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: "Bat-Hound, is that you?!" |
 |
| Above images: To move this cosplay even closer to its comic book appearance, the white eye slits were added to the cowl. |
