Utility belt with pockets on top?

Post by BatmiteReturns »

Didn't Adam once wear a belt that had all the pockets on the top? Or was this just for pulling out certain gadgets?

Thanks.

The pilot was the only episode that had the top loading pouches. Although comics insist on top loaders and even the current 66 Batman comic artists gravitate towards it, the fact is that you can barely get your gloved finger into one of those thin pouches and never reach bottom to dig something out. With the pouches that open from the bottom, gravity drops the item into your hand. Even the fx belt in the pilot had the bottom opening pouches with the exception of the batarang holster to access items. The top loading pouches were abandoned by the next adventure.

Awesome, thanks Scott.

I thought he had top pockets with the full loaders on all of the pouches. Never realized they were so small.
