The Bat-Belt is a utility belt with many compartments, originally used by Bruce Wayne and later Kate Kane and Ryan Wilder. Both used for containing their various gadgets as Batman and Batwoman respectively.

Overview

The Bat-Belt consist primarily of a strap and buckle, that houses many pouches or cylindrical cartridges attached to its outside, each containing one of the user's various gadgets.

Batman's Bat-Belt

The Bat-Belt, like the Batsuit, was made by Bruce for fighting crime as Batman after the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne. Like the suit, it was completely black except for the bat logo in the middle which had some yellow.

Batwoman's Bat-Belt

While being used by Kate and Ryan as Batwoman, it had then been modified by Luke Fox. Later on, it was painted with a shade of red during Kate battle with Tommy Elliot.

History

The Bat-Belt was designed to be used by Bruce Wayne. Later, when Bruce retired and left Gotham City for unknown reasons, it was left behind.

When Kate took on the Batwoman identity, Luke Fox created a new belt. That was also later adapted to the new Ryan Wilder batsuit, after the disappearance of Kate.
