With over 70 years of crime fighting under his utility belt, Batman's amazing technological skill has left us with a vast collection of interesting devices. Admirably, most have been customized designed to only tame his foes. But every once in a while, even Batman kills, and he has no lack of fatal gadgets to pick from to get the job done. And while the Dark Knight generally opts to combat his spectacular rogue’s gallery with less catastrophic effects, he surely possesses the power to permanently turn off their lights. Here are the best Batman weapons and how they work:

10. Batman’s fists

Of all the devices keeping Gotham in check, none are scarier, or fatal, than Batman's fists. Even without the projectile-firing gloves from The Dark Knight, these clinched instruments of wrath are enough to take the toughest of enemies down for the count. In his very first comic appearance, Bats slammed a person into a vat of acid. Ten issues later in Detective Comics #37, he one upped himself by striking a person with a sword. (Though to be fair, the man was wearing a monocle, so he very much had it coming.) Point is, if you have a death desire, look no further than Batman's fists.

9. Grapple Gun

Batman's contemporary grapple gun initially appears in Tim Burton's Batman film as a gadget allowing Batman to climb the roofs

Introduced in Tim Burton’s Batman, the grapple gun was a portable gadget capable of launching a hooked rope that enabled the character to hang from buildings and go far above the streets of Gotham. Batman had used rope in the past, but this was a lot more efficient means of moving about.

There have been real-world analogues of this device, but none are as efficient and adaptable as Bruce Wayne's technological marvel.

8. Smoke Pellets

This may appear too simple to be deemed a "Bat-Gadget," yet the smoke pellet, which is widely available to other heroes, criminals, and even ordinary people, is equally indispensable to Batman.

Batman employs smoke pellets as an old-school ninja escape technique on occasion. Even a guy renowned for his ability to vanish without a trace needs a little cover to leave a difficult situation quietly. Occasionally, he launches smoke pellets early, relying on sophisticated eyesight and rebreathers in his mask, or even simply his own ultra-advanced martial arts skills, to eliminate a big number of villains with little collateral damage.

7. Gauntlets

One of the many distinguishing features of Batman's costume is his spiked gauntlets, which have been used in a variety of combat situations.

In all of Batman's adventures prior to Batman Begins, the gauntlets worn on the character's arms were primarily for aesthetic purposes – an artistic choice made by the artists to make Batman seem more dangerous. Adding spikes to almost everything makes it seem awesome.

In the films of Christopher Nolan, however, they were shown as both shields and fatal weapons. They may be used to hit, slash, and launch sharp missiles against adversaries.

6. Kryptonite Ring

It may not seem like much of a device, given that Batman did not design or conceive of Kryptonite, nor did he form it into a ring that could be worn if a specific extraterrestrial superhero ever went out of line.

However, after Lex Luthor had already fashioned this piece of Kal-house El's into jewelry, Batman reportedly obtained the ring, having been handed it by Superman himself. This ring, concealed in a closed and hidden room in the Batcave or the aforementioned lead-lined bag so that Superman can't see it, is an insurance policy, a means of leveling the playing field should a fight with the Man of Steel ever occur.

Indeed, it has. The times are rare, but there is always something gratifying about Batman, the greatest man due to old-fashioned hard work, knocking Superman, the ultimate man due to an accident of birth, to the ground with that radioactive glow emanating from his palm...

Again, it's such a fantastic visual that it was adopted into an assault in the Injustice video game series, in which Batman is Earth's strongest line of defense against a rogue Superman.

5. Batmobile

The Batmobile is without question one of the most recognizable superhero vehicles ever conceived.

Batman's car is spectacular. It is without question the most iconic superhero vehicle ever shown or filmed. Like Batman himself, the Batmobile has undergone significant transformations throughout the years. It has served as a vehicle, a tank, a mobile crime lab, and a great deal more.

The Batmobile shown in the Christopher Nolan trilogy was one of the better versions. The name of this military vehicle was the Tumbler. Real-world organizations such as DARPA have attempted to create comparable vehicles, and there are unquestionably a number of military devices that challenge the fictitious vehicle's technical capability.

4. Batarang

There is nothing more recognizable about Batman than the Bat, and it is most visible in two places: on the chest piece of his outfit and in his hands as his primary weapon.

As with the Batmobile, the Batarang has seen several iterations. With its razor-sharp edges and bat-like shape, it functions as a combination of a shuriken and a boomerang, and is generally great. He has had explosive Batarangs, electrified Batarangs, remote-controlled Batarangs, sonic blast Batarangs, among others.

He has used them to pin bad guys to the wall, to cut a hostage's rope, to knock a weapon out of an attacker's grasp, or simply to take someone down. Attached to a rope, it transforms into a grappling hook; in his hand, it transforms into a close-combat knife.

This Bat-Gadget is the most elegant, the simplest, the most recognizable, and the most adaptable of all.

3. Batpod

Most of the time, Batman sticks to a rigorous "no guns, no killing" policy, as he memorably said to Selina Kyle in The Dark Knight Rises: "no guns, no killing." In Christopher Nolan's films, it is thus puzzling why he would maintain two huge master blasters on the front of his homemade Batcycle. Given his disdain for all forms of fatal force, it is puzzling that he did not remove the lethal weapons from the motorcycle, despite the fact that it was presumably already outfitted with machine guns.

2. Batsuit Taser

If there's one thing that The Dark Knight taught us, it's that you should never attempt to remove Batman's mask. On that occasion, one of Joker's thugs received an unanticipated jolt that caused him to cringe. However, given the appropriate conditions — for example, if the thug was standing in water and had a pacemaker — far more severe effects than a little static electricity may occur.

1. Kryptonite Spear

Batman develops a Kryptonite spear in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to defeat the invincible Superman.

This device is not so much a technological innovation as it is a demonstration of Bruce Wayne's inventiveness. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, after Batman is unable to defeat the all-powerful Superman, he obtains Kryptonite, Superman's sole known weakness. Batman, armed with a Kryptonite spear, towers over a beaten Man of Steel after a fierce battle.

Without Lois Lane's intervention, the Dark Knight would have no doubt pierced the world's most powerful being's heart. 

Conclusion:

Undoubtedly Batman has the coolest gadgets in the whole of Justice League. He has amazing weapons in his utility belt to incapacitate his enemies. I hope you found this list enjoyable to read, let me know in the comment box below if you think another amazing gadget deserves to be on this list.
