The character came up with the American artist Bob Kane in two days off. In his fantasies, Kane was repelled from the film "Zorro" and adventure magazines of the 1930s, first, to the light of a Birdman's bird. Frank plagiarism criticized the colleague artist Bill Finger. The illustrator did not like the wings, a bright outfit of a character and a mask, partially closing face. Finger suggested changing cumbersome wings on a raincoat (it is more convenient to fight with enemies), make a mask completely closed, and the red trico change to gray.
After that, the appearance of the hero began to resemble a mysterious bat, and not just a flying person.
