This is why we don't see new 007 films. We know how the nukes get into the hands of the eccentric billionaires. Spies are obsolete.

Did you know that the software suite, the client end of the system sold to both police and militaries, to feed them realtime 'battlespace' info...

You know its literally called GOTHAM, right?

Like, as in the system that Lucius Fox destroys, after Batman uses it, the single time, to find the Joker, because it is such an enormous moral atrocity?

... and I thought my jokes were bad.

I'm pretty sure it was never named in Nolan's movies other than "sonar device" and a similar device exists in the comics but it's called Echo and that's post Nolan's movie.

Gotham is also just another name for NYC.

IIRC the movie uses sonar as an analogy, not the literal mechanism.

... the ... analagous literal mechanism would now be how WiFi itself can be used to map environments and movement within them, kinda like sonar.

Nah. You think new spy tech gets released in a movie? You saw Taken 3 and thought that shit was real (honestly haven't seen any taken movies)
