Bane Costume (Black Jacket) For Midnight Premiere

[BREAD WARRIOR]

Started this a while back with the intention of doing it on a budget (aside from the mask) but as time went on I was able to spend more and more money but I didn't have enough time do the version with the vest so I went with his black military coat look. This is pretty much what I'll wear to the premiere except I'm gonna weather my boots some more and possibly add a strap. The jacket is from Express (just added a belt) and the boots I picked up from a military surplus and my pants are Emerson Gen 2 (a little mad I couldnt get the "banepants" pants but I think these are fine) and the mask (my favorite part) was made by a guy on the Superherohype forum and I firmly believe this is the best mask available but that's just my opinion. Overall I've very happy with how it turned out (especially since I changed from Prologue Bane to this in a week). Thoughts?

What I was going for:

Not to crazy about the pants color, you should try dying them perhaps black? Or go with black BDU's if you can't dye those, because I know some materials are resistant. Overall though, your costume is fantastic, I love it!

 

[BREAD WARRIOR]

Thanks dude! And actually the pants are black. I know it doesn't look like it some of them but they are definetley black lol.

 

[The-Clayster]

Pretty good costume, buddy.

Looks good! Try to shave you're head and maybe find a other beld buckel

Nice Job!
If you're going to get pix at the premiere, get into it and make your eyes angry and disturbed. The eyes in your pictures are kind and soft.

 

[BREAD WARRIOR]

Thanks everyone! And yeah I noticed that after I took the pictures but I really couldn't focus (it was about 100 degrees when I took these) and I honestly just wanted to take everything off because of how hot it was but thankfully the weather be much better for today and I'll be inside. So today will probably consist of me practicing eye expressions in front of the mirror before the movie lol. But I might a few more up after.

Costume looks great, are you eventually going to try to match the belt material to the jacket? it would make it look like a part of it more and not something youve added to it

 

[BREAD WARRIOR]

Thanks and yeah I've looked around but I have a feeling I'll have to get it custom made since its not a very common belt material. And I literally changed my idea from prologue Bane to this in a week and I honestly I lucked out on the jacket lol and the belt I already had so I threw it together in time for the premiere. I also want to eventually get a vest but I haven't seen any that really match it enough to warrant a purchase (except yours haha).

Figured I'd post a picture from the actual night I wore it out. It was a blast had tons of people come and ask for pictures and all the people I went with didn't realize how serious I was when I told them about it a while back. Haha

 

[BREAD WARRIOR]

Thanks! I'm actually hoping to start version "2.0" so hopefully if everything works out I'll be able to start fairly soon and it will be the version with the vest and brown coat and more than likely be a total revamp. New everything even mask.

 

[codyy]

where did you get the mask?

 

[BREAD WARRIOR]

From a member on the Superherohype forums. He was recently banned and no one has been able to get in touch with him. So as of right now he no longer is making masks.

 

[codyy]

damn it looks so good lol. how much did the pants cost you?

 

[BREAD WARRIOR]

About $80.

 

[codyy]

I saw the jacket for 198. Was just in the mall and thought i'd look

 

[BREAD WARRIOR]

Yeah it's not a bad deal. I had a coupon so I got it for about $160 and plus I'll wear it casually too.

I tried it on the other day,it really is a pretty nice jacket
