Betting the flop doesn't make much sense to me, seems like a clear check call

Exactly, you said it yourself he's a maniac, so why bet into a maniac.

You want to bet into passive fishes, and check to maniacs.

He is a Maniac so by nature an aggressive player.
If you are not sure what to do, when you bet and face a raise vs him you probably should not bet. You said it yourself he is a Maniac so he is going to raise quite a bit.

Since you don't know what to do when he raises in this spot, starting out with a check makes most sense.
