SInce I frequent a Rumbles forum, I am curious to learn all I can about Terry McGuinnis' Batsuit.
What are its capabilities??
Does it boost strength, speed, agility, whatever?? How much??
What weapons and devices are internal??
Whats in the utility belt??
Basically, I want to know everything and anything about the BB Batsuit.

If I remember correctly, it enhances strength times 10 or so (the strength of 10 men i assume). It also allows the wearer to take quite a beating, as evidenced by Terry in almost every episode.

The suit enhances strength about tenfold, and provides protection. It can be remotely shut down from the Batcave...and also has a one time taser built in. The "belt" contains Batbolas, various Batarangs including flash-bang type, impact-type...
The "belt" has Batbombs and a remote link to the Batmobile, so Terry can control it via remote. The cowl contains infrared and night vision lenses, a heads up computer display, targeting systems, and a radio link to the Batcave.
Batarang launchers in the wrist area...
The suit can be made invisible by bending light around it. The control for this is the "belt" "buckle".
The Batsuit has thrusters in the boots, and the glider wings on the back...
I think the suit has sensors to detect movement, etc.

It probably drains the hell out of the suit. The cloak works by bending light, which means some kind of serious electromagnetic something or other...

It also has a breathing device for when going underwater. Is it me or did it seem like in some episodes that the Batsuit's strength varied from time to time. Example: in the Terrific 3 episode he lifted a HUGE cylindar like object that him trapped on the ground. It must have weighed a couple of tons. Then in other episodes he struggles to do things like a rip a door of its hinges or something.

The "Belt Buckle" can be removed and used as a saw.

It's because he used the cloak so much, and drained the suit...

I've found there really isn't any exact specifications/definition to the suit - you'll find it varies a little between episodes. Just one of those science-fiction sorta things.

Kinda like Batman's utility belt?? May have almost anything in it??
Off topic, I've yet to see a RPG or game that accurately portrays the ability of Batman-type characters to pull anything out of their belt/pocket/backpack/whatever.

If manipulated to do so through some electronic means, the empty suit can take on human form and move on its own. This happened in the episode where the A.I. from that company took over the suit and the circuits were green instead of red. This says a lot about its muscle control.

Is it me, or does the suit's underwater breathing device keep changing? In 'Untouchable' he had a plastic thing on his nose and mouth. And in that one episode where he was trapped with that one kid, he had these two white things that came somewhere from the back of his head, to his mouth.
I think, he also had another kind in 'The Call.'
...??? Weird.
Another thing, does he also have a spare Batmobile? In 'The Call', it took a really bad hit at the end of Part 1, and then in Part 2, it's all made up and fixed, and trashed again. I don't think, Bruce would be able to get the parts and fix the whole mobile in time to send it to Terry (Even if he did have help from someone). The whole thing's custom made. I don't know who it is in BB, but I remember there a mechanic in TAS, that helped them out with the Batmobile designs and repairs. Still, I doubt the Batmobile would be fully fixed by the end of Part 2.
BTW If you look in Rebirth part 1, you'll see the old batmobile when Bruce is turning off the lights. It'll be in one of the shots. I remember someone asking about that; I'm not sure if it was in this thread though...

The UK Batman of the Future comic had a pretty full coverage over the first few issues.

Don't forget that his boots uses powerful magnetism to attach to surfaces, so he can hang upside-down (in "Rebirth") or attach to a wildly-moving vehicle without being thrown off (in ROTJ).
