This just happened a few minutes ago.
Now, presumably, Adam West has pressed the button hidden on the neck of the bust on his desk, and he and Burt Ward have descended down two poles behind a book shelf and emerged into the BatCave in full riot cop regalia.

DC Comics/Time Warner lawsuit in 3…2…1…
(Don’t piss off TW, or they’ll cut off your supply of Guy Fawkes masks, guys.)
OK, can you tell us where that is located? What building? I’m sure it’s obvious to some but it would be helpful, at least to me, to read it in the text.
This is the best thing they’ve ever done.
Way better than all the knife throwing and needle drugs.
THIS IS THE HERO PORTLAND NEEDS.
BUT NOT THE ONE IT DESERVES.
Portland deserves the Adam West Batman
It’s a call to action. I get it.
While I appreciate the idea, I feel that if they’re going to recycle 80’s iconography for their own purposes, there’s a way more appropriate logo they should be jacking.

@BobR/#2, I think someone hijacked the lighting that projects the sponsors of the Pioneer Courthouse Square tree and projects some snowflakes on an adjacent white building. If I’m not mistaken, it’s even CHASE Bank. *giggle*
Batman is the 1%!
The Bat Man does not activate the Bat Signal. Commissioner Gordon activates the Bat Signal.
The Bat Man is the 1%, called to action to protect the 99%.
Dudes, technically Bruce Wayne is the 1% (he might actually be ALL of the 1%). I don’t know what that makes Bats.
@MUNGEN: IT’S ONE WORD. BATMAN.
This is stupid.
How long did it take for the city to turn off the power to the generator they’re using?
I’m really late on letting you all know, but the signal was broadcast on an apartment building on SW 4th and Columbia. I’ll post about it later today!
I would’nt be surprised if there were sliding and a pole involved between Adam West and Robin, but it probably is’nt what you think….it’s good to see that these work avoiding hippies…errrr Occupiers are doing some thing creative…not. Any message they had to impart I was well aware of long before you deadbeats showed up. You are just becoming annoying now
That is so, so beautiful. *sniffle*
Okay for you literal folks who are confused that it’s the cops who activate the Bat Signal in the Batman stories: A) In the public mind the cops are the established crime-fighters. B) In the Batman stories the cops can’t handle the Evil represented by The Joker, The Penguin, The Riddler, etc., so they activate the Bat Signal for our superheroes to save the day. C) The #occupy Bat Signal means that every individual Bat holed up in his/her own Cave needs to swarm out in his/her own town! We are the Superheroes ~ We are anonymous, and we are legion ~ We are peaceful, and we are playful! Love it!! #changetheworld
What a waste of time. Way to go, naive white libtards.
Way to go! Hi marks for Activism Brand Narcissism, and low marks for Affecting Change. What did this accomplish, besides maybe keeping some poor 99% awake in their apartment trying to get to sleep?
Here’s an idea, maybe next time do a spot light on the side of the US Bank Tower, and have it say “Switch to a local Credit Union”? How about that?
So glad the Blazers are playing again, because now all the protesters will be off the streets and cheering on their precious Blazers …… because you’ll NEVER find any 1%ers at a Blazers game ….. uh …. with the exception of the most of the people playing on the court ….. and in the first three rows around the court …….
