Arkham City Incident[]
After Bruce Wayne escaped his custody from the TYGER Guards in Arkham City, he contacted Alfred and requested him to send the Batsuit and his utility belt on the roof of Ace Chemicals. The belt acted the same as it did in Arkham Asylum. After Batman went in the Museum to rescue Mr. Freeze, he had to follow a blood trail from a member of the League of Assassins, but before he did that he requested to have the Line Launcher dropped in Arkham City and Alfred made a joke if Batman ever considered a bigger belt. Batman did consider it, but it would be too heavy and it would slow him down.
Harley Quinn's Revenge[]
After the Joker's death, and a vengeful Harley Quinn captured Batman, her goons took his belt from him, but it seemed to have a defense system as whenever the henchmen tried to pick it up, they were electrocuted. A group of inmates huddled around it, and were afraid to touch it until Robin came by the area and knocked them all out. Robin took the belt and gave it back to Batman after he was set free.
Arkham Knight Incident[]
In the default outfit, it was colored gold. Near the end of the game, Batman temporarily abandoned the belt, however, that only affected his ability to use quickfire gadgets during one fight.

Trivia[]
- In one chat with Batman in Arkham City, Alfred asked him if he had ever considered a larger belt due to the ridiculous amount of gadgets that he could hold in it. Batman replied that he did and even used one, yet it was too heavy and held him down. Batman could've been joking, but it was possible that he had a large amount of utility belts.
- In Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, the belt was gold, but in Batman: Arkham Origins the belt was grey/black. This might have been a reference to Batman: Year One, in which the belt was grey, as Origins borrows certain plot points from the aforementioned comic.
- After completing Arkham Knight's story, Batman could return to the storage room where he left his belt. The belt was still on the table, but used the default model. If Batman wore any alternate skins, the belt model would be miscolored.
- As seen in Harley Quinn's Revenge, the belt has a security system that prevents unauthorized people to handle it: it can be seen when Harley's thugs are repelled, but Robin can pick it up without troubles.
