50's Greaser Batman Concept

[Sundowner]

of course 50's greaser Batman would smoke Lucky Strikes!

 

[FudgeMando]

so decided to work on some prop stuff today, found a luckystrike print from a member on here, so thanks to them otherwise it would have taken me double the time, also found one of those gag switch blade combs that I went ahead and took a part the handle so I can re do it bat style, just dont know exactly how Im going to yet lol.
right now im thinking of the desgin hopefully Ill get it done by tonight.

if batman has a cowl on why would he need a comb

I'm guessing he'll add a fake blade :confused

But everything looks awesome so far! :thumbsup

It would be cool if you made a batarang switchblade the handle is half the bat and the blade is the other half of the bat, of that isn't your plan already. I've been watching this thread for a while and I'm loving it so far can't wait to see the cowl finished.

because greasers care about their hair and bruce wayne loves his pompadour lollol:lol

okay well there has been enough feedback to get myself armed im thinking either

im liking the last one because its more simplistic

 

[flamingBurrito]

Awesome concept. I look forward to the finished costume.

THANKS!


Quick update Going to the hardware store to start making my beat pipe which will not be bat themed unless I burn an Insignia into it, Color scheme is either metal with patina rub and buff or copper with rust rub n buff

I love both of the knife designs but really dig the first one.

 

[BladeRunner]

I like both knives but there is no question that they are modern.

 

[joshspiderman23]

I'm thinking maybe bypass the knives and work on the pipe, what do you guys think, I dont want to many props but just enough for pics/poses

 

[Amish Trooper]

I think a type of batarang of sorts is iconic.

 

[joshspiderman23]

started on the bat pipe going to wrap a part of it in a bat emblem leather, handle will be wrapped in black tape wrap. color scheme will be a weathered copper with patina on edges and warn parts, might run some black over it too.

 

[joshspiderman23]

got the pipe and belt finally done

 

[frazervarney]

I am loving how this is looking! Can't wait for the finished costume.

 

[roy_draven]

[kcr7pr]

Being a fan of all things 1950's this is one superb build thats got my full attention.

This is coming along nicely!!

Looks great!

Something I thought of for the pipe grip is to cut out bat logos in polystrene or something similar and wrap over in cloth hockey grip tape to get this effect:

yeah I was thinking the same. do a bat emblem up in leather dyed black, plus handle wrap

Or make it in felt, and soak it in mold making rubber dyed black.
