10 Most Disturbing Moments In Batman Comics

2. Manbat Makes A Bat-Baby - Batman: Manbat

If you can briefly distract yourself from the fact that Batman: Manbat has a title made of two words made into two entirely different names, you're well and truly in for a wild ride.

Because the Manbat saga goes where no other comic has dreamed to dare with Kirk Langstrom, in that it shows us Manbat's sex life in explicit, unflinching detail. No, not his sex life from before he was chemically transformed into a huge bat-like monster - his sex life after he became a huge, drooling, bat-like monster.

Because when Kirk manages to turn his wife, Francine, into another huge bat-like monster - which, for the record, we also see in graphic, fleshy detail - they then proceed to make passionate bat-love, allowing the reader to watch their leathery skins bump and grind and scar us all permanently for life.

However, it's probably not as weird as half of the stuff written on the internet about ol' Langstrom, so maybe a spot of bat-boning is actually kind of tame.
