Batwing may refer to:
Batwing is a steel flying roller coaster built by Vekoma at Six Flags America in Prince George's County, Maryland. Except for the paint scheme, this ride is identical in layout to Firehawk, another Vekoma Flying Dutchman, located at Kings Island. Both rides are nearly identical to Nighthawk at Carowinds, however that ride has a slightly different ending.
Of the three Vekoma Flying Dutchmans, Batwing is the only one still operating under its original name at its original park, since Firehawk used to operate at Geauga Lake as X-Flight and Nighthawk originally operated at California's Great America as Stealth.
Batwing (James "Jimmy" Santini) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Batwing is a fictional comic book superhero appearing in publications by DC Comics. Within DC Comics internal continuity, Batwing is one of several superheroes patterned after the famous superhero Batman. Batwing, in particular, was conceived by Batman as his crime-fighting counterpart overseas, 'the Batman of Africa'.
The first Batwing is David Zavimbe, a Congolese police officer, created by writer Grant Morrison within the pages of Batman Incorporated prior to receiving his own eponymous series. Following later events within Batman Incorporated and Batwing, Zavimbe is replaced in the role by Luke Fox, an American mixed martial artist who had been Batman's first choice in the role, who is also the son of Batman's close associate Lucius Fox.
Batwing faces a roster of adversaries ranging from international super villains to the Democratic Republic of Congo's corrupt police force. Batwing expands the DC Universe by taking place in Africa, making David Zavimbe both the first (in continuity) black Batman and one of the few characters headlining a series outside the United States. Fox is also black, and becomes the first in-continuity African American Batman.
