[DC] Does Batman also scare the Police?

We know that Batman uses theatrics to scare the more superstitious criminals, but what about the Police he works with? Are any of them genuinely afraid of him despite him working with Commissioner Gordon?

Some, sure.  It's part of being Batman.  It also helps keep the cops honest.

Most of the good cops are fine with him.  You know he's on your side and everything, and then one night you're talking about a murder case to the Commissioner and *Batman's right behind you and how the fuck did he get there, the window's not even open???* and Gordon talks to him like he was there the whole time, and he asks a couple questions, and you answer, and then you turn around *and he's not there anymore* and Gordon just says "Yeah, he does that" like it happens all the time.  So you just try to pretend like it doesn't scare you, but you know it does, and you know that Gordon knows, and you're pretty sure it scares him a little, too, but neither of you is going to talk about it.

Later, the guy who did the murder is found on the front steps of the police station, beaten unconscious, tied to a bag full of evidence, and you know, deep down, that if Batman ever decided that you went bad, there's not a damned thing you could do to stop him doing the same thing to you.

When Batman started out, there were maybe six honest cops in Gotham City.  Today, it's at least half, and the ones that aren't honest aren't nearly as open about it.  And, once in a while, a cop shows up at the hospital with a story about falling down stairs, and there's one more honest cop in Gotham.
