(Sort of the tick worlds version of Batman.) No way. He's a mouse. Besides the fact that bats don't look like what Die Fleidermaus (definite sp, I assume) dresses up as, there have been references in the television show to him being a mouse. Not a bat. Maybe they've been really subtle jokes I haven't been getting, but I assume when they say he's a mouse, they mean he's a mouse. And I've been a Tick freak since the premiere episode, all the way through the latest episode, "The Tick vs. Prehistory". -- I want to hang from the old creepy. (DA)
