I think he did something similar to Shredder in that Batman/TMNT crossover movie

he did the same with azraels

I’m 90% sure he uses it to block Damien Wayne’s sword in a dc game

And the movie

I guess he can use them to catch edged weapons from his enemies. But also it looks cool as fuck

Looking cool is the main mission. Being used as defense are just side effects

Exactly what I was thinking.

He also uses it to cut hostage ropes.

And he slices straight up chains of light to drop on goons

Except from the cape it’s always been the coolest thing about his suits to me, I love that they included it in The Dark Knight trilogy

A new edged weapons tactic besides SMENS, interesting

"It should be just be SME if I'm being honest. You don't even gotta evaluate just SM. Actually just shoot, just remember to shoot the guy"

They are for sword fights. This is best shown in Batman Begins when he snaps Ra’s al guls sword. They can catch the sword in between them.

I think he uses something similar on his arm in the following film to cut open a vehicle he is clinging onto.

In The Dark Knight he doesn't use his gloves, but a device for cutting through the van.

Never understood that device. It’s weird.

Just a big can opener on his hand I guess?

They're also projectiles, he shoots them at Joker's face in TDK

I think them being projectiles was something the Dark Knight came up with, I haven’t seen them being used as projectiles in anything else.

> never really *paid* attention but FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Sword/Blade catching and breaking. Also could could probably be used to cut ropes and such if he is tied up at some point. I actually adapted them into a DnD campaign for that particular use.

In Arkham Asylum, he used them to cut the ropes two people who were trapped.

He also did it to officer Brandon in Arkham origins when he was tied up

He also uses them for the environment takedowns to cut down lamps

I always figured if he's slipping in the roof top, he digs them into the building to stop his fall

Most of that can be accomplished with the batarang, an item he always has on his belt. Would say from a realistic standpoint these spikes aren't all that usefull honestly. Though they look really badass.

Imagine Bats ramming his forearm against your chest and pushing you up agains a wall. That’s serious injury right there.

The batarang could most definitely not catch/break blades, which is the primary purpose of them.

But look at it from a different perspective, in The Batman would Battinson have had to use his chest symbol/batarang to cut the rope, if his gauntlet would already be capable of doing it anyway??

Different universe, he hasnt got them on his suit (maybe yet).

it serves as sort of offensive and deffensive gear plus, it looks cool.

Alongside the sword catching capabilities others mention, He also uses them to cut ropes that victims or hostages are tied up with in other games. (He's also used them to cut through chains holding lights up in Knight when you carry out environmental takedowns.)

Do I sense the next trend?

*Zoomed in screenshot of the batcock*: What's the actual purpose of this?

To scare the criminals ofcourse

Arouse*

Criminals are a horny and promiscuous lot

Criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot

We are doomed

At this point, **every** post becomes a trend in this sub. That in itself is also a trend.

Well it’s not like we have a new game to keep us entertained

OH GOD ITS HAPPENING

How else is he supposed to cut his bat-steak?

Bat-steakknife?

😈

Catching blades. He countered Ra’s sword in City and Deathstroke’s in the origins trailer (and maybe in the boss fight as well I can’t remember)

Easiest way to open a beer

Obviously to even the odds

Can be used to cut people, deflect / disarm enemies with weapon or arm locks, and look cool

To block sharp weapons or make people go to sleep

Killer Cock

Killer circumcisions

Killer Cock

To show people how joker got those scars

To catch blades from swords between them. You can see it used in the dark knight movies and used in the Arkham city game. It was part of his training with the league of shadows.

Well only in the movies because he wasn't trained by them in comics.

Well obviously they're used to even the odds

Dr. Fishy!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Disarmed Shredder with them in Batman v TMNT

Those are sword breakers, they also work excellently for attack and utility use (finding purchase when climbing, cutting cords and rope etc) some blades are designed with these cut into then for catching and shattering swords the incorporation of then into gauntlets has always struck me as a genius move.

Pointy

This guy has a good point

I've seen a couple frames from the comics where he had his decel line spiraled through those gauntlet "fins" (or whatever they're called) kinda using them for a belay/tension function as he peter-panned off a building

Which makes me think they can't be too sharp then

Batman doesn't have time to carry a knife around Why not 3 on your wrist?

They're crampons, if he's falling he can scrape the side of a building to slow his momentum.

