HISTORY
The second Dark Rider appears to be a demonic force of some kind that possesses Stanley Baumgarten, a seemingly-ordinary man who suffers from undiagnosable sleep disorders. If he is denied his medications, then by night his body and mind are taken over by the Dark Rider, a powerful being who rides a spectral horse and wields an electrical lance.
This Dark Rider claims to have killed the previous owner of that name and had last been appearing in Blüdhaven, one of many villains to take up Penguin's contract on Robin's life.
