Batman is generally not seen in daylight hours. If he ever is, shit is truly going down. However, there is an exception to the rule and the other Bats fall under the rule as well. It all started when Gordon was walking Bats through the follow up after a child trafficking ring and discussing the upcoming case. Gordon admits that the kids have to testify in person and whilst their abusers won't be in the room, they're still afraid and reluctant. Batman was quiet for a long while before asking if he could sit in the courtroom. He won't interfere or anything that will jeopardise the case, he will just sit where the kids can see him? So they know they're going to be safe? And it works. Bats does it a few times and sometimes, if the kids or victims ask, they can have Nightwing or Robin or Batgirl or Spoiler or Red Robin, some kids even want Red Hood because he's bigger and tougher than the people that hurt them. You will never see the Bats arrive and after the trial is over, you won't find Batman or his Bats lingering. They simply appear and vanish.

I love whenever Jim Gordon is like a noir cop: he's smoking his cigarette, he's drinking a glass of bourbon, he's cheating on his wife, and then here comes batman ruining everything and now he's in a cape comic