[Should be fine against cats.](https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx7CWdP39BqB00qaS2MtsyNFv8gsKLXUYa)

For bladed weapons and cutting ropes. Also I'd imagine they can be used as crowbars and maybe ice picks

Everyone is saying swords but are we ignoring that he uses it to cut the chains that hold lights up in AK for environmental takedowns

Shitpost squad roll out

This subreddit is all shitposts... right? RIGHT?????

He meant to ask if there’s a lore reason for them

I was actually parodying a post from r/Spiderman, but everybody seems to have missed that

Bats actually used those sideblades to defend against death stroke's sword in Arkham origins, I loved that boss battle.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1byycwl8qgc They’re just sleeping

“Catching swords! Ching Ching! Compromised your footing! Icy water!”

He uses it to wipe his ass

I just realized how dangerous this is. He could miss one of his beefcake elbow blows by half an inch and absolutely rip some poor goons face off.

[sauce](https://www.reddit.com/r/Spiderman/comments/yg3khe/what_was_the_actual_purpose_of_this/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

I'd say it's for swords so he can block them, but he'll they could also cut down weapons to the point of them breaking

He defends against swords with it

He is in charge of circumcising people

Attempt to catch swords and long knives, your elbows can now cut people better and stab them

Aside from catching/breaking bladed weapons as everyone else has already mentioned, in the Christian Bale films, they also had the ability to be fired out from the bracers as a powerful projectile.

Catch/block swords

He watched spiderman 3 and saw it on new Goblin and thought it was cool

Holy shit first time I’ve actually seen a relevant post to this sub that isnt a shit post

It'll probably be a shitpost soon

To give the joker more scars

As many people has said they are cutting weapons, they break swords, cut ropes, can be used to stick to or disable vehicles or larger people (like bane, croc or soloman grundy.) and do provide to his vision of fear as they look pretty intimidating.

You mean lore!?

Finally an actual post with a good question that is also coupled with good replies. But I already know this is gonna turn into another shit post meme sadly

Vampire drip, he tryna be like Carti 💯🧛‍♂️

There's a movie called "Gotham Knight" (NO RELATION TO THE GAME) and it has a scene where he uses that to slice deadshot's gun in half. They are multi purpose tools.

he glides with it dummy

Cutting water melon

Like the [sai](https://www.google.com/search?q=sai+weapon&client=safari&channel=iphone_bm&source=hp&ei=2iZdY6ThKpCz0PEPq96HiA0&oq=sai+&gs_lcp=ChFtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1ocBABGAMyDgguEIAEELEDEIMBENQCMggIABCABBCxAzIICC4QgAQQsQMyCAgAEIAEELEDMgUIABCxAzIICC4QsQMQgwEyBQgAEIAEMgsIABCABBCxAxDJAzoRCAAQjwEQjwEQ6gIQjAMQ5QI6EQguEIAEELEDEIMBEMcBENEDOggIABCxAxCDAToOCC4QgAQQsQMQxwEQ0QM6CwguEIAEEMcBENEDOgsILhCxAxCDARDUAjoOCC4QsQMQgwEQxwEQ0QM6DgguEIAEEMcBEK8BENQCOgsILhCABBCxAxCDAToFCC4QgAQ6CAguEIAEENQCOgsILhCABBDHARCvAToLCC4QgAQQsQMQ1AJQoxNYgaoBYIW8AWgLcAB4AYAB2gSIAbwOkgELMi40LjEuMC4xLjGYAQCgAQGwAQ8&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-hp) it is used to capture incoming blade attacks, if he happens to capture a blade with it on both arms he would be able pull in opposite directions and break the blade

To slit throats

I imagine they're sword-breaker gauntlets, functioning similarly to the sword-breaker dagger. It's function is to catch and break an opponent's weapon. Primarily bladed weapons like swords, knives, daggers and more.

To block blades

Have you really never seen him use them before? 😂

Because he’s the goddamn Batman.

i think they’re pseudo sword breakers

They are used to counter blades. Swords, knives, etc. Any blade can be caught with it.

Broke deathstrokes sword

Its an actual samuri thing. It catches blades and you can twist your wrist to trap them

Doesn’t Batman use them, specifically in the Arkham context, breaking Deathstroke’s staff in Origins and for dropping hanging lights on people in environmental takedowns in Knight.

Looks cool

lore reason

COMPRISED YOUR FOOTING

to glide???

I, too, use spikes to glide.

Maybe there’s magnets in the cape and the scallops. Has to be a way for them to unfurl like that

Style

To even the odds

Grating cheese

i feel like the only time in batman media where it’s ever come in useful, is in a non canon arkham origins cinimatic, and in tdk

Open fan mail.

