Who is Keluang Man?

Keluang Man is a local superhero based on the fruit bat (keluang) and tells the story of Borhan, a mental hospital patient who turns into a crime-fighting superhero. The comedy animated series ran from 1998 to 2005.

Keluang Man also has his own Robin sidekick called Tiong Man. Together, they face off supervillains in Tampoi, Johor such as Badut, Meow The Cat Girl, Mata Batu Johan Hitam, Samsir, and Majid Kilat.

The character is created by the late Kamn Ismail, best known for his directorial role in Usop Sontorian.

Nineties kids will be able to recognize the show’s catchy theme song that was sung by local singer Krisya.
