The Ratcatcher

The Ratcatcher is a fictional character is DC’s Batman comics. Originally named Otis Flannegan, he was once an exterminator, until he went crazy and developed the ability to talk to rats. Once a catchmaster, when free he runs through the sewers of Gotham City, herding his “ratties” and using them to wreak havoc upon an innocent population.

The Ratcatcher’s ability to herd rats and relay messages through Blackgate prison’s ventilation ducts makes him one of Batman’s enemies who can still cause destruction and problems from behind prison walls.

Although he used to be a catchmaster, the Ratcatcher is a character who values rodent life more than human life and he carries a cyanide gun when he sees his pets struggle. Not too difficult to see just how crazy this character is, eh?

Don’t go crazy like the Ratcatcher. Rodents, as carriers of disease, can easily infect a human with a bite, that’s part of why Batman has to keep the Ratcatcher behind bars. Use sticky mouse traps or humane mouse traps to rid your home of pesky rodents and the potential for disease. Not only will you feel a lot safer, but your home will be less susceptible to infestations in the future.
