SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary One of the enduring conundrums concerning Batman has been the inconspicuous movements of his Bat-Vehicles to and from Wayne Manor, a potential giveaway to the secret of Bruce Wayne being the Dark Knight. However, in a recent comic issue, Batman reveals the method that shields the Batmobile's movements to and from the Manor, offering an explanation that resolves this perennial query.
In Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War - Scorched Earth #1 by Chip Zdarsky, Tini Howard, Nikola Čižmešija, Mike Hawthorne, Wade Von Grawbadger, Mark Morales, Romulo Fajardo Jr., and Clayton Cowles, a crucial revelation emerges regarding the elusive tracking of Bat-Vehicles. Oracle discloses that the mystery behind the seamless secrecy of these vehicles lies in satellite concealers positioned around Wayne Manor.
This counterintelligence technology effectively shields the manor from satellite surveillance within a two-mile radius, strategically concealing the emergence points of the Bat-Vehicles. The implementation of this cutting-edge technology not only adds depth to the Batman mythos but also plugs a gap concerning the potential ease of uncovering Batman's true identity through vehicle tracking.
While the satellite concealers serve as a valuable asset to the Bat-Family, there are drawbacks when it comes to tracking vehicles in the vicinity. In a scene within this particular issue, Batman needs to track Vandal Savage's movements from Wayne Manor. However, his own cloaking technology becomes a hurdle, preventing Bruce from pinpointing Savage's van, as the cloaking mechanism extends to encompass everything in the surrounding area.
Batman Failed to Account for Tim Drake Despite Batman's extensive contingency plans and meticulous efforts to hide the Bat-Vehicles from satellite scrutiny, it's surprising that he overlooked the link between Dick Grayson's acrobatics and Robin's similar skills, which Tim Drake used to deduce their identities.
