It would be better if it hit the shelves in June when it's Pride Month.
That would be a great costume idea for a group of boys in the parade
I love the closed-circuit TV screen, showing a view of the batsignal in the sky.
It's like, the most inefficient multi-stage communication/alert system ever devised. Can't they just rig up some kind of button connected to a red light in the cave or something?
(Bonus points to anyone who retorts with "To let them know, Merkel...to let everyone know.")
I love the things that you notice most. I miss the reference. Where is it fun.
From Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns (the 1986 original): conversation between Commissioner Gordon and his deputy, Merkel, on the roof of the Gotham police station.
(I’m not sure, but I think that location, the way Miller conceived and drew it, was the inspiration for all those scenes in the Nolan movies, with Gary Oldman and somebody else on that roof next to the enormous batsignal lamp — it’s such a great visual, and I think Miller was the first to actually set scenes up there.)
Anyway, Batman has returned for the first time in ten years, and Gordon and Merkel are pulling the tarps off the batsignal and getting it ready. Merkel asks, “Isn’t there another way to contact him?” (emphasising, wonderfully, the silliness of the whole thing). Gordon: “At least a dozen.” Merkel: “Then why, sir?” Gordon: “To let them know, Merkel…to let everyone know.” Then Miller cuts to a closeup of Gordon saying “Hit it.”
You turn the page and see the signal in the sky (or, actually, I think you see the girl who becomes Robin turning and gazing skyward, first, Spielberg style.) It’s wonderful.
I remember that scene. That is the point of the Bat Signal. Just to let the criminals know that the Bat is out on the prowl.
Lame rehash of the Super Friends Batman mold, which doesn't look like the Golden Age Batman, who had shorter ears and the capsules on his utility belt don't protrude past the edge of the belt.
