Well, it's almost 20 years since I, as a 13 yr old boy, made my first Batman costume. Back then, I had to make do with what materials I had to hand. Bin liners here, Dad's black shirt there...

So, to celebrate, a few months ago I decided to make an new, more screen acurate costume. Here it is...

The cape is the faux leather one I mentioned in a previous thread. It's great & looks the part. Excuse the chalk lines, they're going to be cleaned off soon. I got the cowl from a guy who had an artist make it for him.
The belt was from a place in Australia called Hell's Kitchen Costume & Creature shop. They do great customs! The emblem I made from an old mouse mat(!)
The gloves are the original official costume gloves from 89 & the chest is from the official Batman & Robin costume.
All I need to do now is the boots. I'll be sure to upload them when they're done.
Closer look at the Faux leather/Pleather cape.

Without a doubt, this is one of the best Keaton Batman suits made from household items I've ever seen (is that a garbage bag as the cape?). 8)
It sure is! Well several, actually, all taped together! 8)
Thanks for the comments, guys!
Great stuff Rob - ahh the old bin-liner days! ;D
Looks great! A true Batman fan, I love it when we can display this kind of dedication.
Nice outfit ;D
