Assuming he doesn’t have a red phone line directly to Batman like in the old TV show, obviously.

    He is on top of the police precinct, which is not the highest building in the city. All he needs to do is project it against the highest building in the city: Wayne Tower.

    Plot twist: Gordon doesn’t actually need the bat signal to contact him. It’s there to drive fear to street criminals when they see the sign and think that the Bat is heading their way.

    Also Gordon prefers talking to the man dressed like a bat on the rooftop rather than in his small office.

    Batman actually maintains a remote link to the light itself. As soon as the switch is flipped, he gets notified.

    Cmon, his lair is a CAVE. how the fuck is he gonna see the signal anyway?? Does he maintain 24/7 surveillance of the entire sky?

      The batsignal has often been described as a way to instill fear in the criminals, not as the most effective way to summon Batman per se. Certainly Batman doesn’t just watch fhe sky all night long to wait for the batsignal to come up, he has ways to get notified without seeing it.

      I love the idea that there is IFTTT in the Batman universe! IFTTB, if you will. Web hooks ftw lol.

      Unironically, probably yes. Like half of all major comic book threats all come from outer space.

    Wayne Enterprises maintains a cloud machine so their spoiled, good-for-nothing, CEO can always see at least 1 cloud when he looks out the windows of his manner house. Batman should really do something about that guy.
