We’ve all seen our fair share of grapple hooks in different media, from Assassin’s Creed video games to the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animation and Batman: The Animated Series. The Bat-Grapple allows our masked billionaire to quickly scale buildings, launch himself upwards and into a glide, and tie up some of Gotham’s baddies, letting them hang for interrogation purposes.
In fact, Batman has used his Grapple as means of transportation, tactical engagement, interrogation, and sometimes, just for show. It’s interesting to see Batman reaching for his Utility Belt, and disappearing in a flash and smoke provided by the Smoke Pellets, relying on his Bat-Grapple as means of escape.
