Class 3 article

This article is about the Batman Minifigure. For the Monster Fighters minifigure, see Manbat.

Dr. Kirk Langstrom is an enemy of Batman, who appears in LEGO Batman: The Video Game and reappears in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. The Manbat is a Monster Fighters minifigure released in 2012. He has a new, big-eared part on his head and winged arms. He has a new printed head part with red eyes and teeth. His torso is printed with furry brown skin.

Description

The Manbat has unprinted Dark Brown legs. His torso is dark brown with Reddish Brown printing of a bare hairy chest on it. His arms are dark brown with reddish brown hands. The arms are not connected in the traditional method for minifigure arms, which allows them to move vertically up and down, instead the arms jut out from his body horizontally, and can therefore be turned in a circle. They have small wings jutting out from their lower side. The Bat Monster's face is reddish brown, and printed with red eyes and a mouth full of pointed white teeth. His dark brown hairpiece covers the back of his head completely, and has very large ears protruding out of it on either side.

In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Man-Bat has super-strength and is able to glide on his wings.

He has 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

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

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

In LEGO Batman

The Penguin's team from left to right: Penguin, Killer Croc, Bane, Man-Bat, Catwoman

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

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.
