That might be true for the opera, but it is not true for the original
post.  The character in the television show "The Tick" is in fact named Die
Fliedermaus, and I have seen that spelling on-air (perhaps Americans can't
spell in German?).  I assume it is supposed to translate to field mouse or
flying mouse or something of the like, because the character Die
Fleidermaus is a superhero who dresses in a mouse costume with a cape (and
does indeed [sorta] fly).
