Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson shared his thoughts on the flaws of the Batman franchise's bat-signal, and some DC fans aren't too happy about it.Tyson took to Twitter with a photo of the iconic signal, writing that the message only works when it's nighttime and cloudy. "Just occurred to me: The famous Bat-Signal that summons Batman’s crime-fighting skills works only on cloudy nights -- and never in the daytime. Seems to me, a bat emoji sent to Bruce Wayne’s smart phone or even an old fashioned beeper would improve on this," the famed scientist said.

Twitter users quickly fired back at Tyson. One pointed out the flaws in his logic, explaining that the signal is "only needed at night, when he's out fighting crime," and that "during the day Alfred can answer the red telephone." Another fired back at him, saying he "must be bored." One more light-hearted comment teased, "Careful now Neil, you'll have the [Zack] Snyder lads popping off at you for things like this," referring to the protectiveness that fans of the Batman v Superman director feel for his movies.

This isn't the first time Tyson has upset DC fans. In an interview, the scientist said that Marvel is more scientifically accurate than DC. He explained, "Marvel wins that contest hands down over DC Comics if for no other reason that almost, minus Thor and maybe one or two others that I've lost track of, almost everyone with powers in Marvel Comics, those powers are derived from something specific that happened to them." Tyson has also shared skepticism about Batman's strengths before, theorizing in an interview that, in a cage match, Superman would undoubtedly defeat the winged superhero.

It might be a while until fans get to see if Batman updates his bat-signal for the cellphone age. Matt Reeves' sequel to The Batman is still in the early stages of development and doesn't yet have the green light to start filming. Because of this, it is still years away from hitting the big screen.

There are no official reports on who will star in the Batman sequel, but Colin Farrell said he'd love to reprise his role as the Penguin. When asked if he'd want to return to the franchise, Farrell said, "Oh my god, you kidding me?! It's so much fun, are you joking [with] me? I've been around the block man. That was an easy sport, I mean ... it was a joy."

The Batman is currently available to stream on HBO Max.
