I thought it was pretty obvious that the batwing demons are under gwyndolin's control and were under gwyn's before that. I mean, why would they fly down to personally escort you to anor londo if they weren't ordered to do so by gwyndolin speaking through the fake gwynevere? Not to mention the batwing demon's use the power of lightning, a power which no other demon holds, all other demons have the power of fire and/or chaos. The demon's spears used by the batwings were made of the bones of other demons, most likely the demon's that gwyn and the black knights fought when the bed of chaos was created. Thus the bones were brought back as trophies along with these lesser batwing demon's, who were made into guard dogs and given these weapons to guard anor londo which were imbued with gwyn's lightning power. Thus why demon's spear has lightning powers, and why they take you up to anor londo in the first place.
