Out of the night comes a menacing winged figure! Blind district attorney Tony Quinn takes his battle for justice from the courtrooms to the streets, battling evil as The Black Bat!
Tony Quinn plays a dual role in a grim war against corruption and lawlessness! Vengeance stalks on cat feet when the Bat prepares to spring at brutal killers — spiking a vicious attempt to perpetrate the biggest jewelry haul of the century!
Many fans and experts note that not only did The Black Bat borrow much from the heroes who came before, but he also influenced heroes in various mediums, both contemporary to him and in the future. Regardless, several aspects of The Black Bat made him stand out as a unique hero, one of the most notable of this being his costume, designed to live up to his chosen name and to hopefully frighten more than a few criminals into submission. Wearing a fully black skintight outfit with a full-face mask to match, The Black Bat took his crime fighting persona literally by adding a cape complete with ribbing to simulate the wings of a bat to his ensemble. Gloved and gauntleted, Tony Quinn completely conceals not only his identity but also his unique ability to see in the dark behind the frightening visage of The Black Bat. Using this along with his blazing guns and obviously well-trained fists, he delivers a crushing blow to crime in each story.
The Black Bat does not fight in total anonymity, however. Although his identity is a secret, the masked man wants to make sure that those he pursues know that he is fully responsible for his actions. To this end, he leaves a black bat shaped sticker on the bodies of those he kills or injures. This is a tactic used by other heroes before him and since and serves only one purpose-so the underworld knows that they have an enemy in The Black Bat!
