AsBatman , Bruce Wayne has accomplish many incredible feats . gravel up Superman . mark off ( check , ascertain , and discipline some more ) . Time , space , and interdimensional travel ? Sure , sounds like a lazy Tuesday good afternoon for former Brucey . But one of Bruce ’s greatest feats is also one of his most ofttimes overlooked . His Batsuit .

That affair is truly something to behold . It ’s not like you may just pop into Wayne Tech and just order up a batsuit . That would be ludicrous . Bruce spent prison term muck around and evolve the batsuit over years and years ( with many variation ) so as to , hem ,   suit his need . So allow ’s take some sentence to marvel at what a grown humanity can fit , and construct , into a orotund bat costume .

The Cape’s Defensive Capabilities

Of Batman ’s many iconic feature , his cape is , perhaps , his most iconic . In many of Batman ’s outstanding runs , the mantle seems to become a character in and of itself , almost alive even . But beyond storytelling purposes , Batman ’s cape is actually quite useful for a whole mass of reasons .

The least of which would be its defensive capableness . From stopping bullets to being completely fireproof , it seems like there ’s not much of anything that can oversee to see its way through the cape that has routinely stricken awe in the criminals of Gotham for year . denial is only about a third of the role the cape serves , however . We have n’t even talk about how Bats use it to flee .

The Cape’s Aerodynamic Qualities

It ’s coherent to accept that a material capable of deflect bullet train at close chain of mountains as well as being fire tolerant would be a fairly thick material . In any place but Gotham , that premiss would probably be ripe . However , as any condemnable unlucky enough to black market into the Bat will differentiate you , that same bullet - deflect , fireproof cape is also adequate to of carrying old Bruce from one rooftop to the next exactly as creepily as you ’d ideate .

It credibly would n’t have been as easy to convince the malefactor of Gotham that he was some sort of justice - thirsty demon if he was just walking around the street of Gotham like a fry on Halloween though , so perhaps we can slew him some slack . He did lose his parent after all .

The Boots

With the rest of his ostentatious suit of clothes being so … well , garish . Not many multitude to take the sentence to reckon how the Bat protects his little piggies . He ’s still got all ten , as far as anyone knows , so he must be doing something right . Well , like the rest of the batsuit ( besides the belt , usage Gucci ) , Batman ’s boots are a Wayne - tech archetype .

The boots are crafted using the same bullet train - deflect , shock - steep textile the residual of the suit is project with . They also have steel toes for stump those extra pesky baddies . Not to mention the secret hidden in the heel of his leftover rush . But we ’ll get to that later .

The Belt

Ah , the utility belt . One of the batsuit ’s coronate achievements . There ’s just so much jam - pack into those little pouches that even Batman ’s most superb acquaintance and foes have no idea what he may root for out of them . Held within Batman ’s mythical whang Bruce bear everything from a kryptonite ring ( for whenever Superman or any other Kryptonian starts getting too saucy ) to a fingerprint dusting outfit .

The rank volume of the bat - items would be enough to weigh any man down , not to name how he even make do to get so much into those tiny little pouch . Batman ’s affinity for naming things after bats shines no brighter than in the naming of some of these useful items with utterly ridiculous names hidden in this bang . Batpoon ( It ’s a harpoon … but , like , Batman uses it . ) , Bruce ? Really ? descend on . You ’re dear than that .

Electrifying Secrets

While any fan who has bring any of the recent Batman Arkham games is aware of Batman ’s electrified gauntlets , used to descend some of the peskier henchmen , the full suit of Batman ’s really has an galvanic shock system .

Batman is n’t criticize out cold very often , but for those few times when Bruce runs into something he does n’t expect or ca n’t wield , it ’s nice to have a backup program to keep that identity a closed book from anyone who does n’t already have sex it . But aboveboard , how many people live in Gotham could possibly give all stuff Batman cruises around in and wholly demolishes annually ? begin using that noodle , Gotham .

Batman Beyond Suit

As one might imagine , the Batman Beyond batsuit is by far the most ripe courtship we see sure-enough Brucey wear . In orderliness to correct for his aging and degenerate consistence , Bruce builds a case essentially do everything . Seriously , this matter is like the service program belt of batsuits .

It can do everything from camouflage itself to enshroud Terry whenever he ’s in a sticky state of affairs to wirelessly , outright , and seamlessly stream everything Terry sees and hears back to Bruce at the Batcave . This wooing is n’t just armor and cloth stitched together , it ’s an all - intention exoskeleton stark with everything a grow Bat needs .

The Eye-Pieces

For someone like Batman , who spends most of his night position fists in faces , profile is essential . That ’s where the Bat - goggles ( they ’re just goggles … but , like , in Batman ’s cowl ) come in handy . These electron lens can help Batman by giving him sonar , caloric visual modality , nighttime vision , anything optic spectrum a burial ground transmutation crime fighter may need to remain a few steps onwards of the baddie of Gotham City .

Much like we see in Christopher Nolan ’s Dark Knight Trilogy , these lenses can be upgraded and added to whenever Batman has another fabulously trespassing and virtuously refutable idea . But as Lucious Fox teach Bruce , with great magnate comes capital duty . await . bear on a 2d …

The Armor

The actual armor of the batsuit seems to be almost magical . There ’s not much that the batsuit ca n’t do by at one stop or another . Everything from bullets and knives to some of the more specialized risks like extra armour in the back , just in case Bane have any ideas about rebreaking the chiropteran .

Batman obviously has about as many lawsuit mutant as someone like Iron Man , but we do fuck that sure sacrifices must be made in order of magnitude to make a suit for whatever Batman may want at the consequence . Bruce may have enough money to bribe it all , but he still has to sacrifice protection for mobility and vice versa . That ’s just how it works .

The Gauntlets

It ’s astounding how many function Bruce seems to pack every individual item of his costume with , even something like a pair of gantlet suffice both offensive and defensive purpose . We already mentioned that Bruce has fitted each gauntlet with a nonlethal taser to pile an supernumerary wallop in his punch when he ask it , but beyond that , they serve as armour protecting his hands from sharp objects .

The fins move up the sides of his arms also service multiple purposes . They are not only adequate to of stopping a katana , but chop it to bit , and can potentially be fired as projectiles from Batman ’s arms . While they can chop a katana to small-arm they are , apparently , nonlethal when fired at humankind .

The (Real) Bat Signal

Many multitude may hear the bat signal and straight off opine of the spotlight on the cap of the GCPD building , which is a shame because there is by all odds a much more telling bat signal . Hidden in the heel of Batman ’s left-hand boot is the equipment that lift Batman to mythical level in Gotham . Sure , dress up like a squash racquet and beat up felon in the middle of the night is scarey behavior .

Yeah , disappearing group of henchman before anyone is the wiser is very coolheaded and creepy-crawly . But it ’s a small supersonic machine , that seemingly summons all of the bat , that brings the Bat into fabled territory here . What is this frequency ? Where do all of these bats come from ? There ’s just so many doubt .
