An expert boomerang maker has handcrafted a fully-functioning Batarang that Batman himself would no doubt be proud to wield.



Victor Poulin, from New Hampshire in the United States, created the 25-inch wide Batarang using the best 10-ply Finnish birch on the market - a type of wood considered ideal for creating high-quality boomerangs.

A Batarang is famously Batman's own lethal version of a boomerang, and has been seen in countless comic strips, films and television shows featuring the super hero.

In a video uploaded to YouTube, Poulin is seen demonstrating the Batarang in a snowy field near his hometown of Colebrook.

The Batarang is such good quality that Poulin hardly has to move to ensure it comes back to him.

Super hero Batman famously uses a Batarang while fighting crime.

His most common deployment of the tool is to knock weapons out his enemies hands, allowing him to take control of a situation without needing to resort to firearms, which the character refuses to use after seeing his parents shot dead by a mugger.

Batarangs were originally seen in the original DC Comics version of Batman, and have since become a staple of the superhero's weapons arsenal.

A Batarang has since appeared in every single film or television adaptation of Batman, with one most recently seen in Christian Bale's portrayal of the superhero in the 2012 film The Dark Night Rises.

The design has changed somewhat over the years, with early Batarangs having a stronger resemblance to the traditional boomerang, while modern versions - including those used by Christian Bale - featuring a more intricate design which resembles a Japanese Shuriken weapon.
