[edit] History
This high-tech Batsuit was developed presumably to compensate for Bruce Wayne's advancing age. It was eventually passed on to Terry McGinnis when he assumed the mantle of the Batman.[2] The Suit was over 20 years old when Terry became Gotham's new savior; however, its technology was so advanced that the Suit was still considered state of the art. By the time Terry met Amanda Waller, he was still wearing this Suit.[3]
It is largely unknown what Bruce used to build the Suit, except that he got its servo-motors from Dr. Peter Corso.[4] Bruce combined and incorporated most of the features and concepts of previous costumes and other gadgets into this Suit, such as the flight capability of the Jet Wing,[5] batarangs with auxiliary functions, grappling guns, bolas, and retractable claws,[6] among other things. He also built in new features such as a cloaking device — possibly inspired by the light refractive polymer[7] — although, this function probably consumed a good deal of the Suit's power, seeing as Terry minimized its usage. With this Suit, Batman had more versatility, as he was less dependent on portable gadgets, as well as less vulnerable to external adversities. The entire costume was an exoskeleton of electronic circuits; however, it was malleable like regular clothing, able of being folded to fit inside Terry's backpack.[8] Moreover, it conformed to the size of its wearer, seeing as it was able to fit both Bruce[9] and Terry,[2] who had different physiques at the time. Its external cloth was also somewhat resistant, still it could be torn off, thus exposing the Suit's circuitry.[10]
One of the most notable features of the Suit was that it covered the entire face and had no cape, which was replaced by retractable wings spread between the inner arms and sides of the body. Also, the utility belt had been incorporated into the Suit. The boots included thrusters that allowed Batman to fly in the absence of wind. However, for long range flights, he generally used the Batmobile. The Suit was very durable, being able to withstand massive concussive forces, fire, water, lasers, and electric shocks.
Fifteen years after Terry first wore the Suit,[3] its design remained mostly unchanged, except for the compartments on its utility belt that looked like the ones Bruce had on his suit during his Justice League years.
