A communication device used by Batman and Batwoman to call for help or coordinate crime-fighting operations.
Blend of 'bat' (the Batman symbol/brand) and 'telephone,' following the pattern of fictional gadget naming like 'videophone.' Created as modern comic book terminology in the late 20th century.
The Bat-Signal and Bat-Phone represent how Batman's entire universe of communication is branded around one animal—it's a masterclass in how superhero franchises create consistent mythologies that make fictional gadgets feel real and important.
