holy accessories Batman welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
Batman gadgets just get those wonderful
toys for this list we’ll be looking at
any and all handheld bat accessories
that the dark knight pulls out of his
utility belt
we’re not considering the belt itself or
any of Batman’s armor or vehicles though
number ten explosive gel first
introduced in the critically-acclaimed
Arkham Asylum video game explosive gel
has seeped its way into our hearts while
it may be a fairly new addition its
effectiveness versatility and
convenience makes us wonder how Batman
ever managed without it
sure modern technological advancements
have encouraged filmmakers and comic
book writers alike to give mr. Wayne
some serious noise but the explosive gel
is great simply because it so perfectly
complements Batman’s fighting style
he is all about stealth and the element
of surprise and the explosive gel with
remote detonation allows him to
significantly step up his game in both
regards number nine freeze grenades
Batman has definitely suffered some bad
video games over the years we’re looking
at you Batman Forever however with the
Arkham franchise fans finally got to
live out their wildest Batman fantasies
in the sequel to Arkham Asylum
Arkham City you get the freeze blast and
freeze cluster grenades too powerful
projectiles capable of solidifying water
into icy platforms and temporarily
freezing enemies in the third game
Arkham origins they were replaced with
glue grenades which essentially worked
the same way but sounded less COO you
mean the glue grenade indeed thankfully
Rocksteady and Arkham Knight brought the
freeze grenades back and everyone could
just chill maybe these will provide the
edge you need number eight
cellphones own our device beautiful
beautiful
unethical dangerous the common criminals
of Gotham are notorious for exaggerating
the bat-like characteristics and
abilities of the Caped Crusader at the
end of the day he’s just an incredibly
skilled man in a suit though we have
some seriously cool toys however in
Christopher Nolan’s second Batman film
The Dark Knight Bruce Wayne uses his
company and substantial means to turn
every cell phone in Gotham into a sonar
device essentially giving himself the
bat-like ability of echolocation on a
citywide scale select bounds Impossibles
on two floors SWAT teams farewell while
Lucius Fox may take issue with this
extreme measure on moral grounds this
ingenious setup proves essential in
taking down the Joker this is wrong I’ve
gotta find this man Lucius at what cost
number seven ultrasonic back vegan get
her downstairs meet me in the alley on
the narrow side
when in need of some series backup the
ultrasonic bat beacon has got the dark
night covered what is that
we’re talking of course about the few
thousand bats that Batman can summon to
his location using this impressive
little gadget when stealth is no longer
an option a huge cloud of bats allows
Batman to evade any number of armed
villains who never seem to have any way
to deal with this menace this tool was
made famous in the film Batman Begins
but it actually made its debut in the
1987 comic Batman year one
number six smoke pellets smoke bombs as
weapons from distraction for more
everyday encounters with criminals a
swarm of bats is probably overkill smoke
pellets or smoke bombs on the other hand
have been an essential part of the caped
crusaders bag of tricks for decades they
are small and subtle making them easy
for Batman to deploy in a split second
through sleight of hand the object
County on deception
powerful agents to the uninitiated
releasing a small but dense cloud of
smoke sometimes accompanied by a low
powered explosion these little tools
have helped Batman escape countless
situations with many specialty options
like tear or knockout gas they make
great offensive weapons as well
Mellisa sky
I don’t find out keep a lid on it
number five gauntlets Batman first
upgraded to his stylish but simple
gloves in 1940 with the release of
Detective Comics number 36 trading them
in for the trademark spike edged
gauntlets you know how I got these scars
no but I know how you got big
while Batman has been sporting these
gauntlets for over 75 years it was only
with the release of Batman Begins that
they got the attention that they deserve
their utility has often been limited to
intimidation and style over the years
and at a West’s case they actually work
kind of floppy in 2005 Ra’s al Ghul
showed Bruce Wayne and the rest of the
world that they were highly effective
weapons in close quarters combat
especially for blocking sores because
that happens all the time
number four bat-computer forget mac or
pc this is one operating system to rule
them all and it’s the bat OS from
databasing the world’s villains and
heroes to processing antivenoms and
solving riddles there is little that
this super computer can’t do Robin
activate the remote bat computer again
it’s come a long way from the punch card
computer introduced in 1964 and has gone
on to be integrated into vehicles Armour
and even satellite systems as real-world
technology has evolved I’m uploading the
footage to your subnet now the back
computer has grown and expanded in kind
always stay in a few dozen steps ahead
of reality croc and cheetah working
together that’s new
number three glide Cape regular and
flexible but put a current to it
molecules realign becomes rigid Batman
may not be able to fly without the bat
plane but his cape lets him navigate
this guy’s just fine
Batman’s cape when expanded allows him
to gracefully glide between buildings
Batman Begins gave us a scientific
explanation for it using memory cloth
and an electrical current but honestly
we were never really worried about
plausibility
the Cape is a silent stealthy means of
approaching enemies from above and even
if they do see him coming
it makes for one intimidating entrance
number two grapple gun slash bat claw
slash grappling hook
hold
the glide Cape is a fantastic way of
traveling downwards but it requires a
means of getting Batman to a high
vantage point to begin with
the grappling gun or bat claws it’s been
called in the Arkham series has become
one of Batman’s most iconic gadgets
consistently used in films animated
series and comics since its invention
remember when Adam West used to manually
climb buildings with his grappling hook
in the 60s TV show it may seem silly and
slow-paced by today’s standards but it
wasn’t until Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman
film that the now-standard motorized
grappling gun was introduced before we
unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions
and we have one dishonorable mention as
well seven minutes
never leave the cave without number one
batarangs good first try striking fear
into the hearts of criminals is all well
and good but striking them in the face
with one of these guys works really
great too since Detective Comics number
31 in 1939 the Batarang has been the
quintessential Batman gadget the Caped
Crusader has a strict no guns policy
resulting directly from the fatal
shootings of his parents when he was a
child this moral position often puts him
at a disadvantage against the more
gun-crazy rogues from his gallery but
the Batarang functions is a fast
accurate alternative projectile based
weapon when it’s used correctly over the
years it’s been electrified
remote-controlled and explosively
charged but you can’t beat the classic
50% ninja star 50% boomerang 100% Batman
