There is something very badass about the Bat Jacket. Considering the fact that it reminds me of Catwoman's [latex costume](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vampire-slayer-collection), I guess I can't help but think there is a very villainous quality about it.

Designed by James Lillis, the Bat Jacket is made out of polyester and LYCRA. Considering that [accentuated shoulders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boucl-alpaca-dropped-shoulder-aviator-jacket) are a huge thing in fashion right now, I'm sure that this will be a favorite for many ladies out there. Available on Blackmilk, it is priced at $150.
