Our Top Batman Gadgets We'd Love to Own
As lovers of everything Batman, one thing that always makes us fall just that little bit extra in love with the caped crusader is his impressive arsenal of gadgets!
Whether he's getting himself out of trouble or taking down the latest villains, Batman always surprises us with his latest top-of-the-range cutting edge gadget that are the perfect tools for the job of protecting Gotham City.
As a bit of fun and to help remind ourselves and you guys of the impressive collection, we thought we would rustle up a little shortlist of some of our personal favourites that we would love to own for every day (maybe not everyday then) life. Take a look....
Grapple Gun
Originally debuted on the silver screen in 1989's Batman, the grapple gun has certainly taken Batman out of some sticky situations as well as keeping him on the tails of those pesky baddies. Essentially a spring loaded hook attached to some special ultra thin, ultra strong wire to keep everything nice and compact, it can be launched anywhere and will pull you up and away out of danger.
Why do we want this? Well, imagine this...walking down the street and spot someone you'd rather not speak to...fire and away you go until the coast it clear. Social bliss! Plus it beast walking up flights of stairs huh.

Guest Post! The Caped Crusader: Yep it’s Batman...
I was VERY tempted to name this blog post âna na na na na na na na na na na na na na na naaa Batman!â because as you have probably realised by now thatâs how mature I am. But thereâs something about superheroes such as Batman that bring out that childish side to you. We all know that the idea of a man getting superpowers after being bitten by a radioactive spider or a man going around dressed as a bat is quite ridiculous yet weâre still enticed and get stupidly excited about this fantasy world.
Perfect example of this is of course âThe Dark Knight Risesâ which is the third and final instalment of Christopher Nolanâs Batman trilogy.
Iâve never seen so many people- of all ages-get so excited by one film. It is definitely a buzz that only certain movies bring. After all, superheroes are amazing. Growing up I used to love watching superhero films such as Superman and Batman. Even TV series such as Wonder Woman and donât laugh...Captain Planet.
Batman is the one superhero that really takes me back to my childhood. Forget the films; I always preferred Adam West and Burt Ward as the Dynamic Duo in the TV series. I can remember watching the TV series during our summer holidays on Channel 4 around 1.30pm! At the time they were so gripping and totally believable. I never questioned the convenient gadgets (there are 100 flights of stairs and the lifts not working...oh wait we can use the Batjet which is conveniently placed in the Batmobile) or the fact that nobody could tell that it was Bruce Wayne as Batman. Who can forget the âBam! Crash! Wallops!â?
It was this cheesy side of Batman that I preferred growing up and despite watching most of the Batman films my allegiance was always to the 1960âs caped crusader. But then Christian Bale happened.
Man heâs beautiful. But forget his beautiful face for a second if you can...it was his dark and suave Batman that got me gripped. Christopher Nolanâs Batman was a far cry from the ones I was used to- and I liked it!
Batman's Run in with the Law
'Holy Cow!' even Batman can get pulled over by the cops while he's off to saving the world in his Batmobile! Well almost.
Swapping the legendary Batmobile this time for an equally flashy convertible Lamborghini, this caped crusader has hit cyberspace is week thwhen he was recently spotted being pulled over by police during a recent peace keeping outing in Maryland USA.
What a legend! Take a look...
The story is that this anonymous and wealthy philanthropist likes to dress up as Batman and give sick kids in the hospital special visits, when he's not fighting crime and cleaning up the streets that is!
