Crime fighting is a tough business. To be taken seriously by the criminal fraternity you've got to have an image. Superman has the whole red and blue look going on. It's worked well for him over the years. It somehow reflects sunny Metropolis. Does it ever rain there? Gotham is different. It pisses down most of the time - the Batsuit goes with that overcast vibe. I've fitted rain tyres to my brand new bike - you can't be too careful on those bends in the Narrows.
