This guy has been packed away for some time, I forgot about him. I made this around 1980 or so:

I had picked up a beater batman at a flea market, just the figure and suit. I use Plasti-Dip to make the gloves and boots (if you don't know what that is, it is a liquid vinyl/rubber material commonly used to put a rubber/vinyl coating on hand tools) I use pieces of a clear report cover to make the glove "wings". The belt is a folded over yellow cloth strip, with a drawn on buckle, and the "canisters" on the belt were cut from a yellow piece of plastic. The cape is cut from an old shirt. I drew the bat emblem on the chest with a marker, and used the marker to color the cowl black. It seems to have faded from the cowl quite a bit, guess I need to break out the Sharpie
Not much compared to customs now days, but O thought it was cool at the time. I still think it is sort of cool, which is good, because the Plasti-Dip is permanent 
Just thought I would share this prehistoric custom with the forum.
