I wanna see the DCnU Bat-Suit used as the tenplate for the next live action Batman costume.

DCnU Batsuit+Captain America materials=PERFECTION.

I like that belt but i think that Batman should be more fit.. .

I don't know how I didn't find this thread sooner. This is my new favorite thread. Last year for Halloween my girlfriend and I dressed up as Batman and Catwoman right before heading into HARD HAUNTED. Unfortunately I couldn't bring my mask in but I think people got who we were regardless.

So for the mask I took a generic paper mache mask and modified it using copious amounts of masking tape (no pun intended)

Original

Phase 1

Phase 2

Phase 3

Phase 4 - Ears

Then I cut a bunch of pieces of foam paper and sprayed the whole thing black. I was going to put a layer of stretch vinyl fabric but I ran out of time.

The rest of the costume were items I purchased. The gloves I bought at comic-con years prior, the belt pouches were from a military website, the boots were old work boots. We haphazardly made boot spats and trunks the day of.

One of my good friend's grandma made me a costume back when I was in highschool out of heavy vinyl, like for upholstery. I ignorantly picked the thickest, worse fabric EVER and as a result, I can't stay in that particular suit longer than a few minutes before dying of heat.

Fortunately she picked the material to make the cape and so I have an awesome Batman cape thanks to her.

On Halloween we suited up for what would be a pretty awesome night. (On a side note Soulwax was headlining HARD that year, if anyone cares)

She made the belt out of a thin black belt with cardboard ovals covered in yellow fabric. The cat ears were a just cardboard and tape. She purchased the gloves and the boots. The "Zentai" suits were from a costume store in Santa Monica. We spray painted the mask (more of a surprisingly comfortable helmet costume fitted to my head) as well as symbol on hours before we left. Needless to say I smelled delicious and intoxicating. I had an eroding bat symbol on my chest for days to come.
Here are pictures from that night

Not entirely happy with the results but I am satisfied with my first attempt.

I would like to have another go at these costumes and finish right in time for comic-con.

I love that cowl.

 

[TheWatcher]

I do too.

It's clearly inspired by Year One, which is awesome.

 

[Mako]

It's nice Cosplay but I wouldn't want to see it on film.

 

[Majik1387]

Yeah same here. Not a fan.

 

[TheWatcher]

The cowl looks movie quality but not the suit.

 

[Mako]

Eh.. I wouldn't say that, the design is a decent idea but the execution is horrible.

 

[TheWatcher]

I disagree.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I agree that it is a nicely made fan costume, but again I still don't think that material would translate well in a film.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

The costume looked so much better when the cape hid most of it. It looks like it could be a really good Batman of Zur-En-Arrh though.

EDIT- Actually, quick stab at it, so excuse the crudeness of it...

 

[Lencho01]

I posted it in regards to the design. Not the material used.

Anyway, I'd like to see Batman with white eyes...

You shouldn't have bothered, it has been proven time and time again that Batfans are incapable of making a distinction like that.

I particularly liked his cowl and found it interesting that his belt still keeps the yellow we're used to seeing, but makes much darker. Also, the segments on the cape cool.

Or the distinction this is a fan-made costume made on the cheap. A film studio could take that same basic design and throw a bunch of money at it and make it a viable costume for a movie.
