"Christo and James represent the Creme of Comic book Dealers - the kind of guys I like to deal with across the counter! And I have!!!" - STERANKO "1st cover appearance of Ratcatcher (Otis Flannegan) (2nd overall appearance) Ratcatcher, pt. 2 Rat Trap The Ratcatcher leads his rats into Gotham and its up to Batman to uncover his goal! As he watches the sewer waters wash Batman away, the Ratcatcher leaves his opponent for dead, and returns to his remaining prisoners: the three other men who had convicted him of murder years ago. Against all odds, however, Batman manages to survive the flood. Though in ill health, Batman immediately sets out to search for the Ratcatcher's prisoners, with only a makeshift torch lighting his way. Meanwhile, an autopsy of the late Judge Hogan convinces Commissioner Gordon that Gotham's sewers bear investigating. The Commissioner sends several patrolmen and a sanitation worker into the sewers, but the policemen are quickly driven off by the Ratcatcher's rats, and the worker killed. Nevertheless, the Ratcatcher realizes that the police will eventually overwhelm his makeshift prison, and decides to execute his prisoners before making his escape. After consulting a sanitation department official, Commissioner Gordon realizes that the mastermind behind the rats must be Otis Flannegan, a former sanitation worker who'd claimed to have trained rats to do his bidding. While the Commissioner rallies a larger police force, Batman encounters Flannegan's rat hordes again, and uses his torch - along with a pail of gasoline - to burn them all alive. Subsequently, Batman finds Flannegan's prison, where Flannegan has already killed another of the prisoners. Without his rats to help him, Flannegan quickly falls to Batman, who brings him and the two surviving prisoners to the surface and into the waiting hands of the police. A weary Batman then leaves for Leslie Thompkins's clinic, half-jokingly passing up a fight with a stray rat on the way."
