* ''ComicBook/Transformers2019'': The Probats are a race of bat-like aliens who are exploited by the Cybertronians for their [[SolidGoldPoop valuable excrement]]. They have poor vision and rely on echolocation, which is why they mistake Cliffjumper for the similar-looking Bumblebee. They should be able to fly like bats, but unfortunately, the [[TheQuisling Cybertronian-appointed despot]] had all the wings of all Probats besides himself clipped, believing only he should have the gift of flight.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Batfink}}'': DefiedTrope. Batfink is TheHero in this cartoon series, a FunnyAnimal in a yellow jumpsuit with red boots and gloves, and bat-like steel wings that make him ImmuneToBullets. He's an AffectionateParody of Series/{{Batman}} and Series/TheGreenHornet, and he JustForFun/FightsCrimeWithX, X being those steel wings and lots of DeusExMachina.

** Taken UpToEleven in ''Series/KamenRiderDrive'', where a rough third of the 108 Roidmudes had their original {{mook}} forms be a bat, the others being spiders and cobras.

** ComicBook/{{Morbius}} is an AntiHero who became a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent genetically modified vampire]], with bat genes and an [[LooksLikeOrlok Orlok-like appearance]]. However, in his 3rd solo series and some alternate universes -- like in an ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'' story arc and in [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries animated]] [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan series]] -- he was transformed into a half-man half-bat monster, looking more like an anthropomorphic bat with wings.

* ''Videogame/Fallout4'': The cover of the [[ShowWithinAShow in-universe comic-book]] ''Grognak the Barbarian: Jungle of the bat-babies'' depicts Grognak being attacked by a swarm of small humanoids with bat wings and oversized, pointy ears.

* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'': Kirk Langstrom was a scientist who attempted to splice human and vampire bat DNA together to create a cure for deafness, but instead accidentally turned himself into a monstrous bat/human hybrid with membranous arm-wings and large batlike ears on a distorted human face. His transformation rendered him largely mindless, and he now stalks the skies of Gotham as a feared predator. Completing his questline will have Batman seemingly cure him, only for Kirk to later transform and escape offscreen. [[spoiler: Additionally, if you revisit his lab after finishing the quest his wife's dead body will be missing and the words "Forever my love" will be written on a destroyed TV screen alongside a bloody handprint, suggesting that she may have revived and become a bat creature just like her comic counterpart.]]

* ''VideoGame/SilentDragon'' have a giant bat-human as a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere boss (it was briefly foreshadowed in the second stage, when a defeated human boss have a miniature bat-person bursting out from him before flying off, but that was never touched on until now). A later stage have you fighting two more bat-person.

** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials'': Scorpan, the BigBad Tirac's chief servant, broadly resembles a large batlike humanoid with a simian face; fittingly, his side is strongly associated with darkness -- their lair, Midnight Castle, is constantly dark and shadowy, and Tirac wants to bring about TheNightThatNeverEnds. Scorpan is also a case of DarkIsNotEvil, however, as despite his monstrous looks he's actually a pretty decent guy at heart and [[HeelFaceTurn eventually turns against Tirac]].

** ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': The khrave resemble humanoid carnivorous bats, with faces framed by winglike ears and mouths filled with fangs. Most are flightless, simply having two sets of humanoid arms, but some possess large wings as an additional pair of limbs.

* ''VideoGame/{{Nocturne}}'': Vampires are humanoids with bat-like features such as spear noses and elongated, winged arms. Humans converted by them, such as Vampire Brides, look more like your typical undead bloodsucker.

Not to be confused with [[Franchise/{{Batman}} the Bat-Family]].

** ''Series/KamenRiderBlackRX'' has Musalabisala, known as Fluffy in ''Series/MaskedRider'', a hybrid of bat and flying squirrel.

** One third of Genocider (Cerebeast in ''Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight'') in ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki''.

* Vampires in ''Manga/MonsterMusume'' are a bat-like race with bat wings for arms and it's speculated in-universe that their more "vampire" traits are the result of an infection that grew species wide.

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': "The Trickening!" features a vampire character named Nosferatu, an anthropomorphic vampire bat who LooksLikeOrlok. In an unusual twist, his wings are reduced to flaps of skin under his arms.

** He doesn't look bat-like ''now'', but General Grievous [[WasOnceAMan started out as]] a Kaleesh, one of a species of red-skinned humanoids with very bat-like facial features.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'': The Chandra-Fan are short, hairy humanoids with batlike faces. There's one (Kabe) ordering herself a drink at the Mos Eisley cantina in ''Film/ANewHope''.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'', member of the Animal Kingdom Pirates Batman ate the Bat Smile, which gave him bat-like ears, nose and fangs, as well as the lower body of a bat with wings coming out of his hips. In a non-canon example, Patrick Redfield eats the mythological Zoan Bat Bat Fruit model Vampire, which transforms him in a bat-like humanoid able to suck the life force out of his opponents.

** Werebats are one of the ''vast'' array of [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent therianthropes]] native to the D&D multiverse that haven't quite caught on as well as the werwoles and wererats. They're bloodsucking werebeasts who are often mistaken for vampires, and are largely associated with the ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'' and ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'' settings. There are also the shadkyn, evil cousins of voadkyn (forest giants) who turn into ''really'' big bats or batlike humanoids, and one of only two "true" lycanthropes amongst giantkin.
