Below you'll find a cool clip from the International Conference on Field and Service Robotics, of professor Shigeo Hirose testing his new Batman inspired grappling hook system. "After modeling several different designs, Hirose settled on a pneumatic hook with a controlled launching winch and a braking spool to avoid tangling the rope. Once launched, the hook rotates because of its center of gravity and grips whatever's beneath it."
