Added DiffLines:

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: For a good while, there were several alleged Man-Bat sightings. This has since been thoroughly {{Jossed}}; not only does closer inspection reveal them to be just birds flying closer to the camera than normal (making them appear larger), but there's nothing in the game files relating to Man-Bat. Four years later, ''Arkham Knight'' would eventually put the final nail in the coffin by revealing that Man-Bat didn't even exist when ''City'' took place.
