if the cape were that big and it had the shape of a bats wings that would look awesome and would probably be terrifying to criminals because the proportion of his wings to his body would look like a bats proportions.
I'm sure he'd make it light enough for it not to do that. He may make it super flexible so when he's not flying it's not quite that long and it extends to its full length in flight.
A cape made from material that "folds" or "tucks itself in" is as simple an explanation you need to allow for the scientifically accurate size. Because science... and because BATMAAAAAAN!
Thereon Inarek I'd say the way it was depicted in Batman Returns would be the way to go, which is basically support bars that can be activated seperately, making it stiff enough to not fold, basically converting into a hang glider and back at will.
I like to think that there’s either: magnets in the cape and feet as well as the fore arms or pockets for the the small spike (not sure what they’re called) to go in to and snuggly fit inside it.
Question: what if the cape was made of a material that stretches to a dome shape(like a parachute) when introduced to air pressure.. effectively creating more surface area for the glide while maintaining batmans standard cape size
Fun fact, in his comics Batman is occasionally drawn with his cape appearing MUCH much larger and longer (and often quite ragged at the same time), to the point where, to me, it kinda resembles the size he'd need to ACTUALLY glide the way he does.
Dude, you should seriously be a teacher. Like no kidding. The way you make these videos is super fun and interesting and it would be a good way to get students interested
with the wing he had in dark knight, he could still glide, but like skinny thor said, his glide ratio would suffer. but hed be hauling ass. faster than a hangglider but slower than a standard wingsuit. hed just have to flare like crazy to land nicely like a really fast speed wing, definitely more than a hang glider
Comment categories: OMG you look like Thor! You are great at backwards writing (Or in a question; how are you so great at backwards writing?) I'm a lefty too! Nice hair!
95 kg is a pretty generous estimate considering batman is wearing bullet resistant armor, underarmor from head to toe and what must be a very heavy belt. He also has the body of a heavyweight boxer who already average at 91 kg just with body mass alone....unless kyle was purposely doing math assuming bruce would glide naked o.O
The armor is titanium dipped tri-weave, so it probably has very little effect on weight. The gadgets are also pretty lightweight, considering he easily held up the belt before turning himself in to Scarecrow
If the surface area of the cape is the determining factor for his ability to glide wouldn't the tailored folds in his cape sufficiently increase the surface area so that the overall length/width of the cape could remain comparable to what is seen in the video game?
Love the way you talk when you mention how many hours you put into running the numbers. I felt the same way earlier this week helping my boss organize her office.
I love this video but i am curious as to why Batman's cape would require such a large area when wing-suits only need the space between your limbs? would attaching the cape to the arms and legs provide a more stable wing for better lift?
wingsuits need a lot of speed to glide forward which they get by diving down, but batman wouldn't be able to do that everytime he needs to glide in a city
I'm actually rather obsessed right now with making a working gliding cape. Just need some black parachute nylon and a light but strong wood for the struts/pinions. I want to make it with a large wingspan like in Batman Begins so it will actually work.
Man I used some parts of Parachute fabric and made the pattern and it worked when I was gliding down off an abandoned building and the math was right to.
Unfounded hogwash! How the hell could the billionaire CEO of Wayne Enterprise find the time to beat criminals to pulp and take on Gotham's underbelly while running a business, being one of America's most notorious playboys and hanging with models on his yacht all the time? It's impossible. At best, maybe he funds Batman's gadgets or something.
+Kyle Hill honestly surprised you haven't just gotten into teaching. You seem like you honestly love this sort of thing and it seems like you'd probably love being a lecturer and doing this sort of thing full time with a captive audience you can interact with in real time.
I've watched most of your videos, I find your humor very funny and the way you present your math to be very refreshing. Keep up the good work man. Because science!
Lack of Speed to enter gliding can be explained, or the issue can be somewhat alleviated. There are oft seen 2 ways he enters his glide-mode, 1 is to do a dead-drop from a building top, quickly entering Terminal Velocity before unfurling his cape. The other method is a combination of the former and the use of his grappling hook to drag himself forward at high speeds, significantly raising his velocity. Naturally, these methods entail their own sets of befuddling equations and problems, such as how strong is the tensile strength of his cape, and how durable is Batman himself to keep holding on the to severe power of his own grappling hooks without his arms flying off or his shoulder popping from it's socket... But that's all just minor details :D
You can also add in his actually velocity. which would be much higher than 9 m/s. People can reach a terminal velocity of 480,000 m/s in a 2 km fall with steam lined aerodynamics. His velocity at the end of a streamlined fall of 10-15 stories would be much greater than your running speed. This would generate additional lift allowing him to glide farther. I'm not certain how his arms don't break though. Go hold a 4'x8' piece of plywood in a stout 40 mph wind and you will understand.
Maybe if there was a material strong and light enough that he could make a big cape out of and fold it in half when he's walking around so it doesn't drag on the ground and when he jumps off a building he could release his cape to extend and allow him to glide.
Well, there are multiple mechanics that could allow for that. Maybe the suit it folded once and you can hit a button or something to unfold it from a normal sized cape to a 13.5 meter cape. It probably stretches out it what im saying.
What if you used a lighter fabric of a higher tensile strength such as graphene? I took an entry level college class on aerospace materials so I understand that the weight and strength of the material can greatly effect the size and shape of the part, the wings of a plane for example
What if Batman's suit or utility belt could shoot helium out of it and the cape was dense enough to keep the gas from going through it, won't it help at least a little to reduce the cape's size?
