Force Works was originally a superhero team composed of old West Coast Avengers and led by a disgruntled Iron Man who had recently quit the Avengers. The name has occasionally been used for short-term hero teams since the end of the original team.
Regarding capes, i think TDK had a neat idea that Bats could recoil his cape into a backpack when hes fighting or moving on foot.Realistically, If he has the cape unfurled all the time it'd be easy for any thug to grab it, pull Batman down to the ground and stab him in the face( especially likely to happen when he fights 5 dudes at a time)
Superheros have crazy vehicles for all kinds of reasons.
GL to Flash: "Why do you need a van? Nevermind. I don't want to know."
As for capes, I seem to remember Batman has some uses for it in some of his combat moves in Arkham Asylum, plus I think I've seen him protect himself from fire with it or some such. And it's kind of like a towel, and as we all know, the towel is the most useful tool in the universe :D.
No, I didn't just watch Pixar's The Incredibles. Capes may look "cool," but what purpose do they serve? They offer plenty of wind resistance, and they only hinder your speed. Capes don't always lie on your back after a long flight, sometimes they go over your face when you're trying to land. Then the bad guy can punch you in the face. It’s also something that the villain can just grab and take you down. You know what destroys a cape? Everything. Fabric isn’t cheap and the second the cape tears or burns, you have to make a new one. If it’s made of some sort of super fabric that shields you from everything, then I can see the point, but why not just make your costume out of that? Capes are worthless."
@inferiorego: Yeah, I agree. But, I've always been a fanboy for Batman/Superman pairings. Did you see the Batman TAS or Superman TAS, where Tim or Dick was teaching Superman how to be Batman since Bruce was out of town. It was pretty cool.

Didn't Superman and Tim battle Braniac in that episode?
" @Michael the Fly: I believe so, but I haven't seen it in quite a while. "
If I am not mistaken Brainiac was disguised himself as Bruce Wayne, and used his resources to built a rocket ship, or something like that. Personally I liked the Joker Lex Luthor team up better.
Batman's Cape was fireproof in Kingdom Come and in The Dark Knight Returns and can cut people up. Only times capes have been useful. Also I hate Jimmy Olsen and count him as an object. I useless object that constantly gains super powers.
Capes have their uses, what would a hero without a cape do here... hm? xP "
Well I don't know about you but in this particular circumstance, I find it to be cumbersome and in the way of the characters "aspects," if you get my drift.

FOR WHAT? he has superstregth and a unibeam the car has nothing but non blow out rubber tires and a light armor i mean really it is so not neccessary tell me if u agree
