I was playing around with some Bats in Act V in the Glacial Trail, and here is what I dicsovered:
1. You can Taunt bats, but it won't always work . . . because . . .
2. You can't Taunt a sleeping bat into attacking you. (When he's hanging from the ceiling, he is busy dreaming of Batwoman jumping rope in a wet T-shirt and will thus, naturally, ignore your insults and jibes.)
This discovery leads to such great advice as "Never taunt a sleeping bat," a companion tidbit for "Never pet a burning dog." :D
3. Once Taunted, a Bat will and can go back to sleep if he bloody well feels like it, he'd rather envision Batwoman, per above, than deal with your manly sweat and flashing axes. When he comes back from his rest, he will typically return unTaunted. He is one of the few monsters who can, shall we say, "get over it."
4. The shocking attack is his standard attack, and as such is the only way for him to attack you, so Taunting will not save you from his l337 lightning skillz. :P
