Isn't the purpose of batmans cape to make him appear larger, which makes him harder to hit with bullets?



Post-rationalisation.

Its supposed to give the character the feeling of movement when drawn. Which is why Wolverine is drawn in static poses.



If you want to get technical, the reason Batman has a cape is because Superman had one. Same with the undies on the outside. Bob Kane admitted to just tracing Superman's outline and doing minor changes.

But, as has been said, even looking at the early '39-40's material, Batman's cape is drawn cloaked over his body and sticking out a good bit to make him appear bigger than he was. Rationalisation or not, it is still a valid explaination.
