Batman's now-familiar vanishing act after meeting with Comissioner Gordon has become legendary over the decades in comics and particularly on film. Batman is summoned with the Bat-Signal, because Commissioner Gordon has some vital bit of information to impart. Gordon looks away for a moment during the conversation, and when he turns towards Batman once again, he finds that the Dark Knight has… vanished into the night. It plays as a rather unassuming moment here in Swamp Thing #7, but nevertheless, it first happened here rather than in Batman's own titles.
