How the Batsuit Works

Posted by samzenpus on from the holy-too-much-free-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Batman's outfit plays a much more prominent role in Batman Begins than it did in the previous films. And a lot of the technology actually seems plausible. This HowStuffWorks article explains all its features."

    Not only that, I was looking there just earlier today, and I thought "What a crock" when I saw the advertisement for the new batman movie (sorry, i meant "informative article"). Howstuffworks used to be useful, but I searched there today for the word roulette (was wondering if they had an article on how a roulette wheel is constructed - commercial ones are like $4000), and I got 300 "paid ads" that weren't even in the paid ads section.

    howstuffworks is useless now. Just another website where advertising has replaced content.

    Yotto: *Yawn*
    HowStuffWorks: Here are a handful of articles written for fun on technology seen in popular movies.
    Yotto: OMG, HowStuffWorks sucks! They are teh sellouts! How can they do this to me?

    It must be terrible to live in your serious, serious world.
