Bolas are a type of throwing weapon made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords, used to capture animals by entangling their legs. Depending on the exact design, the thrower grasps the bolas by one of the weights or by the nexus of the cords. The thrower gives the balls momentum by swinging them and then releases the boleadora. The weapon is usually used to entangle a target's legs, but when thrown with enough force might even inflict damage.
Batman uses specially designed bolas in his crime-fighting arsenal. The are composed of ballistic nylon threaded with carbon fiber filament. Wayne-Tech originally designed the items for the purpose of catching hypersonic jets landing on aircraft carriers. As Batman himself says, "I use it for other things". [1]
