* [[Bat Signal]]: Deconstructed<ref>though they still never get around to explaining what they do if there aren't clouds</ref>. The series delves into the legality and operation of the signal, and what it implies for the relationship between Batman and the police. Legally, no employee of City Hall or the police can operate the signal, since that would qualify as an official endorsement of Batman and make the city government responsible for whatever actions Batman takes. As such, only Stacy, the secretary of the MCU who is technically a temp and not a city employee at all, is allowed to turn on the signal [[hottip:*:<ref> Of course, [[Law and The Multiverse]] has [http://lawandthemultiverse.com/2011/11/28/gotham-central-in-the-line-of-duty/ since debunked this explanation, so back to square one]</ref>. The signal itself is eventually ''dismantled'' following the events of the "War Games" crossover (see [[Bat Family Crossover]] above) when the GCPD feels that Batman has broken the bonds of good faith between them.
