I was just thinking about the explosive gel, and it occurred to me that there's no real way to trigger it, is there? Cause doesn't Batman just spray the gel onto the wall in the shape of a bat? Then he steps away and triggers the gel with a remote detonator in his hand. But how does that signal from the detonator activate the gel? Is there some sort of receiver stuck inside the gel that receives the signal from the detonator? I didn't see any. The gel itself can't possibly receive remote signals, can it? It's just this gel substance.

Has anyone figured out how Batman triggers the gel to explode?

I suggest that you get outside a little more.

Nanobots. Anything can be explained away with those little buggers.

" I suggest that you get outside a little more. "

Wow, someone has social issues. You are talking about how a fictional character detonates fictional explosive gel, in a video game. Seriously calm down.

Oi, you two. If I have to Flag someone because of bloody Bat-Gel...

You are asking about something so incredibly trivial and no real answer for. The developers don't need to explain every single detail on why something works. Besides my comment was a half-joke, and you suggested I die in a fire, so yeah, I think you have social issues, or 10 year old girl feelings one of the two.

I know shit-all about science and compounds, but I'd posit the guess that the gel has some sort of chemical trigger which responds to a certain wavelength - and the detonator emits exactly that.
 
It's most likely impossible, but if he doesnt place a physical reciever on the charge, I don't see any other explanation.

Its like this. Batman has nano tech, He has infinite replicating batarangs doesnt he? So inside his bat gel are tiny nano RF receivers mixed into the explosive molecular structure. When they receive the correct RF signal, the nano receivers modify their structure thus creating a chemical reaction within the explosive molecule. This causes the chain reaction which detonates the gel.

The gel contains flammable filings and the detonator sends out inaudible sound waves causing the filings to vibrate and produce heat eventually combusting causing the detonation.
That probably makes no sense just came to me after reading the thread...I like it for some reason.

I would assume that the detonator sends out some sort of frequency that the gel is extremely volatile towards and that causes it to detonate.
 
Or something. He's Batman, it doesn't have to make sense.

All these receiver-less solutions sound good, except that... well, when you send out this frequency to detonate, what's stopping the frequency from detonating the explosive gel in the gel gun?
 
And of course, we haven't even addressed the threat proximity gel...

The gun would have to be sound proofed like a studio..awkward

Why does it matter?

Dude, he's Batman. That's reason enough.

" Bat-gel works the exact same way Bat-shark repellent and the Bat-atomic-reorganizer do.  They just work. It's that simple. "

Why does anything matter? We're all just atoms being carried along this temporal stream of chaos... "

" It wasn't in any issue, I loosely made up the name from whatever the tool or machine from the Adam West Batman movie where he had to put the members of the UN back together again. "

I think when we are talking about a universe in which people can turn into mutant crocodiles, manipulate plants with their body and mind, and become stories-high Scarecrows through the use of special gases and drugs, a suspension of disbelief is definitely necessary.

I'm pretty sure Scarecrow didn't actually grow to be stories-high, it was all just a hallucination in Batman's mind. "

I ask a question about something in a video game, on a video game website... you decide to be a complete douche, and I'M the one with the social issues?  Fucking hilarious, you are. "

You think too much.

You talk like Yoda, so I think he may be right... Anyway, I try not to be too nit-picky about realism in my super hero games. "
