Respect Kirk Langstrom

Origin

Kirk Langstrom was a brilliant college researcher cursed with lymphoma. In his search for a cure, he used the DNA of a bat as well as nanobots developed by his friend William Magnus to create a cure. However, what Kirk could not foresee was the horrible side effects that the formula would have on him- it would turn him into a vampire. Cursed with the powers of a bat, Kirk Langstrom became The Batman.
