Awesome Batarang. I got a batarang from the original molds (actually two halves that I still need to glue together and paint up), but since I got the suit I also managed to get a screen used BDE batarang (the Keaton batarang) and a story board

 

[ptgreek]

hmmmm ..the only screen used 'rang is still in our shop. I know the kit you got came from our shop...but not sure about the "screen used" one you have

 

[Batpirisss]

There are copies of the cowl out there.

Nice find!

It looks like the Keaton batarang and according to Sandy it was screen used :confused

I remember this from what was it , 03, 04? This is such a cool suit, and even better find!

Hmmm ..well it doesnt really look like the Keaton one in my opinion...But it is possible ..Sandy did get one of the two..so if you got it from him directly Id say that it is "original" but the main master sits nicely in our shop along with its mold

I own another screen used Batblade, got it directly from Sandy Collora over Ebay. Because of health reasons I would eventually let it go to a good place. 4 digit price tag!

So ptgreek,

What was the cowl made of? I remember watching the behind the scenes video and seeing how it flexes and turns a lot more with his head than what we've seen in the WB movies over the years.

 

[ptgreek]

They were made from foam latex. My guess would be that Clark's is the best preserved as he keeps it in a glass case. Ours is crumbling away ..very fragile

 

[ptgreek]

as for the amount of production made rangs ..well, two full ones were made and a collapsible one. Others may have been cast but never used. I have the mold..a new one was recently made to preserve the batarang in its entire form. The original was a single side cast twice then the two halves were fixed together ..filled ..then finished . the new mold is for a single pieced perfect 'rang

Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't they used foam latex for the cowls in the Full Length movies too?

How come the Dead End cowl has so much more flexibility? Is it just that much thinner?

This is the one I'm talking about

 

[ptgreek]

ahhhh ..the throwing rang ..almost forgot about that ....i forget where that actually came from ...the fighting rang was the only one fabricated for the shoot

Judging by the scratches it was thrown a lot :lol
It may not have been seen on the screen, but it was used in the movie, so I'm happy. :cool
