From Pop-Cult Guides
Killer Moth is a DC Comics supervillain, enemy of Batman and Robin, created by Bill Finger and Lew Schwartz, characterized by dressing in a spandex costume that emulates a moth and saving criminals from the police.
The original pre-Crisis version of the character is a threat to the point that he actually learned Batman's true identity and was part of the Secret Society of Super Villains. However, in the post-Crisis continuity, the character is reintroduced as a "loser" among the Gotham City costumed villains.
The othe media interpretations of the characters also varies. The 1960s Batman portrayed him as another eccentric villain like the Penguin or the Riddler; and the Teen Titans portrayed him as a resourceful mad scientist with a ridiculous weakness to please his daughter; but The Batman portrayed nim as a complete loser only worthy of being the coffee-boy among the rest of the vilains.
In 1995 there was an atempt to make a thread out of the character by turning him into a monster like creature named Charexes.
