Yup,thats why in the first film when Bats had been knocked down by the Jokers goons,when they were checking him out,it was only then that they realised he was wearing armour.
These obviously armoured suits take away from the way Bats was always viewed as being something more than human by cowardly villains.
Seeing the suit above just shows he needs protection cause he is human.
Kinda loses something of the mystique that surrounds a so called "urban legend"!
