Really big fan of whenever Batman uses his cape to shield/comfort the people he protects:
But consider:
the rest of caped Batfam members doing it too.
- when rescued victims cling to them for a while, they use the capes like shock blankets. Injured kids hiding under Robin's/Batgirl's cape while they wait for paramedics to arrive.
- teammates and younger heroes huddle up under their capes to rest when tired or injured (LISTEN they really didn't mean to fall asleep. It's not their fault that they just had an adrenaline crash and that the batkid's presence was kind of comforting sHUT UP)
- BUT ALSO for the older Batfam members: they may be too big to properly fit under their younger sibling's smaller cape. But imagine waking up on the ground after you got knocked out from taking a bad hit. You immediately know you’re not in danger anymore, because one of your younger siblings is shielding your face from noise/light/rain with their cape. It makes the concussion more bearable while you wait for the medevac to arrive. You’re taken care of. You’re gonna be fine.
