Batarang

myminifactory

This simple model of mine draws inspiration from the bat weapon called batarang or bat-erang.\r\nA batarang is a roughly bat-shaped throwing device wielded by the DC Comics superhero Batman. The name is a portmanteau of bat and boomerang, originally spelled baterang. Despite being named after boomerangs, modern interpretations have transformed batarangs into shuriken-like projectiles. They've become an integral part of Batman's arsenal, appearing in every major Batman television show and movie adaptation to date. Recent Dark Knight reimaginings find additional justification for using the batarang as a ranged attack (an alternative to firearms, which he rejects due to his parents' tragic murder) and primarily utilize it to knock guns out of an assailant's grasp.
