6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase: Where's Batman's Cloak?

This is a question that inevitably arises for all those who buy the set. 6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase and who discover out of the box that Batman comes without a cape.

Some theorize that the presence of the jetpack justifies the absence of a cloak in this chase scene with Catwoman.
This explanation seems a little short to me, Batman without his cape is like Superman without his red cape: the character has no interest and loses one of his main attributes, even equipped with the most beautiful jetpacks ... .

Especially since if we look carefully at the presentation of the set on the official LEGO catalog, the minifig put forward like the one in the set does sport a blue cape. The image of the Batman minifigure could very well be that of the version common to this set and the set 6860 The Batcave, and in this case LEGO would have used the same visual for both presentations.

So, forgetting on the part of LEGO or the assumed choice not to put Batman's cape in this set? No one has yet obtained a real answer to this question, but for the AFOLs that we are, this image is a bit like false advertising ...
A manufacturer of the stature of LEGO must not make this kind of mistake.
