Bat-Man is a monster created by the secret organization Shocker, appearing in the series Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider and modeled directly on the Bat-Man from episode 2 of the original Kamen Rider.
He is a male combatant with vampiric powers who preys especially on women to create an expanding army of Shocker foot soldiers.
Bat-Man’s transformed appearance is identical to the classic Bat-Man that appeared in episode 2 of Kamen Rider.
He functions as both a frontline fighter and an infection-style recruiter, using blood as both a weapon and a tool of conversion.
He targets modern settings such as idol events, mixing horror elements with pop culture.
His personality combines theatrical villainy with an overconfident, almost adolescent desire for grandiose world domination.
Vampiric Bloodsucking
Bat-Man drinks the blood of women much like a vampire.
When he drains a woman’s blood, he can convert her into a Shocker combatant instead of simply killing her.
These converted combatants retain the ability to bite others.
Through this chain of bites, the number of foot soldiers increases rapidly, multiplying like a geometric infection.
Combatant Enhancement
Bat-Man can share his own blood with the combatants he has created.
By infusing them with his blood, he enhances their physical abilities and makes them more dangerous in battle.
This power effectively lets him “upgrade” his minions on demand.
It turns his personal blood into a kind of dark performance booster for Shocker forces.
Physical Combat and Weaponry
In direct combat, Bat-Man uses his wings as blades.
These wings are sharp enough to slice through concrete, making close-range encounters with him extremely lethal.
His fighting style emphasizes hit-and-run slashes and aerial attacks.
The destructive power of his wings compensates for any lack of heavy weaponry.
Bat-Man is extremely ambitious and vocal about his plans.
He openly boasts that he will achieve world domination by creating an ever-expanding army of combatants.
His worldview and dramatic proclamations are so overblown that even fellow Shocker monster Spider-Man mocks him.
Spider-Man bluntly calls him a “chuunibyo,” meaning he acts like a teenager with delusions of dark, edgy grandeur.
Despite this mockery, Bat-Man takes himself very seriously.
He sees his vampiric infection plan as a sophisticated, unstoppable strategy rather than a childish fantasy.
Idol Event Incident
One of Bat-Man’s major operations is an attack on the backstage area of an idol event.
There, he ambushes numerous idols and turns many of them into Shocker combatants through his bloodsucking ability.
He does not stop with the performers.
He targets the male audience members as well, either killing them outright or converting them into additional combatants.
Through this ruthless method, he claims he will use idol fans and idols alike as raw material for his army.
This event showcases how he intends to scale his infection-based approach to global conquest.
Connection to the Shimamura Family
Bat-Man is also directly tied to the personal tragedies within the story’s cast.
He is identified as the murderer of the Shimamura brothers’ grandfather and grandmother.
This gives him a unique role as both a global threat and a deeply personal enemy.
For characters like Mitsuha Shimamura and Ichiyo Shimamura, Bat-Man is not just a Shocker monster but the killer of their family elders.
Bat-Man operates under Shocker’s larger command structure but exhibits a strong independent streak.
He enjoys mocking humans and revels in their fear, using it to reinforce his own sense of superiority.
His interactions with Spider-Man show a kind of dark comedy dynamic within Shocker’s ranks.
Spider-Man’s criticism highlights Bat-Man’s melodramatic behavior, while Bat-Man continues to speak and act as though he is the destined overlord of the world.
Although not always at the front lines of every conflict, his actions cast a long shadow.
The emotional impact of his crimes keeps him relevant even when he is not physically present in a scene.
Bat-Man blends classic vampire horror with the aesthetics of tokusatsu monster design.
His reliance on blood and infection symbolizes fear of uncontrolled spread—of violence, fanaticism, or evil influence.
The idol event attack plays on the contrast between cheerful pop culture and sudden monstrous intrusion.
By targeting idols and their fans, Bat-Man corrupts symbols of innocence and entertainment into weapons for Shocker.
His “chuunibyo” tendencies add a layer of self-aware humor to the horror.
The story uses him to both celebrate and poke fun at over-the-top villain archetypes, making him memorable and oddly charismatic despite his cruelty.
