Batman pulp style

[thunderbolt]

I can't seem to leave Batman alone, got a new head cast lately and totally redid him AGAIN! really wanted to go for something with a bit of a pulp feel and change up the color scheme a bit. Originally I was going to ditch the black altogether and go with a brown and grey scheme more like a real bat. It looked good on paper, not so good on a figure. So back to black for the cape and cowl. I've always liked the light blue of the 1966 movie dvd box art. THe brown did worm its way in with the gloves and gaiters. THe only leftovers from the last Batman are the cape and trunks.





and a shot of the belt




Next up will be the coldest villain Batman has ever known.

Great figure Bolt ... really digging His Emblem.

Awesome looking Batman,that belt is really cool!

[Type3Toys]

Cool take on an iconic hero.

Sweet! I do love the "pulpy" feel of it. Maybe you should try shooting some black and white or sepia toned photos in a darkened room with a single strong light source (bat signal anyone?). Then he'd look really cool!

awesome Tbolt style!!!!

If Farley is the king of werewolves, you my friend are the KING of Batmen. Love all your custom incarnations.

I like your customs. They always come out so great. I love the belt on this one and all the gadgets you gave him.

Awesome! Great work! I love that belt and that head looks...familiar. I always love to see your customs, reminds me of what is possible. Just hate to think of you destroying all those Batmen as you rebuild the latest. Like painting over a DaVinci! Amazing work. Makes me want to customize something.

[sprytel]

Your customs have such a unique style. Very cinematic. Another great take on Batman.

T-Bolt, I always love seeing your take on characters. This one is no exception. I'm digging it, big time.

Awesome work, Joe!! That is one devil of a Batman head sculpt too!!

Love the sculpt, love the belt, love the batemblem, not so sure about the light blue suit tho.
A shame you completely destroy the previous versions, a group shot of all your Batmen would've rocked
