What multitool would Batman carry?
on: December 06, 2016, 07:39:46 PM
This has been speculated on a few times, but I finally have a definitive answer, and here it is:



As you can see, it is shaped like the infamous Batarang, but unfortunately the store was out of the model with the purple Knockout Bat Gas canister on it so I had to settle for this one. 



As you can see, it is the one Batman uses for assembling Ikea furniture for the Batcave on the weekends while kicking back a nice Batweiser.



This particular tool includes Phillips and flathead drivers at each wingtip and a bottle opener in the middle.  Apparently the designer didn't get the memo that all one piece tools are required to have a multi-wrench cutout thing and a hole for adjusting O2 bottles.



Since this tool has both screwdrivers and a bottle opener then there's a joke that could be made about Batman drinking and screwing, but as well all know, Batman doesn't like Jokers so I won't go there.



In case you wonder if maybe this really is Batman's authorized tool, it is an officially licensed DC and Warner Brothers product, despite not actually saying batman anywhere on the package.



This is really important to remember, because let's face it, if Bruce Wayne has enough money for flashy cars, body armor and other gadgets that allow him to play the Super Hero Game, I'd hate to face his legal team.   :ahhh



Still, it must make it a bit harder to maintain a secret identity when you put trademark info on the thing you spend all your time throwing at the enemy.  At a whopping $16.99 I'm not sure Bruce Wayne will be a billionaire for long, and buying things like this will probably ensure that I am never one.  You can probably find it on eBay for $5 or less, but I found it in store and decided to buy it as an impulse.  For less than $5 I'd consider it worthwhile, but $17 is pushing it. 

A lot.

Like, say....

Enough to put me in a nuthouse....

Like Arkham Asylum.

Never mind.  I'm leaving now....

I could see the Bat Dude carrying a Leatherman OHT or a Gerber MP600. Something where he could reach things pronto.
I knew my wife was a keeper when she transitioned from calling it a knife thingy to a multi-tool.

Very cool! I know people are being funny but I think there is some potential there, possibly a mod. Lots of metal real estate for socket cut outs, box opener, pry/nail puller, etc.

Never mind my comment. Just reread the post. I'm on cough medicine so  :facepalm:

And is not near anyone else so that there is a risk you are seen using/carrying something so smurfing ridiculous