I thought he was writing backwards at first too, but then I noticed the lighting. Notice how the highlight shifts left to right during his closeups which they don't mirror (the correct word, not reverse ;) ) It's very subtle.
Filmmaker IQ to add on to your point, in this video in particular you can see his hair parted to one side in one shot, and then parted another way in others. However, there are some of his videos where his hair is pulled straight back so it's harder to tell the shot was flipped.
Good video, but there was a little explanation about his special "smart material" which changed form and adjusted the needed air resistance. It changed its form due to air resistance and needed speed and changed its mass by some electrical impulses, maybe like mussles
I thought in Nolan's trilogy he shows it was special cloth that he runs a current through to become ridged and it could be tailored to fit any skeleton frame
Graidon Mabson There do exist, however, polymer fibers that can elongate when a current is applied to them, so perhaps that could allow his cape to expand when needed?
You forget one important factor. Love Cause "love lifts him up where he belongs...." And "Your love keeps on lifting him, keeps on lifting him, higher and hiiiigher"
I think the most amazing things about these videos is the fact you write right to left to and with the letters backwards to your point of view pretty much perfectly. kudos.
what about the possibility of telescoping rods to change the size of the cape? I imagine such a large mass of fabric would impede batman's kick-ass fighting?
If your cape size is based on a 95kg male, then I think you have understated a bit! At 6'2" I weigh 100kg and have nowhere near the amount of muscle that Batman carries physically and that's without taking into consideration the suit and cowl (both kevlar lined) and of course the belt (which is a bit of a Mary Poppins bag of tricks really). Love the vids
If his cape were to be made of something with a ridged structure, perhaps like the skin of a golf ball, that provides more surface area by volume could the size of the cape be reduced?
Theres a Nightmare Batman Skin for Arkham Knight which is modled after the knightfall end cutscene and the cape is about that size, its badass, so even if Batman used theat cape he'd still be totally baller
i know i'm late on this one, so i probably won't get an awnser, but i can still hope: a) how do wing-suits work then? b) what if the batsuit had a surface similar to a high-tech swimsuit, to reduce drag?
I know it's late, but wouldn't you rather equollate Batman's flight to that of a...flying squirrel? Seeing as they both jump and glide. Where as the bat can actually generate it's own flight
Would like to see an estimate on his actual glide ratio in game. It would be simple to estimate the height of a building and the maximum distance from said building once he glides down from it. From that see if the numbers are realistic to real world materials and what you would need to change to make it actually work.
his arms CAN be used as an aerofoil if the cape is clipped properly but the centre of mass to centre of lift would cause him to stall and break his neck upon impact
Hmmm well in the games he seems to fall pretty fast, at least to me. Maybe that might be apart of it. It doesn't seem like the batcape is designed for long gliding, just from one quick roof top to the next if need be.
Maybe its in the design of the cape it extends when gliding because it has wiring in it and well with how rich Batman is, it's probably high tech and stuff so, yeah
wesley ayyye ;) Not quite. The cape, in order to make it functional/practical, cannot be longer than his nape to ankle measurement, as he would constantly be tripping over it and hindering any cool fight scenes. This means that the cape he wears when he is standing is not an accurate representation of the one he "wears" while gliding. This is know as movie magic. In "flight" his "wingspan" is probably twice his height (I referenced the movies to be sure). Supposedly, the fabric stiffens due to an electric current, right? No fabric (currently available, to my knowledge) can both expand to twice its size while stiffing ("molecules realigning", as Fox puts it in Batman Begins) to the point it could support body weight, while being lightweight AND durable enough to put up with all the shit Bruc- I'm sorry- Batman would put it through :/
In one comic explaination, he uses electrostatic gloves to send a pulse through his cape to make it stiff and stay in that position till it is charged again. Could this actually work, and if so, has anyone done it yet?
I usually surf RUclips just a little, i spent 2 hours watching you. you are very knowledgeable and entertaining.. I never had so much fun watching your vids, Please keep up the great work!
I wonder if a game accurate cape size could be used to simply make fast adjustments or get to another nearby,lower rooftop,or to lead into a fast roll so he doesn't go splat.
what if the cape is built not from a single sheet of fabric or whatever the material it's built, but the material actually have two or more stacked sheets, with small separation between, filled with some hollow tubes of the same material all the way down; whouldn't that double o make it have more surface on the same size than a cape build from simple fabric?
+Antonio Carranza Lift results from air passing over the top of a wing, such as the cape, faster than it passes over it. However, the wind on top of the bottom layer would be the same wind bellow layer two. Most likely the other layers wouldn't be able to contribute lift.
After centuries of magic, he got bored and decided to try out this thing the Midgardians were using called 'science'. He likes it because, unlike magic, he can work it out himself
Don't you just love it when science comes in to prove that your favorite hero can't exist. It's like that one kid who would always say what was wrong with something
Watch the buttons on his shirt. They flip back and forth because the footage is inverted to make what he writes not appear backwards. (He must have one heck of a symmetrical face. I have never been able to tell they were flipping the the footage.)
Link, The Hero of Time I believe that he is right handed and the video is flipped horizontally. That is much easier than to ask the presenter to write in reverse.
This reminds me of GaijinGoomba's video of Which Ninja focusing on Batman... You just added the science how a ninja could use a kite to fly (given that they are masters of illusion, so flight could be simply gliding from one rooftop to another, dropping bombs and reloding periodically)
"It's not flying, it's falling, with style"
No it’s “Falling with the exaggerated swagger of a black teen”
No its not called falling its called "dive bomb"
EarleTKG what?
Lol

