So, I'm looking for a list of the various gadgets Batman has used in comics, preferably including any specialized suits and vehicles as well. I don't suppose there's a website that catologues this stuff, is there?
EDIT: Since I'm making my own list now, please list anything you can think of, from belt gadgets to special suits, to vehicles, but only what has appeared in comics.

I guess we could start one here. If your willing to compile a master list at the end I'd bet you'll get lots of takers to pool our knowledge.

I'm not a 100% but I think there was a thread a while ago where people covered a lot of his gadgets.

Yeah, I'd totally be up for that.
this one? (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=138468)Eh. I'm reading through it now, and it seems mostly the joke stuff from the Adam West TV show and cartoons. I'm looking for the stuff he used in the comics themselves.

I'd say start a new thread with a better title, like "Help Compile Master List of Batman Tech" and make it clear in the post you only want Comic tech not TV or Movie stuff.
Not a bad idea. I changed this threads title, maybe it will help.

Very nice list to start things off, Tequilamokinbrd.

Yeah, I thought that this was going to get mired in Adam West territory.
Bat-bolas, shark repellent, carousel reversal spray... good times.
Oh, and someone mentioned those cape-weights, but on several occasions (most recently in Trinity, I believe) his cape actually had these blade things on the end that worked great for crowd control against henchmen.
