Bat-Mirrors to Batpoon: Batman's Goofiest Gadgets

More about the flying eye:

THE BAT-EYE


Batman's entire gimmick is that he puts fear into the superstitious, cowardly hearts of criminals everywhere, but there's a fine line between "frightening" and "just plain creepy," and with the floating, bowling ball-sized eyeball and the unmarked van he uses to control it, Batman crosses that line pretty thoroughly.

The Bat-Eye is ostensibly designed to patrol the streets of Gotham City for crime, but with the way it hovered outside open windows taking in the sights with its unblinking eye, it was also a good reminder for citizens that Bat-Brother is watching, and that we have always been at war with Eastmetropolis.
