Much in the same way Riker's Beard signified Star Trek: The Next Generation finding itself, and much in the same way Jump the Shark led to Happy Days' demise, Negan's Bat is a TV trope signifying an unprecedentedly awful cliffhanger, which makes no sense and leads to a butchering of iconic and beloved scenes.
Origins of this phrase come from Season Six of the Walking Dead, which ended on a cliffhanger showing a first person POV of Negan's Bat.
