   I think you should do more open letters, Andrew. If you have time to do it of course. I really enjoyed this one :)

   Constantly repairing that thing must take up half the GCPD's budget by this point.

      I'm sure Batman pays for it. He provided a new one to Gordon after Harvey Dent melted it with acid. It was kinda cool...he flew it in of course.

   Destroying the Bat-signal worked well in "The Dark Knight," but they really do need to give it a rest. Guess the same goes for destroying Gotham, right? Cool ideas, but both have been over-done lately.

      Yeah it was done once. The comics f'ed it up completely

   I agree with you completely, but I think that Eternal is using something similar but different from the Bat Signal. Read in an interview that Bruce's reconstruction project includes the Beacon Building (or something similarly named) that will be under construction and viewed in each issue until the finale, when it's complete and used in this scene. Now the Bat Signal could have been moved over there, but then there's the issue that it wouldn't be at it's rightful home, the GCPD roof.

   Am I the only one who found this amusing? And where did the drowning come from? I only read Scott Snyder's books (except for the Annual 2, Villains Month and the 2-3 issues between Death of Family and Zero Year). I can somewhat guess where the rest came from, but certainly not the flood.

   HAHAHA All those scenes were greats, they should just take more time between them, it's the same for Gotham destruction, it lost impact and credibility, but the storylines are purely perfect. It happen the same with the deaths, since New 52 started Bruce has lost his younger brother(long time ago but he knows now), his son, his girlfriend (by Mad Hatter), his lover (Talia), his friends and biggest enemy (Death of the Family), his partner (Helena Aguila). I mean, give the man a break for God sake.

   I feel like the Gotham is just becoming "the city of Townsville" always being destroyed at the beginning of the powder puff girls or sea lab blowing up at the ending of every episode.... You see it now and almost want to say "oh there goes Gotham again, being (insert disaster)"

   But that crucifix thing is awesome. I hope Batman Eternal delivers.

    You could make a longer list of times the whole damn city has been destroyed since the reboot. It got idiotic like a year ago and they've done it at least twice since then.

    This happens so often because its so important when you shine the signal there's trouble when you mess with the signal you know its getting ready to hit the fan.it is a part of our culture. so what do you think,would happen, this...is...BATMAN....every thing about him is a icon .why not mess with a icon.one of the great moments from dark knight raises is when at the end the comiss finds the bat signal fixed it makes you feel good
