    Ratcatcher -- Obscure Batman Villain

    here we have Ratcatcher villain of Batman. As far as I can remember he only appeared in Detective Comics once back in the early 1980s (comic book aficionados please help)

    I used a McCabe head and body from the LJN SWAT line, mask from a European Big Jim set, bear trap from GI Joe, not sure where the grenades came from, Klingon boots, the staff and rats are from CTVT and the rain coat is from Hawkmike.









    As always, "thanks for looking!"

    Peace, Love and Megos,

    Austin

      He appeared more than once but it wasn't anything substantial (I think there was a story arc or two in "Robin"). They bumped him off in "Infinite Crisis".

                          Nice! He was part of the great Grant/Wagner/Breyfogle run in Detective. Around the time Scarface and the Ventriliquist appeared. He did appear a few more times, as others said. Under other writers, he was unfortunately treated as a joke.
