From Wikipedia; Ōgon (Golden) Bat is a being from ancient Atlantis who was sent forward in time 10,000 years to battle evil forces threatening the present day.[3][5] He has a golden skull-shaped head, wears a green and white swashbuckler outfit with a high-collared red cape, and carries a rapier. He lives in a fortress in the Japanese Alps. His superpowers include superhuman strength, invulnerability, and the ability to fly.[1][2][3] Ōgon Bat has an evil counterpart known as Kurayami Bat (暗闇バット "Dark Bat").[3] His main enemy is Dr. Erich Nazō (ナゾー), the leader of a crime syndicate bent on world domination, who wears a black costume and mask with bat-like ears, a red eye and a blue eye.[3]
The Golden Bat made his debut in 1930 and is considered by some to be the first superhero. He has been in three movies (and some unlicensed ones as well), a great cartoon series as well as comic books. The character is pretty cool, and has a great look. His weapon is cool, and would be later used by Diamond Eye, with some slight differences. I would so buy a set on disc of this original cartoon. It got dubbed into English and shown in Australia, but seems to have vanished now. Other language dubs exist, and can be seen on YouTube.
