Ivo Batic

Ivo Batic is a fictional character in the long-running German crime drama "Tatort", specifically the Munich-based episodes. He is portrayed by actor Miroslav Nemec. Batic is one half of a detective duo, partnered with Franz Leitmayr (played by Udo Wachtveitl). The pair have been working together for 35 years and have appeared in 100 episodes. They are known for their complex, sometimes ambiguous, relationship. Batic is newsworthy because the Munich "Tatort" featuring Batic and Leitmayr is ending its run after 35 years. The final double episode is airing around Easter and focuses on the detectives' friendship, with the crime case taking a backseat. This marks the end of an era for the show and its dedicated fanbase.
