Hi everyone, first time costume poster here, thought I'd show off my custom made Riddler costume from the new game Arkham City. A lot of credit goes to my wife for her awesome sewing skills. I ironed on all the question marks, but she did all the sewing.
And you can find the making-of post for the cane HERE.
On Halloween night after work, my wife and I wandered the streets of Gotham (Chicago) and took a ton of pics. These are some of the best ones, and in some of them I made some 'enhancements' to reality. Nothing was planned, we just walked around and got some amazing (and lucky) shots!
So, without further ado - I present, The Riddler takes over Gotham (Chicago)!
Here is the image that started it all: the recreation of the game's official wallpaper.
Standing in Millennium Park looking back into the city, I see the Commissioner has summoned the Bat.
Underneath the El Train in the heart of Gotham.
I decided to leave Batman a message on the marquis at the Chicago theater. And, as you can see, I made the world famous sign more...accurate.
Walking past the Auditorium Theater I see an ad for their upcoming Musical classic. I corrected it for them.
Back in Millennium Park, the Crown Fountains put on a light show, choosing just the right color.
And then an even better color!
If you hit me hard I'll crack, but you can never stop me from staring back. What am I? (Cool shot of me at the Bean in Millennium Park.)
On the corner of LaSalle and Adams in front of the Chicago (Gotham) Board of Trade (not pictured.) This is the actual street where Joker flipped that huge Semi truck a few years back. What a clown...
Holding my neon question mark, I tried to recreate the Riddler Trophy concept art from the game.
Another pose with a Riddler trophy. I would just like to point out I have had this neon question mark for far longer than either game has existed!
A portrait while experimenting with some different lighting conditions.
And last but not least, the funniest part of the night. We were standing on Michigan Ave in front of the Art Institute Museum when this guy comes sprinting past us at full speed. As he passed, he did a double take and stopped to chat (and warn me about causing trouble.) He said his "friend" informed him about me (by his friend, he meant Batman of course...he was really in character.) Really nice guy, we had a few laughs, a handshake and a picture - and he took off again in a full sprint.
Thanks for looking!
