I’m reading the novelization of The Dark Knight Rises, and hit this moment. I don’t think this comment (to Blake’s question of how he always seemed to know exactly where his friends were) from Batman was in the film, but it should have been.



From page 345.

Blake was impressed, and slightly confused, by how Batman had shown up just in time to save him. “And you always seem to know where those people are. How is that?”

“I lost someone once,” Batman said. A hint of sorrow infiltrated his raspy growl. “Since then I break into their homes when they’re sleeping and implant a tracking device on the back of their neck.”

Right, Blake thought, chuckling. Then he reached back and felt the nape of his own neck. Was it just his imagination or was there a tiny lump of scar tissue there?

He stopped laughing.


I wouldn't be surprised if this were comic canon at some point. This could also explain how Bruce was able to be in the exact café Alfred was hanging out in, at just the right time to let him know he was alive. Because otherwise, that's just some great timing since Alfred never said what particular café.
