Batman vs. Bats

Bruce Wayne is no ordinary guy. He sleeps during the day. Then, when the sun sets, he becomes the legendary Batman. The superhero first appeared in a comic book in 1939. Since then, he’s been the star of countless comics, cartoons, TV shows, and movies.

Batman catches villains and saves people from danger. How? He uses fancy gadgets. He puts on a Batsuit to protect his body. He also wears a mask. Why? So no one will know who he really is! Then he zooms around in his car, the Batmobile. And even though he can’t fly, he can still glide from building to building with his cape.

Batman lives in an imaginary place called Gotham City. When he’s not fighting crime, Bruce Wayne lives in a giant house. Underneath it is his secret Batcave. This underground hideout is where Batman rests and prepares for the next night of action.

There’s only one Batman. But there are more than 1,000 types of bats. Bats have been around for about 50 million years! Most bats are nocturnal, which means they’re active at night. They fly through the night sky looking for their next meal.

How do bats hunt in the dark? Many use their amazing ears and a skill called echolocation. First, a bat makes a squeaking sound. The sound travels through the air as invisible waves. These sound waves bounce off a nearby object, like an insect. Then they come back to the bat. This lets the bat know where the insect is. Yum!

Bats live all over the world. When they aren’t hunting, they’re usually sleeping . . . upside down! Some hang in dark caves. Others snooze on branches or in buildings.

Bats are an important part of our ecosystem. They gobble up pesky insects, like mosquitoes, that can harm people or plants. Some bats can eat 2,000 insects a night. Our superheroes!
