Batman's belt is useful for fighting crime. I don't fight crime. I avoid it and defend myself against it as it becomes necessary.

For those who think they need 2 of everything, I have to wonder if they are really trained to use any of it. I mean, it's not that difficult to swing a metal stick; but if you have a baton, do you really need mace, etc...? Why don't you just pick one or two potentially very useful tools and train to get VERY proficient with them. Then you don't really need 500 things on your belt because your dexterity with your 1 or 2 chosen tools will aid you in the vast majority of situations and circumstances.

Remember the adage, "Fear the man with one gun?" Well, that whole nutshell.
