Die Fledermaus

Die Fledermaus is a superhero from the animated television series, The Tick. He fights crime in The City. He is a 
parody of the DC Comics character Batman. He was voiced by Cam Clarke who also voiced Freddy the Ferret from The Barnyard series.
Die Fledermaus' costume is brown and has several bat-like characteristics, including oversized ears, claws on the feet, and a realistic bat nose with huge nostrils. He has Batman-type equipment, which is rarely used.
Die Fledermaus does not conduct much crime fighting. During a very short time in which Arthur was his sidekick, Arthur remarked that all they did was "look at fashion magazines and hang out at the diner." Die Fledermaus is a coward who usually faints when facing danger. His fainting one time happened during Proto-Clown's rampage. In "The Tick vs Arthur's Bank Account", The City's mayor notes that when the "Die Fledermaus signal" (parody of the Bat signal) is turned on, Die Fledermaus disconnects his telephone and leaves town for a few days. Mostly, he sits in the diner and tries to pick up women with his costume and lame pick-up lines. However, in the first episode "The Tick vs The Idea Men", when the Idea Men prepare to blow up The City's dam, Die Fledermaus was one of the many superheroes (including Big Shot, American Maid, and the Human Bullet) that rushed off to stop them.
