Is there a trope for the thing mentioned on Atop the Fourth Wall recently, used a lot in older superhero comics, where a hero does something to announce his presence to the villains before coming on the scene himself? The video mentioned things like Spider-Man having a flashlight that projected a spider symbol on the wall.
