That's what I was thinking......

Batman has to be one seriously altruistic guy to drop WHATEVER he's doing and go kick some ass and possibly get his ass kicked for FREE......and why is it always at night they call him?  What if it's in the daytime?  And what if he's out with his girlfriend somewhere and not around to see the signal go up at night? I think the system needs some work....maybe something a little less dramatic like maybe a beeper?  I mean - like - all the bad guys KNOW they are calling for him when they see that......even when I was a cop we'd run code 2 (Lights only) to the REALLY serious stuff and kill everything a few blocks before so nobody is as likely to see us coming.....this just doesn't make sense.....I WANT MY MOVIE TICKET MONEY BACK!