Oh the nostalgia.
if the cape were that big and it had the shape of a bats wings that would look awesome and would probably be terrifying to criminals because the proportion of his wings to his body would look like a bats proportions.
But imagine the cape tackling him when he tries to fight.
I'm sure he'd make it light enough for it not to do that. He may make it super flexible so when he's not flying it's not quite that long and it extends to its full length in flight.
That's actually a pretty good idea.
Bobby Papoutsis well he actually is quite tall
A cape made from material that "folds" or "tucks itself in" is as simple an explanation you need to allow for the scientifically accurate size. Because science... and because BATMAAAAAAN!
Your scale drawing of a working Batman cape looked like...well like a pretty accurate scale drawing of a bat.
Because Nature
It's also similar to the main artwork for Batman Begins
Thereon Inarek I'd say the way it was depicted in Batman Returns would be the way to go, which is basically support bars that can be activated seperately, making it stiff enough to not fold, basically converting into a hang glider and back at will.
@creepy truck driver
Also if lift=weight, he'd never reach the ground. Obviously, the cape provides a descent such that lift < weight.
From what I remember of Arkham City, Batman's cape is actually pretty big when it foils out for gliding. I imagine it probably stretches or something.
FracturedPixels Yeah but how does he keep the back or bottom part of his cape out
RileyX7 magnets at his feet and cape
I like to think that there’s either: magnets in the cape and feet as well as the fore arms or pockets for the the small spike (not sure what they’re called) to go in to and snuggly fit inside it.
@@lowmoneydownsyndrome their are magnets in the cape those are the weights that let his cape stun in combat
Compared to his cape in the arkham asylum game, AC's Cape design was pretty small
Question: what if the cape was made of a material that stretches to a dome shape(like a parachute) when introduced to air pressure.. effectively creating more surface area for the glide while maintaining batmans standard cape size

