10 Pieces of Batman-Worthy Equipment for the Gear-Savvy Man

The Man of Steel may have otherworldly superpowers, but the Dark Knight defines the indomitable human spirit—a self-made hero fabricated from ingenuity and technological savvy (along with a bottomless bank account). In anticipation of the March 25 release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, RobbReport.com presents real-world accoutrements that even the caped crusader would covet.

ATN NVG7-3P Night Vision Goggles

Tired of hearing Superman brag about his X-Ray eyesight, give yourself an ocular edge with the ATN NVG7-3P Night Vision Goggles. While not able to peer through buildings, you will be able to see dramatically better in the dark due to its high-resolution image intensifier, auto-brightness, and built-in infrared for pitch-black perception. De rigueur for detective work, the $4,099 hands-free headset only weighs 1.1 pounds and fits easily over any mask.

Tactical ResQmax Kit 458 Grappling Hook Launcher

Spiderman may have his web, but who needs that creepy crawler when you have the Tactical ResQmax Kit 458 with grappling-hook launcher by Rescue Solutions International. Perfect for scaling the walls of Arkham Asylum or any other sinister stronghold, the comprehensive collection includes a titanium grappling hook (safety-rated for 730 pounds) with sound-reductive coating; a 7 mm climbing line (tested to 5,780 pounds); a 50-foot tactical ladder; a launcher; and three payloads so you can shoot, secure, and ascend in superhero style. The covert climbing system is priced at $4,310.

Taser X26P

Batman may not carry conventional firepower, but he can still pack heat. The law-enforcement-issue Taser X26P is the next generation of electrical smart weapons designed to paralyze perpetrators through nonlethal force. Built on a digital platform, the high-tech deterrent regulates charge output and records an array of diagnostic data including how and when it is used. The pulsatory pistol is also ergonomically designed, compact and easily concealable, and does not require replacement cartridges.

The Taser X26P is priced at $1,043 (with battery and holster) and, as with any quality crime-fighting accessory, fits on a utility belt.

ODG R-7 Smart Glasses

Doubling as a playboy billionaire and caped-crusader can be a multitask monster. From social engagements and business meetings to guiding gadget development and thwarting thugs, organization must be optimized. The R-7 Smart Glasses from Osterhout Design Group (ODG) help keep your eye on top priorities by providing a tablet at your temples. A high-definition, 65-inch screen with 3-D stereoscopic display is paired with the personal-computing prowess of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 2.7 GHz Quad-core processor and Android operating system.

Visuals can be showcased either as see-through or fully immersive presentations and are complemented by hands-free operation, haptic feedback, and a full-range stereo audio system. And the glasses geo-location function gives your exact position and any needed directions—especially useful when trying to capture crooks. ODG’s opulent optics are priced at $2,750.

Force Training Institute’s Multi-Threat Shield

The Batsuit may be bulletproof, but businessman Bruce Wayne is not. As a targeted corporate titan, he needs Force Training Institute’s Multi-Threat Shield, a 3-foot-long ballistic barrier that folds up to look like a portable computer’s carrying case.

Made from 1680-denier nylon and one-piece laminated Kevlar, the 8-pound pad deploys in seconds with a single wrist motion and can successfully block rounds from many handguns (including a .44 Magnum), shot guns, and pistol-caliber submachine guns (an optional insert guards against high-powered rifles). The defensive drapery also withstands knife and blunt force attacks. In addition, an expandable utility pouch that can actually fit a laptop makes it both a practical and tactical tote. The Multi-Threat Shield is priced at $899.00.

Ronin Motorcycle

A bike Lucius Fox would love, the 130 hp Ronin Motorcycle from Ronin Motor Works is built using Harley-Davidson’s defunct Buell 1125 model as a base. Powered by a high-performance Rotax engine, the stealth road rocket is given its action-hero aesthetic by the distinctive linkage fork that is also responsible for the bike’s visually striking stance.

The mod machine comprises a customized CNC-machined and TIG-welded, tubular subframe; a cast-aluminum tail section; an injection-molded polymer seat pan; free-flow intake and exhaust systems; and top-tier electronics and computer componentry. Other than the front-mounted radiator that lends a Bane-like appearance, the two-wheeled wonder has all the nuances of the Dark Knight himself and would definitely be his ride. With a starting price of $38,000, only 47 examples will be made, spaced over seven releases.

Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce

A raging bull for the Batcave, the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce is a mechanized ninja—light, agile, and powerful. With a 750 hp V-12 engine (generating 507 ft lbs of torque) the 4-wheel-drive Lambo lunges from zero to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds and travels at a top speed of 217 mph.

Displaying the marque’s signature sleek lines and aerodynamic details, the model features carbon-fiber monocoque construction (with aluminum front and rear frames) and a mindfully minimal yet elegant cockpit. Precise handling is provided by the combination of its 7-speed ISR gearbox, magneto-rheological suspension, and Lamborghini Dynamic Steering with three driving modes (Strada, Sport, and Corsa). Available since last summer, the Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce has a starting price of $489,600—and yes, Bruce, it comes in black.
