Additionally, Batman hides a few pieces of his arsenal in his gloves, such as a lock pick and miniaturized batarangs. The knuckles of each glove have been depicted as containing a small amount of lead shot to increase the force of his blows. Similar knuckle reinforcement can be seen in the video game "", where Batman actually sprays his knuckles with an explosive gel to drastically increase the force of a punch (shredding the glove and nearly breaking his arm in the process). In the 2004 series "The Batman", Batman's gloves have sharp claws embedded in the fingertips.
