Batman's Cape Has the Perfect Use, Proving Pixar's "No Capes!" Scene Totally Wrong
Warning! Contains spoilers for Batman #150!
Batman's cape is more than just a symbol; it's a practical tool for stealth, hiding, and gliding. From obscuring a shooter's aim to saving civilians, Batman's cape proves its worth in various situations. The cape is an iconic part of Batman's suit, and its usefulness ensures it will remain a staple in his crime-fighting arsenal.
According to the iconic Incredibles scene, capes are an extremely impractical part of a costume, but Batman proves the rule totally wrong. Capes are, indeed, often impractical: they drag behind the hero and can be stepped on or caught on things, and they're easily grabbed to restrain the wearer. Edna Mode may believe that all good superhero costumes don't have capes, but Batman proves that his cape has a very real purpose.
One surprising use of Batman's cape appears in a scene from Batman #150 by Chip Zdarsky and Denys Cowan.
