[edit] Unsourced statement

Removed this phrase, until someone can confirm that it's actually relevant. Appears to be just vandalism (or sandbox-type editing). — SimonEast 02:55, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"Bat Boy is currently the President of the United States, has placed Weekly World News columnist Ed Anger under arrest and is married to Beyonce Knowlés--a half sasquatch."

I'm sure this has been resolved, but this, indeed, is in the context of the comic. Also, since Bat Boy is the President of the United States — shouldn't he be in the List of fictional U.S. Presidents? —Preceding unsigned comment added by DaemonDivinus (talk • contribs)

[edit] Merge the musical section

The excellent synopsis of the musical twice mentions Meredith and Dr. Parker having a terrible secret, but doesn't actually mention what the secret is. Can anyone help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.215.226.60 (talk • contribs)

No one has yet commented on moving the musical section, so I'm just going to do it. adavidw 12:00, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This looks like inane babble

"Bat Boy is a non-fictional character whose antics often appears in the pages of the Weekly World News.

He is a medical anomaly, half human, half bat. As a result, he is often captured by, and/or escaping from various tormentors, many of whom are scientists, or associated with the United States government."

Is it really supposed to read like this? 24.181.29.106

[edit] Cleanup

I gave this a bit of cleanup and tightening, but it could use more. A bit too much hyperbole and tongue-in-cheek style. Jokestress 08:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boy Bat

There's no mention of Bat Boy's kin in this article. There should be. --thedemonhog 02:28, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sourcing

Hi. Is there a verifiable & reliable source for the statement that Bat Boy is fictional? --18.252.5.49 11:56, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, this article is blatantly pushing the viewpoint that Bat Boy does not exist. Yet quotes no WP:Reliable source to back up this viewpoint. Dlabtot 01:06, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
The article should be neutral as to whether or not Bat Boy is a fictional character. There are many references in World Weekly News that he is a factual creature. If a possible fictional status is going to be entertained, then references must be cited. Macduff 04:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH. ehem. I mean. Of course, we should verify whether or not this is a factual creature. (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.6.51.86 (talk)

[edit] Is this serious?

I'm not certain if this page was subject to vandalism or if someone copied it from "uncyclopedia". The article is missing a few fiction statements... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirage GSM (talk • contribs) 19:49, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Batchild.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
