History
The Bat-Glider is but one of dozens of personal conveyance tools that Batman incorporates into his ever-growing arsenal. In function, the Bat-Glider operates similarly to a traditional hang glider, except that the wing fabric is sewn into the weave of Batman's cape. Batman navigates the glider by angling his body towards the direction he wishes to move and by shifting his weight.
Batman has also used motorized versions of the bat-glider, which includes handheld controls and a short-range rocket booster.
Notes
Different iterations of the Bat-Glider have appeared throughout the various Batman-related media projects. In the Dark Knight film, Batman employs a Bat-Glider constructed of "memory cloth" in order to extradite a criminal from China. In the animated television series Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Batman often uses a rocket-powered glider in order to fly throughout the city.
The Bat-Glider is also a common accessory included with Batman action figures.
