’s daimon say , Batman “ sees ” Kirk , acknowledge what he is , what he ’s gone through , what he ’s accomplished — what he ’s die at — and what he refuse to come to grips with , and although Batman will do what he can to avail , Man - Bat ’s dependency is a job Kirk needs to present promontory - on before any real progress can be made at all .
So even though Batman is n’t a fan of Dr. Kirk Langstrom or his monstrous alter ego , hurling some well deserve — and middle - possibility — insults his style is n’t him being petty , but rather him just being precise in his observations . Man - Batmay be infected with some fresh insidious iniquity , but if he ’s ever go to get onBatman ’s good side , he ’s going to need to take The Dark Knight ’s insults to heart , no matter how unpleasant they may seem .
