I'm sure some will differ from others but what in your opinion is the best Batman cowl ever made to buy?? I've seen a few on Ebay that were pretty cool ex. Batman Begins, Batman (89) but I've been thinking of buying one but haven't decided yet....any info would be appreciated.

You can buy that?? Either way its cool...
 
Wow. I bet that's an expensive costume right thar. Looks awesome, though. :wow:
 
That's homemade. How do you learn to make something like that? I'd like to make my own suit but I have no idea where to start.
 
since you can't link to other boards, i won't. but there is a forum all for guys who make their own batsuits. they sculpt their suits and cowls. i'm pretty sure i've seen those pics above on that site. some of these guys have unbelievable suits.the brotherhood of the bat. all you need to know about making your own batsuit can be found at that forum. BUT if you want to buy a custom cowl, they could run you a decent chunk of change.
 
Yeah all around awesome suit, you've got a lot of talent to make something like that. I don't know why someone can't make a Cowl like that for sale at least make them better than the BB one that was released, by the way does anyone have the BB one? I thought about getting one but I didn't know how well they were made...
 
again. some of the people who make homemade cowls will sell them. but the amount of time, and the cost of resources run pretty high. so if you want to buy a cowl from someone, they will be expensive. they will be of very high quality. but it will be expensive. you could make your own for the same price. just A LOT more work.
 
I'm sure people would sell them but I meant the people that handle Batman merchandising making a better durable Cowl. I'm sure they could produce something close to that but I doubt it would ever happen.
 
yeah. i don't know. they might make expensive replicas. but they would probably be the kind of thing made to be kept in a case, and not worn.
 
Well for me I'd had to say the Batman Returns commemorative cowl. Its a very tight fit, very decent in my opinion. Bought it for 29 bucks on e-bay.
 
do you want a licensed cowl or fan made cowl? How much are you looking at spending on one?
 
I guess a licensed one because I'm sure the fan made ones are expensive. I'm still thinking about it but I don't know how much I would spend, I'd like to keep it below $100 probably. When I was little I had the Batman Returns cowl which from what I remember was really well made, mine ripped though somehow...wish I still had it in one piece.
 
As far as Begins masks go...

The "Deluxe" Batman Begins cowl made by Rubies (around $30) is fine. Its easy enough to slip on and fastens with velcro in the back. So yeah, while there is a slit running down the back of the neck, it at least stays closed.

-However-, the "3/4" Batman Begins cowl, also from Rubies (and closer to $20), has -much more accurate- facial detail. The only problem is that it only covers roughly 3/4 of your head, leaving the back and neck exposed.

I like both very much myself. They might not be the ritziest things in the world but they more than do the job. They haven't sustained any damage in the time I've had them, so they seem durable enough to me.

With -any- mask, try your best to find them in person at a Halloween store so you can get a good look at them and pick out one that hasn't been mangled. They don't look like much hanging from those cardboard tags, but they're fine once they're properly displayed and in shape. With ordering online, you never know what you'll get imperfection-wise (on the other hand, its less likely to have been manhandled by Halloween shoppers).

You need to go to a shop in Basingstoke England that has them they rock.

For how much and what is the store called? I live in the North West and am intrested in an 89 purchase.
 
I'm only half-kidding when posting my Batsuit. Yes, I bought that cowl, but from a private artist who made it for me via one of those prop replica sites. It is very, very close to the real thing, but is still his original sculpt.

However, since those pictures were taken, that cowl has been traded off to another private collector, and I am working on getting it's replacement which should be in my hands in a few weeks.

The replacement is a bit more *ahem* "genuine" :)
 
Yeah. But keep in mind there are those who honestly have a deep need to belief that if an item is more expensive it's of an unobtainablely high quality.

Personally, having gone through two Rubies 92 Cowls already, I'd love to know these places you speak of BatMatt...are we talking ebay? Or some other site like the one I linked...just not as pricey...

$500 for a cowl is overpriced. You can get one cheaper off ebay, just check on a regular basis. There are costuming sites that have trade sections like BOTB, LoH, and a couple of others. Theres enough of us costumers on here to steer anyone in the right direction if you are truly interested.

Crap I can not remeber what it was called but it was only around £20 and it was real good. Very 89 dude try looking it up on the net.

The mall is called Festival Place.
