Bat-Signal
The Bat-Signal is a distress signal device appearing in the various interpretations of the ''Batman'' mythos. It is a specially modified Klieg searchlight with a stylized symbol of a bat attached to the light so that it projects a large Bat emblem on the sky or buildings of Gotham City. In the stories, the signal is used by the Gotham City Police Department as a method of contacting and summoning Batman to their assistance in the event of a serious crisis and as a weapon of psychological intimidation to the numerous villains of Gotham City.
==Origins==
The signal first appears in ''Detective Comics'' #60, February 1942. In the 1989 ''Batman'' film, Batman gives the signal to the Gotham police force, enabling them to call him when the city was in danger. In 2005's ''Batman Begins'', then-lieutenant James Gordon installs the Bat signal on the roof of the police department himself. The film suggests Lt. Gordon was inspired to create the signal after Batman left mobster Carmine Falcone chained across a spotlight, his silhouette vaguely resembling a bat.
In comics featuring post-Crisis continuity, the signal has several different origins. It is introduced as a new tool after the Batman's first encounter with the Joker in ''Batman: The Man Who Laughs'', and also during the "Prey" storyline in ''Legends of the Dark Knight''. In ''Batman and the Mad Monk'', Gordon initially uses a pager to contact Batman, but during a meeting with the superhero Gordon throws it away, saying he prefers a more public means of contacting him.
On ''Batman: The Animated Series'', the signal is introduced in the episode "The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy", though a makeshift signal was used earlier in "Joker's Favor". On ''The Batman'', Gordon invents it to summon Batman in "Night in the City", although the signal is also alluded to in an earlier episode.
