Another DOJ Batfleck Build WIP

I thought I would post some pictures documenting my BVS: DOJ Batfleck suit.

I ordered a DOJ pattern from etsy and had it printed and sewn from zentai-zone. Then came the painstaking task of puff-painting the little lines onto it.

Next, I ordered a Rubie's belt off of Amazon. I removed the pieces from the cheap belt it came with, repainted the parts, and reattached them to a 2" Dickie's web belt.

I bought an emblem from TygerStoneFX and attached it to my suit. I had to saran wrap my chest, which felt super weird, because I haven't made a mannequin yet.

Waiting for the glue to dry...

Then I modified some Gotham 100 boots by painting the toes gold and then weathering them. I attached some foam on top to hide the transition from black to gold and to give it more of an accurate look.

For the gauntlets, I started off by using the template from the foam cave, but I wasn't really satisfied with the straight, cone-shape they had.

Instead, I made a curved template and modified their fin pattern to follow the lines of the new forearm.

I ordered a cowl, which ate up most of my budget, that should be coming in soon. A friend of mine is working on sewing the muscle suit, and she will also be helping me when I tackle the cape.

I'll update later with more pictures as I get more things finished. This is my first big costume, and I welcome any feedback you guys have.
 
My muscle suit came in and I really love how it looks under the suit. However, I didn't do anything for the calves so my legs looked really small compared to the thighs. I stitched my own pockets for calf muscles, but I don't have a picture of those yet.

In between waiting for different parts of my costume to be finished, I was working on a Robin costume for my girlfriend. Unfortunately, I don't have many in progress pictures.

I was basing her costume off the Robin outfit from Arkham Knight. Her corset, gauntlets, shin guards, and belt are all made of foam. I still need to weather her cape a bit.

For the staff, I just used some PVC pipe and a quick braid of paracord for the center section.

Both costumes look cool. Why didn't you base her Robin on the costume in the Batcave from Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice? Just curious.
 
Cape will cover your calves. I wouldnt worry about it

I know it would from the back, but the boots I got just had huge calf openings creating a large gap all the way around. I didn't want them to look like galoshes. Haha.

Thanks! No real reason other than I was replaying Arkham Knight at the time and I thought it looked cool.
