The Batman

ShawnDustin · 10-29-2011, 07:37 AM

Batman has been one of the most popular comic book characters out there since time immemorial. His popularity got a big boost recently thanks to the Arkham games which are awesome. That leads me to my Batman which was heavily based on the costume designs from the series. He's not too robotic/padded yet he doesn't look like he's wearing tights. Rather than the black monotone of the movie costumes, I chose to go with the dark blue, dark grey and black combo. I also sculpted the logo and chose to put the iris in the eyes because it's more realistic to his costume and character. The blades on the arms were made from bobby pins. I'm happy with the end design and proud to have him in my collection. Cheers!

Recipe:
Head - MU Constrictor w/ sculpt

Upper Arms - BnB Mr. Kennedy
Lower Arms - ROC Flash w/ sculpt
Lower Legs & Feet - IM2 Advanced Armor IM w/sculpt

Cape - Rubber Gloves and Marvel Legends Dr. Strange

Best MU scale Batman i've seen, great work once again!

That is very nice. So you made the cape from combining Dr. Strange's cape and a cut up rubber glove? That is new to me . I really like the Build and Brawl donor parts.
Your sculpting and paint work is outstanding.

Thanks guys! Nope the right arm is fully articulated like the left one. The cape looks a lot like the new japanese batman fig coming out.

That's really cool bro, the cape is especially awesome!

These look awesome, they need some bad guys to fight now, or a small batphone!

Great work on the cape! Always like to see your DC stuff! Still love that GL too!!

Now this i can get behind. Batman and Batgirl are terrific but the hal jordan head is horrifing and i cant understand why you did that. Everything from the neck down works tho.

Good custom there dude. Though only thing I find odd is coloring of cape and cowl. Is it intentionally suppose to be like that? Either way it looks good none the less.

ShawnDustin · 11-02-2011, 10:50 PM

Yup! purposely made the colors different. I kinda like it that way
