THE bat is a nocturnal creature that is an inspiration for comic character Bruce Wayne to pick his alter ego, Batman. Just imagine a human superhero dressed up like a bat to strike fear into the hearts of wrongdoers - a human-sized bat. But is the world's biggest bat really as big as a human being? Verdict FALSE The average size of a bat is about 7cm in length, with its wingspan going as wide as 25cm. And the smallest bat is the Kitti's hog-nosed bat, which is less than an inch (or a fingertip long) and weighs only 2g.
