The tights, mask and cape may make the superhero, but even Batman likes to look good out of costume. In ‘The Dark Knight,’ opening this weekend, Christian Bale wears this sleek Belstaff leather blouson jacket ($1,250) while he’s off duty.

And the legendary motorcycle-gear outfitter has presold 6,000 of the jackets on its website, www.belstaff.net. Talk about product placement.

But you, a mere mortal, can also find one at Barneys New York, 9570 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills. (310) 276-4400. www.barneys.com
