As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for quirky and unconventional characters, I find myself intrigued by the upcoming Netflix series, Bat Boy. Growing up, I remember the character from those tabloids my grandmother used to read, and the off-broadway musical was one of the most bizarre productions I’ve ever seen at a school talent show.
As a passionate gamer, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about my next venture! I, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the guy behind the captivating world of Riverdale, am diving into a fresh project – a YA horror-comedy series based on the ’90s tabloid character, Bat Boy. This time, I’ll be teaming up with Joe Tracz, renowned for his work on One Piece.
In 1992, Bat Boy made his debut on the cover of the Weekly World News, gaining such immense popularity that it effectively turned him into an unspoken emblem for the publication. Within the narrative of these tales, Bat Boy was constantly evading suspicious government officials, often being captured before managing to break free and begin anew.
Here’s the synopsis, via Deadline, who first reported the series:
In the television series adaptation based on coming-of-age themes, the protagonist is a teenager named Bobby Bates. Accompanied by Charisma and her peculiar sister Olive, Bobby readjusts to regular life following years spent isolated near the remnants of an old carnival. Upon enrolling at Cypressville High School, Bobby embarks on a personal exploration, striving to fit in with his new classmates while navigating society and unraveling a mystery that originates from the Florida marshes. Notably, he bears distinct half-bat characteristics such as sharp teeth and pointed ears, and there’s an additional challenge of his requirement for human blood.
At a certain time, Peter Bagge, who had developed a strong dislike for cartooning, launched “The Adventures of Batboy” comic strip at the Weekly World News. This strip persisted, first by Bagge and then by Danielle Corsetto, until the paper ceased publication in 2007.
