Coming up with a bat suit of my own

[zmanz]

Anyone agrees this snake eyes armor would look good for a bat suit? I find the Arkham game suit too robotic and bulky

I agree - it is a solid tactical suit and a great design.

So I ordered the brown belt above, and will change the buckle.

Then I found this pretty uneven armour piece, bought it a very long time ago. it’s from the g i Joe snake eyes movie. I’ll cover it with charcoal coloured adhesive fabric. But I have to cut the sides, what would you guys use for that tool wise?

Welp I came across this lovely buckle that could be printed and used tmbut there’s no slit on the sides to slip a nylon belt into it. Great. Guess that could be drilled after being printed.

So I bought this belt.. even at its widest it doesn’t fit lol. Yeah I have to loose weight. And make the belt longer really in a way that won’t show.

Then I found something I bought a very, very long time ago. Wasn’t all that symmetrical, the details were a bit iffy, no disrespect to who made it. I took the exacto knife and made it as symmetrical as possible. Besides I’ll be covering every armor piece with charcoal or black adhesive fabric. And yes it’s a snake eyes armor. Impressively thick, it would really stop a knife for what it’s worth.

My wife seems more open to the idea of me making a suit, since I can justify it by wanting to celebrate Halloween as Batman next year with my daughter.

Hope you’ll forgive for being camera shy. Who knew knee protection could look and fit so well for the shoulders. Yes all the batarangs including the logo are metal. No the belt still doesn’t fit, working on that lol.

A first attempt at something different, we’ll see.
