Elseworld WWII Batman "The Bat" costume

Step 9 Finished

Here is where a picture would be really great. But I'm going to make you wait just like everyone else.

Actually the pants and boots haven't arrived yet, and the Heroes for Charity event is a week away, so as soon as I have them and get some pics I'll put them up.

I decided to put this up now, because all of the stuff that required work was done and could be used for other costumes as well, so happy costuming!

*Update: got the pants and boots(see step 8 for pics). Will be all dressed up on on Oct 14th, and pics will arrive shortly after. I've tried everything on in pieces to make sure it works together, but it's been unusually warm in Chicago for the last few days and I can't bring myself to put it all on at once yet.

*Update: Here it is...

THIS IS AWESOME!!!! im thinking of using some of the elements in this costume to make sort of a "urban commando" looking batman this definately helped me out thanks

Wow! Great job!

What program are you using to rotate the image? It looks like it's just setting the EXIF rotation tag, which isn't respected by any browsers. Apple's Preview works this way, for example. You'll just have to use another program that does it the usual way. Really, Instructables just needs to add a rotation feature for when you upload your images. That would make it easier for everybody.

...i think he just turned the camara to the side...

[WurdBendur]

Obviously, but I meant to rotate it back so it's upright.

[GnomeMaster]

... but its sideways...

[WurdBendur]

Yes, of course it is ... He turned the camera sideways to take a vertical picture. So it came out sideways. Then he tried to rotate it back, and it didn't work. How is that not clear?

I've got two theories. One, Idiocracy is coming true sooner than we thought, or two, you got trolled.

[Ganon1027]

in this case it looks like he got "Gnomed" lol

ITS SILENT BOB HIMSELF!!!

Bravo! Really well made. You should take another shot of you in the same pose as the action figure you show in the Intro Step. I just did a side-by-side and with the exception of some rather small details, I think you really nailed this costume.

[aintMichael]

Thanks. I tried to be as accurate as I could without literally making the whole thing from scratch. I may actually improve it over time, but for now I'm onto my next project. I actually have some more pictures coming but they were taken by other people so I have to wait. The pose is also very weird and awkward to do in real life, but I think I might have one.

Looks wicked, man. Great work.

[aintMichael]

thanks a lot!

[tamashii]

Incredible - can't wait for the final pic. Very original idea too - going with a seldom known version of a popular superhero.

[aintMichael]

Thanks, I am a little concerned about having to explain why I don't look like the movie versions, but I can always just use a smoke bomb and disappear.

[HiddenKenshin]

Damnit, I'm really curious about the result!

[aintMichael]

soon..soon you will see. Soon they will ALL SEE!!!!!! Mwah ha ha !!!!!!
