As part of his vow to seek justice for his parents' murders, Batman would never use a gun. Batman's utility belt is an unassuming source of solutions to any problem. The belt is merely a complement. Batman relies on his mind first. He passed this tradition onto his partner, Robin. After ending the Dynamic Duo, Robin modified his arsenal to his namesake.
Batman's most famous weapon is the Batarang, the fusion of the Shuriken (Japanese Throwing Star) and the Boomerang from Australia. A wonder of metallurgy, the Batarang is created from hardened steel alloys with heat-tempered, impact resistant ceramic coatings. The beauty of it is the Batarangs may act as short or long range throws and administer either blunt force or cutting sheath. They are also stored with relative ease in the utility belt because of dual quick release collapsible hinges. Robin's go to weapon are the Birdarangs.
Various gas pellets are used by Batman as the perfect distraction or deterrent. By breaking these hardened gelatin spheroid capsules, Batman can rapidly deploy flash bangs, smoke bombs, or tear gas. In addition to the gas pellets, Batman also uses Bat Grenades. The Bat Grenades are stronger in force and generate a concussive blast with a 3-40 second delay versus the 5 second delay of gas pellets. Robin adapted these weapons into electric disks constructed with polarized matrices of high energy electrons. They include a retardant, cyrokinetic charge, technology hacker, smoke, explosives, electrocution, and adhesive
While in South America, Bruce Wayne learned how to use bolas to wrangle cattle. As Batman, he employed the bolas as an effective neutralizer. The weighted snares easily entangle the arms and legs of its target. However, if the intended target has enhanced strength or other advanced ability, the bola has a limited effect.
Other items in the utility belt include handcuffs, tracers, grapples, a retractable staff, alert beacons, scanners, binoculars, and the Titans Communicator. Others such as Slade and Red X have similar arsenals.
