Additionally, if the suit wasn't capable of withstanding an impact and Batman was wounded, the suit would compress around the wound and stop the bleeding, as revealed by Robin in Batman: Arkham Knight. The benefits of that suit not only allowed Batman to be faster and more agile, but also allowed him to better tolerate the G-Forces applied to his body when he ejected out of the Batmobile. Lucius constructed that new suit with tri-weave titanium fibers, with flexible liquid armor with light mechanized parts. Lucius Fox then sent Batman a new suit that allowed him to use his speed and mobility without being restricted, but also increased his tolerance to impact forces. Once he was faced with the threat of the Scarecrow's attack on Gotham, Batman realized that he needed to be faster and more mobile out in the field. An example of the realm of darkness defending the realm of light - the aptly named The Dark Knight. Eventually the suit itself became a kind of totem and symbol for himself and others. The new suit afforded somewhat better protection along with being more flexible and allowed Bruce to be more agile so he could focus more on combat and stealth.īecoming a veritable tech armor that was designed to enhance and support his abilities as Batman, as Bruce's career continued, he evolved and updated the suit to keep ahead of the technology in the streets of Gotham, and used the resources of Wayne Enterprises to do so. The Batsuit was later designed into a lighter version that was made from a titanium fiber cast with Kevlar plates from the WayneTech Applied Science Division. A Utility Belt with magnetized holding pouches allowed Batman to carry his gadgets and other weapons that were nonlethal that he found useful. Inside the left gauntlet was a mini computer that was linked to the Batcomputer that was capable of summoning the Batwing, criminal files, maps, and was able to locate anyone in Gotham City. The gloves consisted of black ballistic combat gloves that had reinforced knuckles and were made out of brass and Kevlar, which also contained 3 custom made bladed fins in the gauntlets, that were used to block knives and other slashing weapons. The cape also had a secondary feature that allowed Batman to hide where his body actually was when he dealt with snipers, as seen with Deadshot at Blackgate Prison in Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. At first glance, it looked like a simple, flexible fabric like Nylon on the outer layer, similar to a parachute, but when a current was applied, the loose molecules realigned and became rigid, which allowed him to glide over long distances, Additionally the material was water and fireproof and the winged tips could be used to disorient foes in combat. The cape was a memory cloth that was developed by Wayne Enterprises that had been shelved and never utilized. Bruce also borrowed an experimental device from the WayneTech Applied Science Division called Detective Mode and applied it into the suit's cowl. An advanced eavesdropping device was concealed within the cowl's right ear that enabled Batman to listen in on conversations from a distance and communicate with Alfred in the Batcave. The "mask" was designed like a cowl-shaped helmet with a graphite exterior that housed Kevlar paneling, which made it impact resistant and protected the wearer from small-caliber firearms and concussive blows. The suit's boots were comprised of black combat boots that contained steel tips in them and ballistic shinguards that ended in reinforced kneeguards, all of which were made up of a strong reinforced carbon fiber/plastic material. The suit's lower region consisted of a pair of military-like pants with kevlar plating in the thigh area. The downside of the body armor was that it slowed his mobility and flexibility a bit. The undersuit had armor plates layered with kinetic damping gel, all over an impact dispersion sub-structure and WayneTech biomechanical support technology, protecting against slashing weapons, blunt trauma, and most firearms. The first Batsuit consisted of a heavy amount of kevlar padding centered around the chest area. He ended up taking pieces of tech either that he invented, fabricated, or things from the Wayne Enterprises facilities, and ended up "cobbling" all the pieces of tech that he could gather into his first suit. When first preparing for his war against crime, Bruce Wayne realized that he would need a disguise that not only concealed his identity, but could also provide adequate protection from any threats that he might've gone up against and make him look formidable. Bruce used this suit to inspire fear since he was already much faster, stronger, and more powerful then any ordinary human could ever be- it made him seem otherworldly. They stalk their prey, observe intently, then swoop in to strike. Bats are hunters, mysterious and unpredictable.
