A bat phone or batphone, in popular jargon, is a private telephone number for important telephone calls handled at high priority.[1][2][3] The term is also used to describe the use of more than one mobile phone, with the "bat phone" reserved for a specific purpose.[4] The name Bat-Phone was popularized by the Batman television series starting in 1966, when it was depicted as a red phone that Commissioner Gordon used to summon the superhero Batman in emergencies,[1] and as the red phone mounted inside the Batmobile, the car driven by Batman.[5] Technology journalists have also used "Bat Phone" to describe devices that are novel in appearance,[6][7] or have a connection to the Batman franchise.[8]
