So, Halloween is coming up, and I'm thinking of being Batman.
I'd like to make a high quality costume, and have been thinking of some variations of the normal style that I think would work quite well.
- I would want the cowl attached to the cape, and able to lift back easily. There have been many different batsuits, but I always liked the ones that allowed Bruce to simply lift the cowl up and have it behind him.
- I am also looking at a way to have eye slits slide down and be illuminated with white light. The sliding down and illuminated part is not difficult, I just have to find a material I could see through.
- I'm thinking of basically getting rid of any yellow on the costume. I love the yellow utility belt, but I think it's hard to justify on a kind of real world stealth costume, which is what I would be going for.
- At the moment for clothing, I am thinking of having a grey compression shirt with the Hush batsymbol on it, over a chain mail shirt to give it an interesting visual texture. These would be over a long sleeve black shirt.
- Then maybe long black compression pants, with darker boxer briefs over the top. Black military boots and gloves with gauntlets should complete the basic look.
- I'm considering adding Velcro to the cape (made of nylon) and to gloves, so they can be attached as needed.
- I thinking of maybe making a shirt that could alternate between black and grey, depending how visible I wanted to be. Although I'm not sure if thermal clothing actually allows for that.
- Was also thinking of changing the costume colors to be all black but with a grey bat symbol and utility belt.
What do you guys think? Any suggestions?
