Batman seems to have laid off some scientists who are now free lancing or some shit.
Electrified, armored glove could turn you into a superhero (http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_technews/20110531/tc_yblog_technews/electrified-armored-glove-could-turn-you-into-a-superhero)

Let's face it, without the ability to fly, see through walls, or shoot lasers from your eyeballs, your chances of becoming a real-life superhero are pretty slim. That is, unless you got your hands on the BodyGuard, an armored glove and arm covering that not only protects against hand-to-hand assaults, but can also deliver a stunning shock to would-be assailants. The armored covering is designed for use by law enforcement and has the potential to become standard issue gear.
In addition to the BodyGuard's lightweight, protective carbon fiber exterior and built-in stun gun, the device also sports a laser pointer, flashlight, and even an HD video recorder for capturing crooks on film. A set of stealthy buttons located in the palm of the glove control the accessories.
The BodyGuard is the brainchild of David Brown, a film cameraman and inventor who has spent the last 7 years building various prototypes of the powerful glove. Early versions have have already been put to the test in mock combat scenarios and the first demo unit is set to be delivered to the Los Angeles sheriff's department by the end of the year.
They even got the color right.
Maybe they will come out with a pink version for the ladies?
