Wouldn't a fiberglass cowl just be asking to be cast ? What's the logic ?
Batman Returns Props, anyone else see these ?

I've seen figerglass cowls of Burton's Batman done before, but I haven't seen a display like those.
As far as I know, no one's ever recasted a figerglass (but I don't buy props from eBay).

I used to have the screen used original grapple gun that he uses to dislodge a part of the wall onto the villain. The body was resin with some steel inserts and very crudely painted with grey painted string as wire, the actual brass harpoon though was very very intricate and well made, but one of the barbs as bent and broken on the end. It was stolen in a burglary in 1998, along with loads of Returns props.
That a recast of the SD Studios speargun model! Same innaccuracies and everything.

I know that the cowl was shown at SDCC this year, and someone was saying that it seemed smaller than it should be. So, casting it might be a problem. But, as far as recasting a fiberglass cowl, there are several people who did that with the Knoble Collection TDK cowl. I see no reason why this one won't fall into the same recasting hands, except the possibility of it being too small.

I think the concept is cool. I would love to have that bust... just hoping they'd do a first movie Batman cowl in the same way, so they can be a pair.
That is just too much base for the grapple gun. The prop totally get's lost in it.
Man, that REALLY awful. I know it was almost twelve years ago, but I bet it hurts the same.
If I gave you a list of everything, you'd be sick. The grapple gun was probably number ten on the list of most prominent props from the film, the total amount of props was about 25. My favourite was the clamp grapple that you don't see much on screen from the end scene, beautifully made solid all metal piece. I've not seen the film since.

Man that sucks. Some people are just put on this world to ruin it for others.
Some men just want to watch the world burn :confused

yeah that's separates the men from the boys in the art world.
They mean it's screwed down, it 'could' be removed. I don't think it's all cast in one piece base and all.

This?
No, not that one. It was used at the end when Batman slides into Penguins lair. It was a big black mole grip style tool with the spear/grapple on one end. You see Bats fire the grapple, then turn around and clamp the other end onto some stantion before sliding down. You really don't see it onscreen, but like that double ended speargun, it was a true work of art.

The cowls I saw at the Batshop and eventually tried on were DARN small so it wouldn't surprise me if they were the same size as the original.
Cool products.
Horrible story of the stolen props. I'd be inconsolable after something like that.
Thanks for sharing those details of the original.
