My favorite movie Batarang has always been the one from Batman Forever (it reappeared in Batman And Robin). I made one 20 years ago, but there weren't as many reference images as there are now. It turned out alright, but with all the new images and measurements out there I decided to try again.
I considered modeling it for 3D printing, but decided on a more traditional approach. It will be less accurate than modeling it, but more fun.
I have the prototype done. It's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with it. I intend to make a mold and make a few out of plastic. Sadly, I made a mistake on the template and it's still not full size. It's 10.5 inches at the widest point, but it should be 12 inches (that's about 15% too small). Take a look and let me know what you think.
