MASKS
There have been two volumes of the Masks series by Dynamite both of which included The Black Bat.
While the first volume was set in the time of the original character, the late 30's, the Bat in the second volume was a modern-day version. Neither got much face time in their respective series but they did appear on a handful of covers.
