My dear, the actor's need to be able to move is not OUR problem. That is the job of those who create fantasy.  To the viewer, to those who want the experience of what fantasy is when it becomes "reality," the actor must look like the skin is essentially part of his body, moving freely, and should feature its fulsome, swirling quality whenever he jumps.  By the way, Batman better move like Spiderman in Spiderman II, or there's gonna be a lot of yawning in those theaters, and when he moves, it is the producers' job to make sure that it seems as if Batman can do the same kind of flips Spidey does, with his cape in harmonious pursuit, gracefully, as if the Batman -- and he would, wouldn't such as he! -- bore in mind with every movement just how the cape, wind, drag, and so on would effect him.  Otherwise you're gonna get what we had in previous movies: overly dull, one dimensional jumps or turns, with the mildest of cape movement.
