The material of the cape has varied with different writers, sometimes being depicted as bulletproof"" and fire resistant, and other times being made of simple fabric that tears easily and is continuously replaced. For example, in the "" episode "Robin's Reckoning", Batman fell through a floor heavily compromised by machine-gun fire and landed badly, hurting his leg. He ripped up his cape and used some pieces of broken wood to make an impromptu ankle splint. He is also commonly seen with the cape able to wrap around his entire body, usually whenever he is standing or sometimes when walking.
