A New Cover Posted Every Day! Join the Facebook Fan Page at: www.facebook.com/SuperTeamFamilyTheLostIssues
Do you prefer Man-Bat as a full on villain, conflicted bad guy, or as a straight up ally to Batman and others? I like him as basically good, but misunderstood and struggling to maintain the balance between his human and savage side. For that reason, I can see him being somewhat of a Kindred Spirit to someone like Logan.

Another great cover. I’d buy this in a heartbeat. Nice job!
I'm not sure who could replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine - looks and sounds like it will be awhile before we find out; and, who will be the all new X-Men when Disney/Marvel bring them back to the big screen... should be interesting to see how they are introduced - and what storyline they will be part of...
I remember seeing Man-Bat for the first time in the Batman: From The 30's to the 70's hardcover. That and his appearances in The Batman Family, he always came across as a hero. Then he sorta became a tortured, twisted soul on Batman: The Animated Series, and a full on villain on The Batman, which seemed kinda odd.
I can just see these two teaming up against Blackwing (Silvermane's son).
Man-Bat is someone I've always wanted to see in a movie.
Man-Bat is probably the most significant of Batman's foes who has yet to receive a live-action treatment (Clayface being the only other contender that I can think of). I tend to like him best as an ally of Batman's, with the struggle you describe between his human intellect and his bestial urges.
I think Man-Bat as a sort of anti-hero is the best approach to writing the character. Great cover by the way!
@Bob & Wolfhammer: In other words; sort of a leather-winged Hulk.
I always liked Man-Bat as a hero. Making him a villain seemed like lazy writing. I can understand the human character filling the pull of wanting to transform into Man-Bat much like an addict, but I'd like to think he'd still have enough control to hunt criminals and evil scientists. I could go on and on but I have to get out the door.
Nice cover, Ross

@Carycomic: not a bad idea. And, since Blackwing canonically debuted as a Daredevil foe, Ross could make this cover a sequel to STF #3715!

Agreed.
Me again. The talk about Jackman as Wolverine gave me an idea for another "live action" team-up cover: Wolverine, and Gabriel van Helsing, probably against one version or another of Dracula.
Has Logan met Indiana Jones yet? They were running around the same time.
I also thought Punisher and the A-Team would be fun. They kind of drive the same van.
Not yet but both good suggestions.
@Simreeve: wouldn't it be something if Gabriel Van Helsing was from Holland, Michigan?*
*Think about it. ;-)
Man-Bat wearing a lab coat as Justice League Dark's resident scientist will NEVER not be awesome.

I agree with that comment, too.
Would you agree to a rematch between Man-Bat and the equally smock-clad Lizard?
See STF #3080 for their first run-in.
@Anon1208: actually, their first-run-in was even further back...in STF #2606! Otherwise, I second your motion for a third clash.
@Cary: OOOPS! My bad. :-(
Since I was the one who originally suggested the Man-Bat/Lizard combo in the first place, I fully support a third meeting, especially if they're both in lab coats this time.
Like, what if Dr. Connors were to recapture his humanity, only for Dr. Langstrom to start to lose his?
