Batman
- Bat-Equipment!
- The array of devices in the utility belt have also become more complex over time.
The simple coiled rope and batarang scaling equipment became a rocket powered (or compressed air powered)
grapple gun, the cowl was updated with night-vision lenses and communication equipment (using one of the ears
to house an antenna), and a device to attract the bats from the Batcave was installed in the heel of one of the boots.
The suit has also carried on different occasions a re-breather device, flash and gas grenades, explosives and a detonator,
lockpicks, a signalling device for the Batmobile, electronic surveillance equipment, a forensic kit for gathering crime scene evidence,
a medical kit, and, in early incarnations, a pistol in a holster. On any occasion where Batman anticipates encountering Superman, he has
also carried a Kryptonite ring given to him by the Man of Steel as a weapon of last resort.
