Moth was a costumed criminal who worked in Gotham City, disguised as a giant moth.

History

His gang was captured by Batman, Robin and Batwoman, while he was brought down by Bat-Girl. A short time later, Moth escaped prison and Batman and Robin were worried for Bat-Girl's safety. Batman and Batwoman teamed up to recapture Moth, while Robin tried to prevent Bat-Girl from confronting the crook. Moth managed to capture Batman and Batwoman and he almost succeeded on eliminating them. Bat-Girl and Robin arrived in the nick of time and Moth was once again captured by Bat-Girl. Moth was not able to escape prison a second time.
