strange output of manpage

[NichtsHsu]

What did I do:

export MANPAGER="sh -c 'col -bx | bat -l man -p'"

What happened:

$ man rm
4mRM24m(1)                                                                   User Commands                                                                  4mRM24m(1)

1mNAME0m
       rm - remove files or directories

1mSYNOPSIS0m
       1mrm 22m[4mOPTION24m]... [4mFILE24m]...

1mDESCRIPTION0m
       This manual page documents the GNU version of 1mrm22m.  1mrm 22mremoves each specified file.  By default, it does not remove directories.

       If  the  4m-I24m  or  4m--interactive=once24m option is given, and there are more than three files or the 4m-r24m, 4m-R24m, or 4m--recursive24m are given, then 1mrm 22mprompts the
       user for whether to proceed with the entire operation.  If the response is not affirmative, the entire command is aborted.

       Otherwise, if a file is unwritable, standard input is a terminal, and the 4m-f24m or 4m--force24m option is not given, or the 4m-i24m or 4m--interactive=always24m option
       is given, 1mrm 22mprompts the user for whether to remove the file.  If the response is not affirmative, the file is skipped.

1mOPTIONS0m
       Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).

       1m-f22m, 1m--force0m
              ignore nonexistent files and arguments, never prompt

       1m-i     22mprompt before every removal

       1m-I     22mprompt once before removing more than three files, or when removing recursively; less intrusive than 1m-i22m, while still giving protection against
              most mistakes

       1m--interactive22m[=4mWHEN24m]
              prompt according to WHEN: never, once (1m-I22m), or always (1m-i22m); without WHEN, prompt always

       1m--one-file-system0m
              when removing a hierarchy recursively, skip any directory that is on a file system different from that of the corresponding command line argu‐
              ment

       1m--no-preserve-root0m
              do not treat '/' specially

       1m--preserve-root22m[=4mall24m]
              do not remove '/' (default); with 'all', reject any command line argument on a separate device from its parent

       1m-r22m, 1m-R22m, 1m--recursive0m
 Manual page rm(1) line 1 (press h for help or q to quit)

I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing.

Did you find a solution to this? I realize this is probably the same problem I have.
