Batman Goes Blue! It Had to Happen! 70s Bronze-Age Batman Cosplay Action!

You asked for it!

In response to the requests of millions (Sammy Millions, the guy who runs the corner fruit stand), I updated my black-and-gray "70s classic Batman" cosplay (see it here), to something that leans more toward the "blue and gray comics Batman" look!

Click below to follow along and enlarge images!

 

Above: Test-fitting pics. I already had the belt and bodysuit, now to find the perfect blue cowl and cape (and gloves and trunks)...

 

Above two images: The cowl needed some painting to lighten it up (it
started as a very deep "midnight blue" shade), along
with some highlights and gloss applications among the brow, to
bring that area out further in contrast!

Above: My inspirations! The works of (left to right) Jim Aparo, Gerge Perez, and Drew Struzan!

Above: With the custom cape! The gloves needed some
paint application, and fins created and added! 

Above: I acquired black boots, then came more paint apps
to get them to match the rest of the accessories!

The cape needed some minor velcro apps to 
affix it properly to the traps/shoulders. Due to
its weight, it stays in place quite well,
but the velcro sure helps!

Above images: To move this cosplay even
closer to its comic book appearance, the
white eye slits were added to the cowl.
