Bald Mouse Man
Bat in French is "chauve souris" which literally translates as bald mouse. At first I thought this was pretty weird, what if you're actually a mouse who's got a receding hairline? It would get confusing: "Oh look there's Michel, he's a bald mouse, not a bald mouse that flies & is blind, just a regular mouse that is bald, get it?" But then it got me thinking imagine if we hadn't invented the word bat, batman would be Bald Mouse Man, how about that?! Maybe we should get rid of the word bat & use bald mouse like the French just for that reason! Batman becoming Bald Mouse Man would sound a bit less sinister for sure, & might not govern the same level of respect in Gotham City, but I think it would give him a lighter, more humorous side to his character. Otherwise we could just create an actual bald mouse man character (as pictured) to rival Batman.
