Here's mine with the most recent changes, New to me Reevz FX cowl, and Artsee1 fins
View attachment 203833

Question for all of you using the comic style cowls that fit over the cape - how are you affixing the cape to the cowl so they stay secure? I have been thinking about either Velcro or magnets but would love to hear some suggestions! My Reevz cowl is on the way and I'm not happy with the attachment method I used (snaps) for my Begins cowl.

Mine cape is sewn closed so that the hole is just big enough for me to fit my head through

Here's the work-in-progress on my comic-style Batman. The first iteration was a glorified Halloween costume - Thanks to this forum, I'm stepping it up!

This is what I started with:
-Cowl: Licensed TDKR Cowl (fit was horrible - I have a 22.5" head and the cowl measures at 25". I had to wear a ski mask underneath it!
-Cape: Cloth cape custom made - easily my favorite part of this costume. Very professional looking with all finished edges and the signature Batman points at the bottom. One issue for me is that I needed a cape long enough (I'm 6'4" with boots on!)
-Suit: Grey bodysuit with black bat sewn on
-Shorts: Matman lycra wrestling briefs - Made in my hometown of Tacoma, WA. I used the same briefs in red for my Superman costume last year.
-Belt: The horrible plastic licensed utility belt. What a mistake.
-Gloves: Rubies licensed Batman gloves. I love them except for the huge taper at the end - I'm a fairly lean guy and my forearms were swimming in them!
-Boots: Funtasma by Pleaser "hero" boot - they are so terrible. My calves are swimming in them.


Halloween was actually a blast - my best friend was the Joker from The Dark Knight Returns and my girlfriend was a pretty amazing Poison Ivy. I was unhappy with my costume, so for Emerald City comic-con I'm making these changes.

-Cowl: Reevz Hush cowl in black is on order
-Cape: Sticking with my original cloth cape.
-Suit: Same grey bodysuit
-Shorts: Same Matman briefs
-Belt: 10 Pocket belt dyed a golden yellow, and making my own buckle.
-Gloves: Same Rubies gloves but modified
-Boots: Gotham 100s on order!

On the gloves: Maybe I'm the only one, but I dislike the "movie-style" gauntlets on comic costumes. Since I am using Hush as my main inspiration, I don't want to ruin it by putting movie gauntlets on it. Also I think the two-piece gauntlet-over-gloves really doesn't match the spirit of the comic. Which leads me to the Rubies gloves - pretty much perfect except for the flared openings. So I went about getting rid of some of the extra space:

Measured the amount I wanted to take out (almost two inches!)


Tried stitching this on the sewing machine but it kept binding, so I did it by hand with upholstery thread.

Looks pretty good for a hand stitch I think


Complete



So here's where I'm at now - I can't wait to receive my Hush cowl and start working on the new belt. I'm so happy I found this forum!

I prefer the classic tv series version of the suit, Adam said it best... It was Pure west baby!! lol no muscle suits no excess padding it was snug it did the job and it was damn convincing, I don`t remember any member movement like in the Christopher Reeve superman suit in the first film.

 

[behindthemask86]

i agree, i am actually getting an adam west batmnsuit made.

Someone used to sell this kind of cowl in Ebay back in 2009.
