Negan's Bat

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.

Bobby: Yo, did you see the Walking Dead this week?
Tommy: Nah, man. Not since they pulled a Negan's Bat like that. Such bullshit.
