Batman inspires Air Force

The US Air Force and military is being inspired by some Batman technologies, etc., in some of their equipment and other ideas for the future:

Not very surprising. I'm surprised it took them this long to think of this.

Yeah, it took them long enough to get some light weight equipment in development. These soldiers are out there risking their lives; the last thing they need is to be carrying dead weight. I'm all for anything that makes their jobs easier.

Although, I hope they got permission to use all the Batman references. I saw a patch in site's one version of this story. The patch had an actual Batman logo on it. The last thing the US government needs is a lawsuit against it for unauthorized trademark usage.
