The Complete Bat Look Part 2



Batman's utility pouch, first seen as a series of gold pouches, has come along way since 1939. But let's just take a look at the belt between 1966 and now.
The look of the utility belt has definitely changed over the years but what else is different? Adam West's Batman was supposed to be corny, and so was his gadgets. Some of the cornier gadgets included sleep spray, Batawake spray, and (not pictured above) Shark Repellent Bat Spray from the movie. The gadgets have become more and more high tech and intense since 1966, curtesy of Lucius Fox. Batman dropped the sleep spray and picked up the grapple gun, taser gun, plasma torch, Bat laser, and Bat bomb. Was Batman becoming more violent, or were writers and directors trying to creatively keep up with the quickly advancing technology in the world? Truth is, as an unwritten rule between Batman writters, Batman's gadgets are not lethal.
