Background

Shigeki Birkin, better known as The Batman and Badman, is a character in the short story "Killer is Dead" and the Deuteragonist of the video game Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. He is a former assassin and the father of Bad Girl, who he attempts to avenge and resurrect her. During the events of Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, he and Travis Touchdown get sucked into the Death Drive Mk II, creating a clone of the two within the Game World. Shortly after entering the Death Drive Mk II, they meet White Sheepman (Also known as Dr. Juvenile) acting as, both the tutorial, and also the central character and major antagonist of the story. Forced to cooperate, both Travis and Badman begrudgingly work together to play through the Death Drive Mk II. Eradicating entire hoards of digital bugs, defeating each game world's bosses and collecting all six Death Balls in hopes to earn a wish, and resurrect Bad Girl. In which both would partially succeed, reviving her but only as a dog (Due to one of the Death Drives being a pirated version). Travis would shortly find the legitimate and final “Death Ball” after retrieving it from Sylvia in which they would defeat Silver Case. Turning Bad Girl back to her human form. As the final credits roll, it ends cutting back to Travis in a completely different area. In which Travis would remark to the player that both he and them are in “development”. Hinting at the sequel “No More Heroes 3”.
