If Jim Gordon had a thing for crafts, this is the Bat-signal that we would get. The upside is that it can still be dramatically killed by an axe, but Batman has to be really close to see it.
All you need is some thread, nails, a ton of patience and a desire to summon Batman and you too can make one. It actually does light up from behind as well, so maybe Batman can see it from a slight distance after all.
Why hasn’t anyone tried calling Spider-Man with this sort of thing? It’s basically a spider web right? Then you don’t waste this on Batman. The right tool for the right job and all that. Spider-Man would love this. And Peter Parker needs some gimmick where Police can call him anyhow, right? It’s a cool piece of art, I just really want Spidey to have his own signal.

The crazy summer blockbuster season at the movies have arrived, and superheroes never seem to get old on the silver screen. I suppose a lot of it has to do with a form of escapism for us, where we do wish at times that we could eventually wake up with super powers one day, ditching our day jobs and being a general all-round idol to the rest of the world. Bruce Wayne might have had a tough childhood, but I guess he channeled all of that angst and bitterness in a way that helped society combat crime. While there is no way to whistle and have Batman show up at your whim and fancy, perhaps the Bat-Signal might do the trick.