Lack of Speed to enter gliding can be explained, or the issue can be somewhat alleviated.
There are oft seen 2 ways he enters his glide-mode, 1 is to do a dead-drop from a building top, quickly entering Terminal Velocity before unfurling his cape.
The other method is a combination of the former and the use of his grappling hook to drag himself forward at high speeds, significantly raising his velocity.
Naturally, these methods entail their own sets of befuddling equations and problems, such as how strong is the tensile strength of his cape, and how durable is Batman himself to keep holding on the to severe power of his own grappling hooks without his arms flying off or his shoulder popping from it's socket...

I'm not certain how his arms don't break though. Go hold a 4'x8' piece of plywood in a stout 40 mph wind and you will understand.
What the hell is Steam lined Aerodynamics
Maybe if there was a material strong and light enough that he could make a big cape out of and fold it in half when he's walking around so it doesn't drag on the ground and when he jumps off a building he could release his cape to extend and allow him to glide.
Wouldn't the real question be, how big does it have to be to be able to control his fall the way it does?
I love that Matt Reeves took notes on this to make Pattinson suit
Well, there are multiple mechanics that could allow for that. Maybe the suit it folded once and you can hit a button or something to unfold it from a normal sized cape to a 13.5 meter cape.
It probably stretches out it what im saying.
What if you used a lighter fabric of a higher tensile strength such as graphene? I took an entry level college class on aerospace materials so I understand that the weight and strength of the material can greatly effect the size and shape of the part, the wings of a plane for example

You're pretty good at writing in reverse
Narom Ngin Or they shot it regularly and then reversed it in post ;)
Filmmaker IQ No that's not the case, the numbers would have been mirror opposites but they are not.
AbhiShake Nope, it IS reversed. Try filming yourself writing on a piece of glass, and then reverse it. You'll see...
I thought he was writing backwards at first too, but then I noticed the lighting. Notice how the highlight shifts left to right during his closeups which they don't mirror (the correct word, not reverse ;) ) It's very subtle.

In the Batman begins movie it showed that it tightens and tensed up when a button was pressed.
I mean his wingspan already is between 15.7ft-17.4ft depending on the suit so he just needs to make it slightly larger. COOL!!
Because it looks fckn awesome that’s how
Good video, but there was a little explanation about his special "smart material" which changed form and adjusted the needed air resistance. It changed its form due to air resistance and needed speed and changed its mass by some electrical impulses, maybe like mussles

Well, if Batman's cape is some sort of shape-memory material, pwraps it IS that big, it just folds itself down once he lands.
I say he has very strong magnets in his boots and arms

Potentially related question. How would a wingsuit be able to work without the airfoil between the legs, if at all?
i know i'm late on this one, so i probably won't get an awnser, but i can still hope:
a) how do wing-suits work then?
b) what if the batsuit had a surface similar to a high-tech swimsuit, to reduce drag?

his arms CAN be used as an aerofoil if the cape is clipped properly but the centre of mass to centre of lift would cause him to stall and break his neck upon impact
I wonder how much the batsuit with a cape that huge would weigh, and how that would screw with these equations..
Hmmm well in the games he seems to fall pretty fast, at least to me. Maybe that might be apart of it. It doesn't seem like the batcape is designed for long gliding, just from one quick roof top to the next if need be.
What if he uses static electricity to extend the shape of the cape beyond it's physical size, or to add thrust either forward or upward?
Wow, that is one perfectly cleaned transparent surface...!!!
Glad to see Chris Hemsworth stopped using steroids.
omg that intro pun "dark flight"
Maybe its in the design of the cape it extends when gliding because it has wiring in it and well with how rich Batman is, it's probably high tech and stuff so, yeah

it extends using poles that adjust its a lesser hang glider one hole its done he cant fly off a building but from building to building
Am I the only one cracking up over the first 4 seconds?! Kyle, where's the Science man, Batman's on a time schedule.
Why does his cape glide?
[Batman watching the video] because I’m Batman
You kinda forgot that batman is wearing a heavy metal suit in the clip you showed
Don't you just love it when science comes in to prove that your favorite hero can't exist. It's like that one kid who would always say what was wrong with something
Watch the buttons on his shirt. They flip back and forth because the footage is inverted to make what he writes not appear backwards. (He must have one heck of a symmetrical face. I have never been able to tell they were flipping the the footage.)
I like your Bain voice
He's left handed! Like me! :D
Link, The Hero of Time Lefties priiiiide.
I write with my left hand too!
Link, The Hero of Time I'm also a leftie:D
Link, The Hero of Time I believe that he is right handed and the video is flipped horizontally. That is much easier than to ask the presenter to write in reverse.
I'm a leftie too :D lefties are more rare than righties.
he isn't flying, he's falling with style
This reminds me of GaijinGoomba's video of Which Ninja focusing on Batman... You just added the science how a ninja could use a kite to fly (given that they are masters of illusion, so flight could be simply gliding from one rooftop to another, dropping bombs and reloding periodically)
He doesn't need a huge cape. Because he's BATMAN!!
He doesn'tfly, he falls, in style
loved the creativity he put in this video❤
Awww i thought you was going to show me what its made of material makes a big difference
And what is his armour really made of
Imagine how fun it would be to glide in the air with a cape you’d probably land in a tree but it’ll be worth it
2:52 - So there IS a glass pane!
