I just watched "Future Shock" and "The Once and Future Thing" and I was noticing that Terry's Batsuit flies with just the boot jets, and the wings are completely neglected? I suppose that we can add this to the list of inconsistencies like how it sometime seems to take a long time to fix the future suit and sometimes not, how the mask sometimes appears as a helmet and and sometimes as a regular mask, how it sometimes comes off and sometimes hangs off of the back, and how the cape and cowl are sometimes one piece and sometimes two :p?

I assume that the wings are for basically steering or glyding(did I spell that right?)

He does it a few times in the series. The wings are really to help steering.

Depends on how damaged the suit is.
how the mask sometimes appears as a helmet and and sometimes as a regular mask,
Terry's suit could either be flaccid or stiff based on whether or not it was power-up. The episode "Lost Soul" shows us that this is part of the suit's design.

High-tech velcro.

Granted, but that's the normal kind of inconsistency I usually see in cartoons (at the times when it does come up). Even the great Batman The Animated Series wasn't immune to it either, like the cowl is attached to the cape but sometimes it's not thing.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I just noticed something about this episode too.
In the opening where Chronos is being chastised by his wife, this seems to be directly influenced by a scene in the original TWILIGHT ZONE episode "TIME ENOUGH AT LAST". The character in this one gets chastised the same exact way.
Wonder if this was brought up before.
