Classic Comic bat costume advice

Forgive me for asking what may seem a basic question to the pros:

I need to make a bat suit in time for Halloween , I have been a long time lurker here and finally require help. The cowl is sorted, I have ordered a magnificent Returns cowl that really will be the centre of the costume. But I want a classic spandex look for the rest of the costume, with bulky belt and black underpants " on top " look. Does anyone have any advice on

A) what grey undersuit to use

B) what to make the bat logo out of and how to get it on too the suit

C) any links that could help

Thank you so much :)

I found a full body suit at walmart, but that was back in September. I am also not sure they have it in gray, unfortunately. As for the bat symbol, you could either make it out of foam and sew it on? I know hobby lobby has foam that could be used for this. Otherwise make it out of something with more movement, like fabric.

Just some thoughts, but you're cutting it kind of close unfortunately.

yep bro, the bros over at botb are a helpful bunch for techniques, how to's, materials and such, they are just a bit touchy when people start asking about buying stuff on the board. ;)

Here's my suit. Just a morph suit with the head cut off. Rubber boots from a horse riding shop. Women's opera glove with fins attached. I bought a batman belt buckle a yellow leather belt then attached pouches from the rubies bat belt. The hardest part was sewing the cape. It took forever (no pun intended) to learn how to sew.
