Biography[]
Season 1[]
Man-Bat was an inmate alongside Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy at Arkham Asylum and was displeased with the disgusting prison food. He agreed with his fellow prisoners who insisted the Joker would not come to save Harley, although she called them all insane. He flew around in the facilities when Poison Ivy staged a break-out.
By "A High Bar", he had managed to escape as he was seen at the Hall of Doom eating a donut with Legion of Doom colleague Two-Face. However, he soon gets captured again as he is seen in Arkham in "Finding Mr. Right" watching and cheering for Harley and Ivy's fight against Batman on the Tawny Young show.
In "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", Man-Bat was once again out of Arkham and attended the Legion of Doom's prospective members' party when Harley Quinn and KGBeast were nominated as potential members. He was initially seen mingling with the Riddler and later Black Manta. He was present when Aquaman hijacked the party and clapped after Harley defeated him.
Season 2[]

Man-Bat in Arkham Asylum
"All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues" revealed that Man-Bat was an inmate at Arkham way back when Harleen Quinzel was hired as the new psychiatrist. He scared Harley on her first day by dropping down from the ceiling of his cell when she walked by.
In the episode "There's No Place to Go But Down," Man-Bat was assigned as the lawyer for Harley and Ivy when they were accused of murdering The Penguin. However, he was unsuccessful in defending them because no one understood him, and Ivy confessed when she was put on the stand.
Man-Bat was a guest at Ivy's failed wedding to Kite Man in the season 2 finale where he could be seen eating out of a mason jar and mingling with Killer Croc before the ceremony. He helped fight against the GCPD officers after Commissioner Gordon had led them to hijack the ceremony. As seen in "Journey to Love", Batman stepped on Man-Bat during the fight while fighting Killer Croc.
Season 3[]

In "The 83rd Annual Villy Awards", Man-Bat attended that year's Villy Awards, where he stood outside while the press took photos and interviewed high-profile nominees. During the ceremony, he won one of the awards and gave an unintelligible speech, after which Joker, the host, joked that he hoped they would not have to censor any of it. He was later sat at a table with two unknown guests.
Season 4[]
In "Gotham's Hottest Hotties", Man-Bat sits at a table in the main room with Toyman, Reverse-Flash, Black Manta, Doctor Trap, Snowflame, Solomon Grundy, Sinestro, Captain Cold, Felix Faust, Parasite, and Gorilla Grodd. After Ivy reveals she's the new CEO, the room goes into an uproar, and Man-Bat screeches at Ivy.
After Ivy passes around her dossier of her "socially conscious evil plan, Man-Bat, wearing his reading glasses, looks at it as Snowflame rejects it. He then rips it in half and chews on one of the pieces. He then leaves in solidarity with the other villains there.
Afterward, Man-Bat, Black Manta, Snowflame, and Metallo are seen outside Ivy's office laughing at her expense when she receives a bikini that reads, "I'm a dumb boss". They leave after one of them tosses a copier machine into Ivy's office.
In the L.O.D. breakroom, Ivy offers vegan donuts to Grodd, Metallo, Man-Bat, Snowflame, and Bane, and they all take one. Ivy then offers to hear their suggestions in her office, and Man-Bat isn't seen suggesting Ivy in her office.
Holding a meeting with the big shots in the L.O.D. from earlier that day and now including Livewire and Cheetah, Ivy asks for everyone's plans to be placed on the table. After they do that, Nora hands Ivy a flamethrower and incinerates the files. As Ivy claims they'll all follow her socially conscious evil, Nora passes around new dossiers. After Snowflake rejects Ivy's proposal, and snorts cocaine on the dossier and powers up, inspiring the others there to stand up in rejection against Ivy's plan. Ivy then manipulates the plants in the room to attack the retaliators. Man-Bat lunges at Ivy, but her vines conscript him and knock him out by tossing him against a window pane in the room.
In "Icons Only", Man-Bat flies to the Lexor hotel and lands in the pool. He's seen again when Hargaret makes her debut appearance.
In "Metamorphosis", Man-Bat is seen outside of the LOD with various other villains playing with a piñata of Nightwing.
