I will never be over the fact that this reboot was cancelled. Anyhoot, for those of you who might be unaware, "Golden Bat" is a Japanese superhero from 1931 (that's right, older than Superman!) who made his debut in a kind of street theater known as "kamishibai." After being revived for two movies in 1950 and 1966, Golden Bat was turned into an anime in 1967.
You may know it by its overseas localized names: "Fantaman," "Phantaman," "Fantomas," "Fantasmagorico"... I guess nobody could decide on what to call this guy!
At any rate, the anime was ALMOST rebooted in the early 2000s by Shinichi Watanabe of Ltd. Anime International Company (AIC). You may know Mr. Watanabe from various works, including Tenchi Muyo! GXP, Lupin III: Da Capo of Love: Fujiko’s Unlucky Days, Sket Dance, several Shin Megami Tensei titles, and many more.
The reboot got as far as releasing a hyped-up trailer for the Golden Bat's return, but then things went silent. The copyright is still owned by AIC, though, so who knows--maybe we'll be surprised in 2017, the 50-year anniversary of the Golden Bat anime! Keep your fingers crossed!

LYRICS:
Well, well, well! If it isnt Henry! Dont be such a stranger, old buddy! Its been so long since you came back home...
I know you’re seein’, but not believin’
A picture’s worth a thousand words, and look who’s holding the pen
You let me out of my cel
And all the ink’s run out of the well
I know you’re frightened, but hey just lighten up
How else ya gonna see the shadows in the corner of your eyes?
We’ve got a killer surprise
It’s our thanks for all of your lies
Springin’ from the posters and the reel on the tape,
A new dimension for us could be the seal of your fate
And all the years you left us rotting here
With nothing but rejection made us bitter and cold
(So give us what we’re owed!)
I got a million things to say to someone like you
Now answer to all of your selfish deeds
We are the ones you left behind, you put us out of mind
You can’t rewind, it’s far too late for that now
Now the ink is running faster, say your prayers and hope you’ll last
Cuz it’s a Hell of a show,
And you’re in the front row
Oh Henry WELCOME HOME!
You’ve been away for far too long
No longer sketches, distorted wretches
How could so much have happened since you left so long ago
Well, buddy dontcha know
You’re gonna reap what you have sown
Maybe if you blink you’ll see it’s all in your head
But while your eyes are closed, you might just wind up dead
So make a choice and hope that I don’t hear your voice cuz I’m a-comin,
its the end of the line
(You can’t erase this time!)
I got a million memories of agony and pain
Sent down the drain like all the other drafts
Ya thought you really got away but now it’s time to pay
It’s Judgement Day; I’ll have the final laugh
Now the ink is running faster, say your prayers and hope you’ll last
Cuz it’s a Hell of a show,
And you’re in the front row
Oh Henry WELCOME HOME!
You’ve been away for far too long
And now as the curtains finally close
You’ll see the result of what you chose
Did it have to go this way?
Maybe if you’d only stayed
All this tragedy could have been prevented, but
Springin’ from the posters and the reel on the tape,
A new dimension for us could be the seal of your fate
And all the years you left us rotting here
With nothing but rejection made us bitter and cold
(Now give us what we’re owed!)
I got a million things to say to someone like you
Now answer to all of your selfish deeds
We are the ones you left behind, you put us out of mind
You can’t rewind, it’s far too late for that now
Now the ink is running faster, say your prayers and hope you’ll last
Cuz it’s a Hell of a show,
And you’re in the front row
Oh Henry WELCOME HOME!
You’ve been away for far too long
WELCOME HOME!
You’ve been away for far too long
WELCOME HOME!
You’ve been away for far too long!
