Artists couldn't bring forth the will to draw a man's ass, so they covered up the backside with a cape. Now everyone is metro & fine with doing anything.

Batman's reasoning is because it makes him look more ominous and also when the bad guys do get off a shot, there's a larger target to hit with more area that he isn't in so he's less likely to get shot.

So it can get caught between rocks and that the enemy can have the upperhand until the last minute when a boulder falls on the bad guy and the super hero gets free and "saves the day" of course.

I wear a cape because the wearing of a cape denotes confidence and projects self-assurance. I can't speak for other superheroes.
