Abilities and equipment

Like Batman, the Batwoman relied on gadgets. Most of them came from the mind of Rocky Ballantine, though they also used a grappling hook similar to Batman's, along with pink batarangs. Rocky's morphing alloy was also used as a weapon to restrain and pressure a target.

Rocky designed Batgliders for transportation. Each glider was operable via a remote located into the utility belt, and had two small missiles and a grappling hook.
