Batman and Robinmight be considered one of the worst superhero movie of all time for good reason , but you have to at least remember it for being as bombastic as it was . The motion-picture show featured a Bat - Credit Card , nipples on the Batsuit , and perhaps most egregiously , retractable ice skate built into Batman and Robin ’s costume . However , they are n’t the first hero with skates build into their suit . That honor belongs toIron Man .
In Iron Man ’s 2d - ever appearance inTales of Suspense # 40 , Stark ’s scientific prowess is being showcased . At a U.S. Army base of operations , he presents a full general with retractable roller skates capable of going 60 international mile per 60 minutes . He does n’t wear the skate in the control panel , but it was the first metre his tech was bring up in the comics . It would n’t be the last clip the skates popped up in Iron Man lore .
In 1963 ’s Strange Tales Annual # 2 , the same K - powered roller skate can be realise power the Fox away from Spider - Man and the Human Torch . In Tales of Suspense # 45,Iron Man lastly wear thin the skate with his classical , bulky armor . Stark would continue to wear off the hair curler skate as a part of his Iron Man armor . In Avengers # 94 , he claim on the Mandroids with his roller skate . In Secret war # 3 , the Iron Man armor features the roller skates to get out him of bother . In some versions of the skates , they had a surprisingly useful effect : They assist burden his suit of clothes .
Iron Man ’s undergone some serious changes during his time as a Marvel hoagy , including bestow a nozzle to his armor . The roller skates are absurd , but not the unearthly thing that ’s ever happen to the lineament - after all , he did have his armor retract from his skin at one breaker point . queerly enough , Batman and Robin did rock a pair of honey oil - power pealing skates before Iron Man - although , they were n’t retractable . InBatman # 117,when furrow the villainous Marrow , they quickly snap on a pair of jet - powered skate to keep footstep with a motorcycle .
The roller skates are without a doubt among the cockamamy face of Iron Man that have stuck . It ’s a pity they never made an appearance in the MCU . Although , it ’s probably for the best considering how the ice skate versions were received inBatman & Robin . There would n’t be many natural way to admit Iron Man dead want to apply spurt skates when he can take flight .
Logistically , the ice skates make ZERO good sense andis a item lover sure desire to forget about , but neither doesBatman & Robin . attempt to discover reason in Batman needing ice skates of all things in lawsuit of emergency is pretty much impossible . At least whenIron Manpops out his skates they really serve him .
