He's a hang gliding super villain and used kite-based devices to commit crimes. He was ridiculous at the time, and that hasn't changed in the 56 years since his creation.

He's only appeared occasionally since, and usually as some kind of critique regarding how comic books have changed.

Like that. Anyway, in today's Batman by Tom King and David Finch, he's back.

Batman 006-014For a page at least. And he's regrown an arm! Just in time to give Gotham Girl a try-out.

Oh and while one rather controversial scene in the issue…Batman 006-018 ..may remind some of Alfred's objections in Batman Returns to Bruce Wayne constantly revealing his secret identity to random women, I got a total vibe from The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man…
