Some characters — often of the badass variety — have a mysterious way of controlling even the very fabric of their clothing. They can turn their cape (generally a single piece of cloth) into a pair of fully functional wings (generally not a single piece of cloth), and then back again without any damage.
Probably because they look cooler, these wings often appear demonic or bat-like.
It might not always be clear if the wings turn into a cape or the cape turns into wings. It's best not to think about it.
Some examples take this even further, making the cape a form of Morph Weapon, capable of turning into many different things. They may also function as a type of Wing Shield as a means to protect oneself or others.
Compare Prehensile Hair.

This varies from game to game. In Kirby Super Star, he throws his cape away to the side, and he does it in the remake, but in the cutscenes and his own game in Ultra, his cape is established as wings, even if they don't appear in normal gameplay (outside of the cart-riding sprite).

Digimon:
UlforceVeedramon is a Dragon Knight Digimon who has a pair of blue and pink wings that behave as a Badass Cape when it's not using them to fly.
Dukemon/Gallantmon is another Dragon Knight Digimon whose cape turns into angelic wings when it mode-changes into Crimson Mode.
LadyDevimon has a pair of tattered wings resembling a cape, though it's hard to tell if they're part of her outfit or part of her body (the fact that she can evolve from regular Devimon, who's just a plain vanilla Winged Humanoid, suggests the latter).

In Sluggy Freelance, Aylee — an alien that occasionally grows a new kind of body as an adaptation to circumstances — eventually adopts a rather human-like form with a built-in dress. Amusing embarrassment ensues when it turns out the dress is actually her wings and she's even more human underneath. The trope is justified in the sense that, unlike in some cases, the wings actually fold to make the dress in a perfectly logical way.

Dark Souls III: In the DLC The Ringed City, Slave Knight Gael is revealed to be the final boss of the game after he consumes The Dark Soul of Man, and once he transitions to his second phase, his red cape — which is now on fire — becomes animated and tattered in just the right way to resemble a pair of wings. He can both swing these at you to attack you, or pull off some impressive aerial acrobatics with them.

Batman Begins and The Dark Knight did this with Batman's cape. Justified in that the wings were only for gliding, with "memory cloth" in the cape going rigid when you apply an electrical current. And before that, it was done in Batman (1989) and Batman Returns.

Kirby: Meta Knight wears a cape that can turn into bat wings in the main games and Super Smash Bros., but not in the anime, where he only had wings in the pilot.
Averted in Return to Dream Land. In the opening cutscene, Meta Knight removes his cape, revealing a small pair of wings under it.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl's The Subspace Emissary mode, he gets shot with a laser in the wing, which starts to burn off that wing. He lands and transforms it into a cape, which stops the burning and heals the damage somehow.
This varies from game to game. In Kirby Super Star, he throws his cape away to the side, and he does it in the remake, but in the cutscenes and his own game in Ultra, his cape is established as wings, even if they don't appear in normal gameplay (outside of the cart-riding sprite).

Discworld:
Some vampires (particularly Arthur Winkins, the Count Notfaroutoe, and a full-time vegetable merchant) need to be wearing a cape to transform into a bat.
Going Postal features an interesting variant with Mr. Gryle, a banshee who appears at first glance to be wearing a leather cape or overcoat, but those are actually his wings neatly folded around him.

The heroes of Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (a.k.a. Battle of the Planets) are an example. The split up the back often seemed directly related to whether they would fly-glide with them in that episode. Come to think of it, Zoltar's cape behaved interestingly from time to time too....

Some depictions of Golden Bat give him the power to transform his cape into bat wings, though he is more often shown flying superhero-style. The 2000 New Golden Bat anime pitch trailer even shows him using these wings as a Wave-Motion Tuning Fork in order to obliterate a giant monster. Implied in the 2022 manga, where Bat's spirit form wears an Ominous Opera Cape similar to his 1966 portrayal but can lend his host the power to sprout bat wings.

The Venture Bros.: Unlike his henchmen of The Fluttering Horde, The Monarch keeps the wings on his costume folded down when not in use, giving the appearance of a stiff cape. Presumably he went with the setup as a "best of both worlds" compromise, since his first costume had a regular cape until the future Dr. Girlfriend pointed out that wings would better fit the butterfly theme and she could make some that would enable him to fly. Season 7 eventually reveals that he that he usually wears a more comfortable, flowing set that functions solely as a cape, and only uses the sturdy ones when he thinks he'll need them ("One's for showin' and one's for goin.'").

They serve no practical purpose (he can't fly with them), but Code Geass's Lelouch was probably attempting to invoke this motif with his Zero disguise, given that it appears to be a cape-like cloak when settled around his shoulders◊, but the cape is revealed to be split into two "wings" when he◊ dramatically throws it/them back, recalling this trope's imagery.

Touhou Project:
Wriggle Nightbug's operatic cape gives her this look (since she's a firefly youkai).
Okuu has both wings and a cape, but some fanart depicts them as being one and the same.

Legacy of Kain plays with this; Raziel's actual bat-like wings are broken and the tattered shreds hang behind him like a cape, but he can still use them to glide for short distances.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night: Alucard's cape momentarily turns into a pair of bat wings when he double-jumps, and his wings in bat form are the same color as his cape.

Ariel from Drowtales explicitly does it with magic (her shapeshifting powers allowing Appendage Assimilation) for a one-time stunt. Hilarity Ensues when said stunt gets derailed by Liriel.

The cover art to Superman #659 (link) depicts Superman floating above a crowd, with a pair of red angelic (though still vaguely cloth-like) wings instead of a cape. The story is about an old woman who is convinced Superman is an angel.

There's a vampiric variant in Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. Meier Link can turn his cape into bat-like wings (which he can also harden to use as enormous blades), and his hands into armored claws.

Both Mobile Fighter G Gundam's Master Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam Wing's Deathscythe Hell have mechanical wings that transform into a cloak that covers their body; the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz version of Deathscythe takes it a step further by having the wings be lined with thrusters for exceptional mobility.