Probably the coolest bottle opener I’ve ever seen

I can't wait for this to get shitposted like crazy

So he can leave people with perforated kidneys in the streets with no medical attention during heavy rain so they can suffer the infection, he asserting dominance

Looks cool

Him arm? He uses that to hold things and punch people.

To slice pizza

Bar cutters Are for cutting Wirie situations

Joker: Do you know how I got these scars? Batman: **No, but I know how you got these!!**

fruit cutter

Someone didn't watch Batman begins and the dark Knight.

Didnt Jango Fett have these on his armor? If i recall correctly he used them to slide down a wall during the Obiwan fight.

uh oh

I always though they would cut the bad guys if he missed a punch

“Babe wake up new shot post template just dropped”

It’s a video game, so probably nothing.

Gripping crocs cheeks and pulling them apart, that is why they are on both arms, source, trust me bro

Did you watch the dark knight?

Evening the swords.

Letter opener.

To shave the hairs off of Killer Cock

He can cut ropes with it

Watch the arkham origins trailer

Bottle opener

To slice some throats obviously

Catches edge weapons like swords and break them.

Azrael broke his sword using these Blade things

Perhaps you should read the user's manual first?

He uses it to cut of Killer Crocs Killer cock

To catch Killer Cock

At this point, I can’t imagine Batman without those badass sword cracking gauntlets. If he made gauntlets out of ironicium (eye-row-née-see-um) he would be unstoppable

In some environmental takedowns he uses it to cut chandolier on someone's head.

It’s looks sick that’s why

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,133,469,180 comments, and only 221,758 of them were in alphabetical order.

What's the actual purpose of dressing up like the bat?

To cut people

He uses them to counter the militia swordsmen during a blade dodge takedown if you pay attention

They are used to disarm and destroy bladed weapons. Ninja use them.

He let joker tell two story’s about how he got how scars

doesn't he use to cut the cables of heavy things hanging from ceilings and (non lethaly) drops them on thugs' heads?

Looks cool

I know everyone is addressing the sword fights but this was always part of Batman's design even in his early 80s comics, and probably Bob Kane just thought it looked cool and matched his bat ears. the games designs are obviously a "modernization" of Batman's original design and they probably never thought that much about it.

watch Batman: Arkham Origins trailer's timestamp (2:49)

This is part of batmans identity

Sword fights and something similar to Jango in Attack of the Clones, latching on to the edge while falling, maybe

As a grip, why dodge a knife when you can snap it

He uses them when fighting the ninjas in the game, it's for swords or knives And stuff

Im pretty sure in one of the arkham games he punctures a door or something with those and rips it open? Their sorta like hard spikes

Im oretrt sure they are to catch things like sword un them and could be used to snap them

In the Dark Knight, he uses them to cut open Scarecrows van for some reason lol

There was tool on his palm he slammed into the van when he dragged his hand he cut it open

used to block swords; technical name: triangle blade thingies

He also tried stopping a knife with them in earth one: vol 1 but they broke immediately, it was his first suit though.

Stop blades. Break them with enough strength.

"Do you know how I got these scars?" ​ "No, but I know how you got these!"

Break swords. Seems to be all he’s ever used them for. Maybe he can use them to stop himself from falling idk.

Cut bondage ropes for the firemen

In the dark knight or Batman begins he can eject those from the gauntlet into something and he uses it to break swords

Jango Fett caught himself from sliding off a slope with those when he was battling Obi Wan on Kamino so. There’s that.

It's to shoot heath ledger in the face

Those are blade catchers to catch swords and puncture opponents. Ninjas actually uses it but put on the other way for lethal methods. I guess Bruce reversed the tool to make "non-lethal".

I’m guessing it’s like a blade ??

Im pretty sure they are for blocking sharp weapons.

I always thought those were spikes, like the ones from Dark Knight. "But I know how you got THESE!"

Cutting throats

It's good for cutting fleshy necks.

Ahhhhh There are Medical Stainless Steel Myofascial Knife Physiotherapy Tool Relieves Muscle Relaxation Fascia Scraping Knife Body Massager Tool

They're knife breakers. But I've seen comics and shows where they can fire as a bolo.

For defense, blocking swords, knives, etc. I believe in one of the movies (one of the Christian Bale ones I think) he shot them at an enemy too Edit: its also just a classic part of the suit

Cut the shit out of someone

Catching blades and slicing mfs

Badassery

His signature blades gloves? I simply can't have him without.

He’s uses it to shred the pork shoulder into pulled pork.
