Basil is based off of Sherlock Holmes, so is Ratigan based off of a Holmes villain?
a. Yes, indeedy! ^_^ Everybody, say it with me: “PROFESSOR MORIARTY” ! Ratigan is definitely playing Moriarty to Basil’s Holmes. And like their human counterparts, they’re equally highly intelligent, equally egotistic, and equally determined to defeat each other–except that Ratigan’s intentions are more on the murderous side.
