San Francisco Examiner - December 23, 1930

The second of three film adaptations of Mary Roberts Rinehart's 1920 mystery play The Bat is poised to open on Christmas Day. The first film adaptation of The Bat was made in 1926 by Roland West, who also helmed this 1930 version. Bob Kane also wrote, in his autobiography, that the titular villain of this piece was an inspiration for Batman. Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead starred in the third film adaptation, which was released in 1959.
