When Batman first started out, the whole point of the bat motif was to strike fear into the hearts of criminals.
Once Batman is well known among both citizen and evildoer alike, is that even a thing anymore?
At this stage, what is the point of continuing with the bat motif?
Rather than a mystical nocturnal creature of the night, he is now understood to be a non-superpowered vigilante -- or sometimes deputized officer of the law -- who simply dresses up as a human bat.
What is the element of fear, other than expecting to be pummeled about the head and shoulders and being brought to justice if you are a villain?
He might as well be Catman, Dogman, The Masked Kossack, or The Punitive Pugilist.
