Robert Langstrom (The Doom That Came to Gotham)

Sign in to edit

'Robert Langstrom is a friend of Thomas Wayne.

Born in the 17th century as Robert Langstrom, he, Thomas Wayne, Henry Queen, and their fourth companion found the Testament of Ghul by fate and performed a ritual that extended their lives while making the once barren land they colonized prosperous as they established Gotham City and profited while concealing their longevity from the public. However, the ritual also awoke Iog-Sotha and brought him to the threshold of their reality.

Under his current identity as Kirk Langstrom, he isolated himself at Robin's Row where he studied bats and conducted rituals to commune with them before he was murdered by Talia Al Ghul. His corpse was then placed in Wayne Manor prior to Bruce Wayne's return, serving as a means for Bruce to locate the Testament for Talia. Despite his death, revealed to be the "spirit wrapped in bats" from the prophecy Etrigan told Bruce, Langstrom convinces Bruce to preform the ritual to commune with the bats and accept his destiny.
