      darklord, I had been following this thread over on Superherohype and had been waiting patiently for an update. I am so glad to see a more detailed thread here. I must say that these are absolutely unbelievable costumes. The quality of the work you have put in is amazing! Great job! I can't wait for more updates!

        Holy crap, I can't get over how friggin cool these costumes are. I enjoyed the stage show Batman Live, but I definitely wanna see this too. This looks like it could be even better than Batman Live

          Wow! Thanks so much, buddy!! That's one heck of a compliment!

          I doubt we are going to have as much "flash and pizzaz" as BATMAN LIVE had. But i am confident that we are going to tell a powerful and compelling story in the creation and development of the Batman Mythology.

            “The Five Foot Rule”?? I can’t say I was familiar with that particular rule, so I looked it up. From Wordpress.com:

            “The 5 foot rule basically states that mistakes or rough un-finished details which can’t be seen from 5 feet away are irrelevant because no audience member will be any closer to the costume – great for theater…”

            So to answer your question: I guess I really DON’T believe in the 5-foot rule.

                Well, yeah... I mean, like Ton Hanks said in "A League of Their Own": "Anything worth doing is worth being done right". LOL!

                All "a-buzz"???" Heh! I get it! Nice reference to our good friend Mr. Meredith!

                      **PRODUCTION UPDATE**

                      The production of the student stage play “Fathers of the Dark Knight” continues to march forward! But the production has grown into something much bigger and more elaborate than my original concept.

                      As of last month, The Joker’s adorable (but twisted) hench-wench HARLEY QUINN was cast in the personage of a highly energetic and very talented 17 year-old Bronx high school student. She and I are working closely together to really nail Harley’s accent and dialect and fighting style. Make-up and costume test photos to follow.

                      One final photo shoot (for fund-raising glamor shots) is scheduled for February 16th. This shoot will feature ALL of our fantasy characters (except The Joker and The Penguin who will be cast closer to the start of rehearsals), together for the first time in one shoot!

                      Since my last update, I have been hard at work creating (or gathering together) more props and costumes for the play (Re: Final utility belt and updated boots for The Batman, Ravenwood leather masks for Robin, Riddler and Harley Quinn, updated boots for Nightwing, The Riddler’s final question mark staff (actually gold-mirrored this time, Harley Quinn’s giant mallet and pop cork gun… too much to list).

                      This production has now teamed with Bronx Heroes Comics (of New York City) to begin a concentrated sponsorship drive (through Kickstarter, Fundrazar, USA Projects.org., and the Bronx Arts Council). These efforts begin in earnest at the end of February / early March to raise the necessary production capital to reserve a theater venue and begin rehearsals! Many of you have already friended me on Facebook (Roberto Williams of Brooklyn, NY), so that you can be kept abreast of opportunities to donate to the production. Well, stay tuned because that’s coming up really soon now.

                      Okay… I present HARLEY QUINN
