History

Although seemingly unremarkable in appearance, the utility belt remains as one of Batman's most important tools in fighting crime. Composed of a leather strap and a solid steel buckle, the utility belt houses ten cylinder cartridges, which vertically clip onto the outside of the belt. The buckle itself contains a miniature camera and two-way radio. A secondary compartment behind the length of the belt houses Batman's supply of collapsible batarangs.

Each of the ten cylinders contains various tools integral to Batman's war on crime. Through the years, Batman has modified, updated and improved the contents of his utility belt to accommodate various needs. The following list is a sample of some of the items that can regularly be found in the utility belt, but does not represent the complete definitive arsenal of Batman's equipment.

Contents:

• Infrared flashlight
• Infrared ordnance
• Smoke capsules
• Fingerprint analysis kit
• Forensic analysis kit
• First aid kit
• Lockpicking tools
• Kryptonite ring
• Tear gas pellets
• Micro-processor power source
• Micro-recorder (updated regularly)
• Batline spool + grappling gun
• Miniature Laser torch
• Bat-shaped handcuffs
• Various incendiary capsules (including plastique and thermite)
• Rebreather and gas mask

Notes

• During the No Man's Land period, Batman adopted a bulkier and more practical version of his utility belt: a workman's tool-belt. This enabled him to carry additional weapons and supplies necessary to operate and survive in earthquake-ruined Gotham City.
