Batsuit

* First Suit
* Second Suit
* Third Suit
* Fourth Suit

**The Batman Suits**, also known as the **Batsuit** are a series of protective suits designed by Lucius Fox at Wayne Enterprises. Their primary usage are to protect Bruce Wayne as Batman.

## Overview

#### First Suit

The Batsuits were made by Lucius Fox for Bruce Wayne's crusade for fighting crime as Batman after the murder of his parents. The first suit was then coated with a black latex material to dampen Bruce's heat signature, making him difficult to detect with night-vision equipment. Made of a graphite material, the cowl acts as a protective helmet. The cowl's Kevlar lining is supposed to be bulletproof. A manufacturing defect in the graphite used in the production of the first shipment of the cowl's components made its outer shell incapable of withstanding blunt trauma.

#### Second Suit

The second suit is all black with a bat symbol outlined with a yellow oval emblem on the chest of the suit. It comes with a bat-like cowl with pointy ears pointed upwards. A black cape is attached as well from the shoulders.

#### Third Suit

The third suit was made after the defeat of Hush. The suit was all black with a bat-shaped symbol outlined on the chest of the suit. It sports a bat-like cowl with pointy ears pointed upwards. A black cape is attached as well from the shoulders. In late February 2022, Kate Kane (wanting to be a hero like her cousin), stole the third suit and used it to fight five thugs. After Bruce allowed his cousin to keep the suit, Kate upgraded the suit. She added red accents to the symbol, boots, and belt, as well as a red wig atop the cowl.

#### Fourth Suit

The fourth Suit is exactly identical to the second suit except with a blue colouring instead of black.

## History

After Bruce Wayne became the vigilante known as "Batman", Lucius Fox created a special suit for Bruce fight crime, as well as to protect him from criminals and keep his identity concealed. At some point prior to 2020 but after 2018, Lucius made Bruce a new suit.

In late May of 2022, in order to show his loyalty to the League of Assassins, Bruce and Ra's Al Ghul broke into the Batcave and destroyed all the Batsuits until they were fixed.

## Capabilities

### Current Functions

* **Identity concealment:** Bruce Wayne and Kate Kane uses a black bat-like mask to conceal their identities, to keep their friends and families safe from harm.
* **Intimidation:** Bruce and Kate respectively use the suit to terrify their enemies.
* **Beacon:** An advanced tracking system was built into the suit and utilizes a beacon included in the suit's construct and therefore; can be located as well as kept track of from the Batcave via satellite imaging and uplink.
* **Communications system:** Inside the suit's cowl is a communications system connecting the suit's wearer to the Batcave via an encrypted communication line. The comms system can be turned off with the flip of a switch on the suit's utility belt.
* **Gliding capabilities:** The suit's cape can extend and stiffen, allowing the wearer to glide through the air as a means of aerial transportation.
* **Kevlar armor:** From the outfit itself to the cape fastened to the shoulders and trailing from the back it, Lucius Fox made the entire suit out of a military-grade kevlar woven with enriched carbon nanotubes of his own design; this means that in spite of the thin and skintight layering over the wearer's body and seemingly cloth-like pliability it shows when worn, the suit’s main fabric is nothing short of legitimately resilient.
* **Night vision lenses:** The suit includes night vision lenses for fighting in dark rooms completely shut in darkness.
* **Bat-Belt:** The suit contains a utility belt that stores many of the Batsuit's signature tools, such as a grappling gun and Batarangs.
* **Thermal-threading:** Due to Bruce and Dick going to Russia, Lucias Fox added "thermal-threading" to the suit, which causes the suit to generate a large amount of heat. It was used when Bruce fought Victor Fries.

### Former Functions

* **Self-repairing armor:** If the suit were to become damaged, it would automatically repair itself. When the suit was repairing, it would take a day until it fully heals.
* **Synthetic wig:** Kate added a synthetic red wig to her Batsuit a week after she became Batwoman so her enemies didn't mistake her for Batman. After Lucias made Kate a new suit, Bruce discarded the wig from his third suit.
