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.
