From Wiki
A cape is a type of clothing, and can be used to describe any sleeveless outer garment, such as a poncho, but usually it is a long garment that covers only the back half of the wearer, fastening about the neck
Also from Wiki
Cloaks generally fasten at the neck or over the shoulder, vary in length, from ankle all the way up to the hip, mid-calf being the normal length. They may have an attached hood, and may cover and fasten down the front, in which case they have holes or slits for the hands to pass through. However, cloaks are almost always sleeveless

So, A cape is for the back and without a hood, a cloak is for the back or full body and may have hood, ALTHOUGH cape can describe a cloak as well, apparently.

Gah.

Did we really just go that far off tangent to discuss the differences between a cloak, coat, and freaking cape?!?!?!

We are indeed, obsessed.

This has turned into a silly discussion, and I'm annoyed no one told me about it so I could participate.

Does Batman wear a cape or a cloak?

Anyway, Urb, I like the picture ... good anguish on poor old Paran's face.

Batman wears a cowl.

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

He wears a utility belt. Duh.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
