Meat's clothes
cos the other thread is locked I'll answer Steve's question here. Meat was given the red cloth to wipe his brow during an early performance and kept it as part of his act to stop sweat running in his eyes throughout the show.
His clothes are just for theatrical effect- both Steinman and Meat said of the Meat Loaf character that he was a rock and roll Pavarotti- I figure that's where the suit came from though I don't know why it became really gothic for Bat II, probs just part of the act, no meaning behind it.
