#that the batsignal is as much a beacon in the sky as it is a warning in the sky

"but why should you want battinson to have a robin won't it have some issues translating with the tone-" listen to me. listen to me so closely. one of the defining moments of matt reeves's bruce wayne as portrayed by robert pattinson is when he says, out loud, of his own volition, that the one fear he has never conquered and will never be able to conquer, is the fear of losing someone he loves. it is used to explain why he acts like an ass to alfred, because he does love alfred as a father and is thus terrified of losing him and he never wants to feel the way he felt the last time he loved someone, when he lost them in front of his eyes in an act of horrific violence, and he knows it's not a fear he can ever make himself get over.

and now remember that one of the most famous, most consequential, most enduringly popular, most "dc keeps on trying to recapture the magic of it" batman stories of all time is when that exact thing happens to bruce wayne. he does lose someone he loves to an act of horrific violence that he cannot stop or prevent and it does affect him just as badly (even worse, honestly) than the death of his parents. and it happens to robin. jason todd was robin when he died and he was robin when bruce found him in the rubble and realized that there is something worse than watching his parents die because there's a word for a child who loses their parents but there are no words for a parent who loses their child. the thing batman as portrayed by robert pattinson fears the most happened to robin and it hits so much harder than he could have dreaded because robin is also his child. like, the story and the emotional journey that has been set up by reeves for his batman, as portrayed by robert pattinson, is almost explicit in the way it needs the robin storylines, begs for the robin storylines even. give us all the robins, all five of them, give us bette kane too i don't care.

Much time had elapsed since he’d last met The Batman. From his apartment window, he could see the crusader’s beacon wafting through Gotham’s dense smog. Though routine, the signal was something of a curiosity. As soon as the spotlight cut through the murky sky citizens of Gotham, innocent and criminal alike, lifted their gaze to wonder why the phantom was summoned. Crane was no exception.

In his pocket was the vigilante’s physical card, an email with which he’d exchanged few words. Though he could rest the black card stock in his palm, there was something metaphysic of The Batsignal that communicated a tangible understanding. On docks, in the narrows, on a rooftop — Scarecrow would cease his experiments and look up to receive The Batman’s message,

Maybe, Batman had finally recived his …

To cross paths with Joker, The Riddler, Falcone, Isley, and remain un - investigated was a feat of which Crane was proud, and yet, vaguely disappointed. His crimes were safe shrouded in the shadow with which he was fascinated, and though he had no desire to share the fate of Blackgate’s residents, The Good Doctor couldn’t help but wonder if he was too cunning to remember the thrill associated with scarecrow’s malversation.

For once, Crane wasn’t certain how to respond. His words had dropped into an icy pond, dissolving in shock — the silence of a nocturnal predator will never fail to try his nerves. He cleared his throat and shut his computer screen, squinting into the shadow that stood beyond his desk lamp’s illumination.
