This picture shows Batman missing an ear from his costume.



Batman with right bat ear missing



Which made me think, what does he keep inside his ears?




  • Radio receiver to listen to police broadcasts?

  • Radio connection back to Batmobile or to the Batcave?

  • Super-sensitive sound sensors?

  • Hidden weapons?

  • Tiny little cameras?

It depends on the continuity, but it's typically a set of directional microphones and high-gain antennas to give him better-than-human hearing abilities. Because he's a bat, see?



tech inside the Bat cowl



The prop from Dawn of Justice contains similar technology, according to the DoJ: Tech Manual, describing the cowl as containing a




titanium core and a range of infrared and sonic comms




prop picture from different angles



In All Star Batman #2, we see that Batman's new cowl has ears that contain a little surprise, functioning as the handles of a pair of concealed knives



Batlan stabs with ear-knives



And in Batman and Robin #22, the ears can be ejected and work as thrown knives.
