Hi everybody,
A friend of mine brought a bunch of people together who resembled the alter-egos of the Justic League. He wants to take a picture of them in and out of costume for some Superhero Photo Competition at our college. He chose me to be Bruce Wayne/Batman in the photos.

I have been working on a Batman Costume for some time (that looks like the one used in the Justice League/Batman Animated Series). Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can make a good looking utility belt (the one from the revised version of the animated series)? Has anyone ever tried? The looks are what count (I don't want it to actually be able to carry stuff like grappling hooks, even though that would be cool :)

If anyone has any suggestions for the cape,cowl, or any other part of the costume, feel free to let me know. Thanks.

Kareem

Well you know some winter jackets have pouches that are buttoned, maybe u can make the puches like that. Use it as a model. One question: how did u start making the coustume? Is it totally out of tights or what?

Yep, the whole suit itself is made out of a dark greyish thermal tight. We are trying to make the cape, cowl, gloves, and boots look shinier, so we're thinking of using Nylon fabrics that reflect a little.

Take care,
Kareem

I suggest you go to an army surplus store if you have one around, and grab a ten dollar pouch belt. Why do you need a Batsuit if you're just Bruce Wayne?
