Decent Man-Bat stories?

[Restingvoice]

I get what you're saying completely and I'm in search of the same thing. 'Batman: Man-Bat' by Jamie Delano and John Bolton (as mentioned above) is more that kind of thing as far as I can tell.

I browsed it and oh wow that's an old one. That's definitely not available in my place. I don't think it's on DC's digital store yet either.

I saw the Neal Adams Man-Bat and I don't like what I saw. He can talk, he looks goofy, as in, he's drawn goofy. Less of a monster and more of a cartoon character. It's his expression while in Man-Bat form but wearing Kirk's clothes and talks like a normal person.

I prefer the more bestial Man-Bat like in BTAS On Leather Wings or Arkham Knight, or at least if they have to make him talk and wear clothes, make him sound creepy. Actually do the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing. Don't keep the same personality and consciousness.

Agreed. BTAS Man-Bat is the best:

So any recommendation for that type of Man-Bat?

Since you prefer BTAS Man-Bat, here are my Top 3 recommendations:

1. "The Beast Within" - Batman Adventures #11

2. "Windows to the Soul" - Batman & Robin Adventures #11

3. "Like a Bat Outta Gotham" - Batman: Gotham Adventures #18

I somehow never thought of just buying BTAS adaptation, even though I used to sit reading them for free as a kid in the book stores. Too focused and distracted by the stupidity of the main canon. These ones I know available digitally and maybe even still at my regular store. I talked often about how BTAS is so successful because they work for both kids and adults and that's how they mainline comic should be. Time to send a message.
