Scary bat guy

Another one of those WTF moments in history. Just try and explain this shot. Was this the moment that a retired Batman realized he’s old and useless and decided to end it all? Maybe not, considering the disturbing grin on his face.

Are the straps for an actual parachute? Or are they to hold that wing thing, which will definitely keep this guy in flight until the sudden stop a few thousand feet below?

Looking at the “No food or drinks. No bare feet” sign, maybe the bat thing brought along a bottle or two of blood and was thrown out when he tried to take a sip.
