Well, I finally debuted my Batman costume for Halloween, so I thought I'd share some pics. I don't consider this costume "finished", but at least it's a start. The tights need work, and the cowl will be upgraded (It's the Mattel cowl), but so far, I'm really enjoying it.



You might notice small white lines inside the eyeholes… those are lenses from an old pair of glasses velcroed into the inside of the mask. I am blind as a bat, and don't wear contacts well. Fortunately, the fuzzy lining of the Mattel cowl was perfect for velcro to hold the lenses in place.
Overall, I'm beyond happy. I am critical of the flaws, but honestly, I am overjoyed to have this. I am so fortunate to have the means to own this costume. It is the fast track to happiness.
And for fun, here is a pic of me with the Wife and Daughter!

Here's a chronological history of my Batman costumes over the years. Enjoy!
