World Wide Wrestling Federation: The Battman (1966-1969)

The Ring Wrestling, Volume 5, Number 2, May 1968:

To accomplish his tasks, Battman has come up with a unique wrestling hold. Naturally enough, it’s called the Bat Twist. “It’s a combination of three of the most lethal holds in wrestling. Once I apply it, it’s curtains. I use a three-quarter Nelson, a cross-over arm lock and a double leg-lock all rolled into one. When properly applied, no one can break it.”
