Trivia

 * Batrider is occasionally referred to as "Batman" in game, mostly due to the recent popularity of Christopher Nolan's the Dark Knight trilogy starring Christian Bale and Gary Oldman.


 * His design might be influenced by the "Hobgoblin" of "Spider-Man". He uses concussion and incendiary Jack O'Lanterns, wraith-shaped smoke and gas-emitting bombs, bat-shaped razor-edged throwing blades, and gloves woven with micro-circuited power conducting filaments that channel pulsed discharges of electricity. He wore a shoulder bag to carry his small, portable weaponry.


 * In DotA, Batrider's full name was "Jin'zakk, the Batrider". In Dota 2, his name was removed for unspecified reasons.


 * After killing, Batrider says vo_batrider_bat_rival_21.mp3 "Hey Void! Have you seen Bat to the Future?", which is a reference to the film "Back to The Future"


 * Batrider's unused kill response "Scuse me while I cook this guy." is likely a reference to the song Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix.


 * Batrider's concept may well be based on Project X-Ray, a military strategy developed during World War II which involved using bats equipped with small, timed, napalm-like incendiaries to decimate towns (See Alexis C. Madrigal's "Old, Weird Tech: The Bat Bombs of World War II," in "The Atlantic", 14 April 2011).
