I think is to give him a presence where ever he goes. Because appart from the cape his face is the next thing the bad guy looks at. Imagine your just stole something and you are on your way home when suddenly the shape of an over sized bat passes over your head to land infront of you only to see a half demon thing and the other half is man. what do you do? you run a way that's what at least that is what i would do.
P.S. its good to be back.

Yeah, but that's a comic book. In real life you can't do the type of physical activity she does and still be able to catch your breath. For example: Tobey McGuire and his costume double both complained that they couldn't breath through the mask when they were doing normal scenes, let alone physical ones.
