- This page is about the weapon used in Batman Forever. For more general weapons used and comic examples, see: Bolas
The Bat-Bola was a special Batarang used by Batman. When thrown, the weapon would split into two halves attached by a wire and wrap themselves around a target. Batman made use of the Bat-Bola to subdue one of Two-Face's men during their attack on the Second Bank of Gotham. The gadget was presumably destroyed during Riddler's attack on the Batcave.
Behind the Scenes
The Bat-Bola is absent in initial drafts for Batman Forever. It was likely the gadget was added when a skirmish between Batman and Two-Face at the Second Bank of Gotham was added. The Bat-Bola is referred to as a Batarang variant in promotional material for Batman Forever. However, the gadget was based on bolas, which had previous been used by Batman in the comics.
