Batsuit – The Dark Knight Trilogy

Movie Weapons Dark Knight

The Batsuit isn’t a much a weapon as Iron Man’s armor is, but it’s still paramount to Batman’s persona. It features a Bat Belt with tools that allow him to disappear into the night, grapple away, or even attack thugs. The suit itself is designed for stealth and quickness while also being mostly bullet/dog proof with incredibly sharp gauntlets for scarring psychopaths. Although not technically a weapon, the Batsuit’s versatile gadgets and endless capabilities amplify Batman’s dominance and driving force. Plus, The Dark Knight Batsuit may be the coolest Batsuit we’ve ever seen.


Chewbacca’s Bowcaster – Star Wars

Movie Weapons Chewbacca

Chewie’s bowcaster may be the most powerful blaster in Star Wars, so much so that even Han likes it. Clearly more than a normal blaster, Chewie’s bowcaster blows multiple people away with every shot. While it’s incredibly destructive and iconic, I personally believe that there are better-looking blasters in Star Wars. It’s a great weapon though, perfect for capping Stormtroopers.


Spider-Man’s Web-Shooters – MCU

Movie Weapons Spiderman

Spider-Man’s web-shooters are pretty great at webbing up bad guys or shutting up loudmouths, but they’re not the most powerful or destructive tools. Of course, in Spider-Man: Homecoming, we’ve seen how deadly they can be, but Peter Parker doesn’t use these advanced capabilities. They are incredibly versatile though as they allow Spidey to swing through cities, get to high places, or even patch together boats. While Tony Stark’s web shooter design is pretty cool, we hardly ever see them because they’re hidden in Spider-Man’s suit.


Captain America’s Shield – MCU

Movie Weapons Cap Shield

Captain America’s shield is great because it doubles as a weapon and a defensive tool. Its vibranium build makes it nearly indestructible, protecting Cap from any and all dangers. It also doesn’t follow the laws of physics so he can throw it like a boomerang, incapacitating multiple enemies at a time. Cap’s shield is great. For our categories, it hits a two in power and versatility because it’s not all that powerful nor is it all that versatile. It is, however, an inspirational emblem for children everywhere.


Wonder Woman’s Gauntlets – DCEU

Movie Weapons Wonder Woman

While Wonder Woman’s sword and shield are great, in an effort to diversify, let’s focus on those shiny gauntlets. Not only do these small wrist gauntlets protect her entire body from energy blasts, but she can also slam her gauntlets together to produce a sonic shock. Furthermore, these gauntlets are incredibly stylish and fit with either formal or casual wear.
