Rockabilly Batman

May 18, '14, 9:37 AM

I was really inspired by this "elseworlds" greaser Batman series of artwork from Denis Medri.

So this is what happened...

The jacket is a modified Fonzie jacket, of course. The jeans, combat boots and T-shirt are all CTVT and the body is a rocking Type S. The head is a modified THE BATMAN head I got cheap on ebay worked on with craft foam. Oh, and I made the utility belt from pleather and little studs. It goes all the way around his waist and I think the nice parts might be in back. Oh, well.

He wields a steel pipe for justice. Not exactly a batarang, but...

You wants some?

Thanks for looking and feel free to leave comments. I love comments. Love them.

Very different but interesting take on Batman. Haven't seen this artwork before, but the character you made looks just like it. Nicely done.
