I think you're both reinforcing my point, that weak justifications could be made for anything they want to do. But just because it's usually done doesn't mean it has to be done. Would a guy dressed like Batman seriously create more fear in criminals than some guy just wearing a regular black military uniform and ski mask who beat the **** out of people in the dark all the time? I don't think so. Capes make zero sense if you want a realistic justification for something, but you'll never see Superman or Batman without one.
The cape did make sense though for Batman, and so did the whole Bat get up. He wanted Batman to be a symbol, and theatrical. It all fit in to what Ra’s was teaching him.
