Robert Kirkland "Kirk" Langstrom, also known as Man-Bat, is a zoologist specializing in chiropterology. He developed an extract that gives people the acute sense of bat sonar and tested the formula on himself.

This serum worked, but had an unpleasant side effect. The extract turned the scientist into a monstrous human-bat hybrid.

In this guise, Robert was initially completely insane until Bruce Wayne (Batman) found a way to reverse the process.
