    Bat-Man!


    back to basics time for Batman, saved the cowl and brown gloves from the last one and redid the shorts, suit, cape and belt. Wanted a more practical looking cape, short enough to not trip over or get all in the way of crimefighting. Emblem is lifted from Paul Pope's Batman.



    Enjoy and expect a Flash and Luthor soon.

    Another nice piece! Great execution. I like your use of the Hasbro Bruce Wayne/Batman figure for this. He captures the right expression and look to sell that concept nicely. Your custom has that vintage, serial-look to him that I really enjoy in the character. Great job! It's always fun to see your customs. Always original. Always creative.

              ^^^Yes. Yes they do.



              I thought maybe I could find a Hot Toys knockoff, but no. An Affleck head would be a cool twist to your Batman line of figures, Joe. Get out there ahead of the curve.

                            He's fantastic looking. I love the cowl. What kind of adhesive do you use on leather?

                              Superglue gel when it goes on spandex, fabric glue on cottony stuff.
