This bright red phone was designed after a similar phone in Batman. It’s the phone that the police commissioner used to phone Batman when there was trouble in Gotham City.
It has a blinking red light and your choice of buzzer or ringer when someone calls. There is no caller ID and no way to dial out so it would be great to put these all over your mansion so your victims, er friends, couldn’t call 911.
Then again, if you’re like me, you have more calls coming in than you do going out, so it would be great for that as well. Sadly these things aren’t cheap, which seems a little backwards considering how basic it is, but its $112 if you want one.

The $112 price is not so “backwards” if you consider that the phone is assembled in the USA, not in China; and it’s assembled by human beings, not by robots; and it has a two-year warranty, not 90 days; and the price includes shipping — even to Alaska or Hawaii.
Even if the phone dies at the end of the two-year warranty, it would only have cost about 15 cents a day, and you get a lot of fun for the money.
You don’t have to be Bruce Wayne to afford it.
Price is a little high, but it should’ve had bluetooth…….. so you could use it with your cell….. or put the dial on the underside…
