The Great Batman Equipment Archive
The Great Batman Equipment Archive

This is an attempt to catalog everything Batman has ever pulled from his suit or belt. His utility belt is a wide, goldish yellow belt with a dozen pockets separated by hollow cylindrical studs, which also contain equipment. Most of his equipment is hidden here. His codpiece contains equipment, as well as his boots, cape, cowl, and gauntlets. It is held firmly that only the dark blue on his costume contains things, never the gray. Sources are Games (Role-Playing and Computer), Movies, Books, Websites (Official only), Television (the 60's series and modern cartoons), Comics, Scripts, and Newspapers. I only follow the Bruce Wayne Batman, or those that sat in for him. Near the end are gadgets that should have been Batman's, and last a comprehensive description of his ensemble, what it does, and where he keeps it.

    BOOKS

    BATMAN

  • Eyepieces: where his eyes should have been were two mirrors
  • Weapon: looked like a gun; shot a short spear attached to a rope, hung a gang member from 30 feet; hook and line latched onto a window and Batman shot up along the line; Joker notices a wire leading from the Batman to his skylight entranceway; bat-shaped speargun attached to a thin nylon rope, it caught on a catwalk five stories up and reeled in Batman and Vicki, but could only get them three stories with their combined weight so he detached it from his belt and hooked it on Vicki's
  • Costume: "The fabric felt odd between her fingers. It was like no clothing she'd ever seen, an odd combination of natural fibers and something that stretched like rubber, but more than that, too. As thin as the fabric was, it had density and weight, as if the center of the cloth was woven steel. 'What are they made of?' she asked when Batman looked up from his papers. He shook his head. 'It doesn't have a name.'"
  • Steel-toed Boots
  • Gloves: cloth-covered
  • Flash Pellet: flicked at a wall, the room exploded with light, like an indoor fireworks display. Where he stood a moment ago there was a pillar of white smoke

    BATMAN RETURNS

  • Speargun: drawn from a holster at his hip and fired it at a thug; it hits a brick wall behind him, but a sharp tug on the cord pulls out a chunk of brick, knocking the thug out
  • Computerized Batarang: he pulls a small electronic device from his belt, punched four white dots then a red, punches a second code, then a final button; wings sprout from the box and it zips away, knocking out five thugs then swooping around behind him to get a sixth; a poodle grabs it from the air and Cobblepot later frames Batman by using it to knockout the Ice Princess

  • Cuffs: he pulls several small cuffs from his belt and throws them towards thugs; the cuffs homed in on them and secured themselves around the thugs' ankles
  • Cape: he threw his arms out wide and glider rods snapped into place, drawing his cape taught and into place, turning it into a glider/parachute; completely enveloped in his dark cloak, flames were unable to do any damage to the fireproof material; he took his cape off when in the Batjet then refastened it to his armored shoulder plates later
  • Prototype Suit: invented a radar modification for a prototype suit, but it kept overloading and burning him; the armor was bulkier, the cowl more fearsome looking
  • Rebreather
  • Net: used to ensnare the frogmen; they tried to slice it open with their knives but didn't even come close to cutting through; Batman hooks the net cable to a buoy
