Is that the LOONEY TUNES BATMAN SUIT ?
New some help identifying this suit. It looks like a black painted Sonar suit with Panther buckle and gloves. Same as seen in the Looney Tunes"Back in action "- movie.Does anybody have information on the suit? This is some information on the auction page where it was sold:"Val Kilmer "Batman" sonar batsuit ensemble from Batman Forever. Original (6) piece batsuit ensemble (1) cast foam latex cowl with 2-internal cast resin ear shape inserts and 3-velcro patches for attaching to suit, (1) muscled torso piece of foam latex molded over thin neoprene featuring metal hardware on upper sternum for attaching cape, zippered sleeve cuffs, molded codpiece, and zipper back closure, retaining internal handwritten "VK #V7B" in silver ink, (1) pair matching leggings with integral spandex sleeveless upper (cut during production), stirrups and zippered hems, with zipper and velcro back closure, retaining internal handwritten "VAL [crossed out]" and "#V4B Alex Daniels", (1) voluminous black vinyl cape with velcro for attaching to suit, including (1) pair Val Kilmer Batman panther suit black leather gauntlet gloves with zippers at wrists and 3-resin fins mounted with metal hardware to internal plastic strip, right glove retaining internal handwritten, "#2" in silver ink, and (1) Val Kilmer Batman panther suit polyurethane belt with cast resin buckle with snap closure. "
I love the look of the suit , the combination looks great and I believe they even used the Clooney cape clips, but not sure on that.I think to remember that Alex Daniels is the one in the suit.

Re: Is that the LOONEY TUNES BATMAN SUIT ?
I can't say for sure but one thing I know is as far as hobby prop makers are concerned Lou Moritz was the only guy ever to make the belts with a urethane belt/resin cast logo. I actually have his molds but (for the Panther belt, got rid of the Clooney a while ago, Jamie got that) but I wouldn't even attempt the process. Lou was a master craftsman and I never quite figured out how he managed to pull off that process. (I just don't have that much patience).

It is the complete Looney Tunes suit, all original pieces. According to a friends source it is also the suit Christian Bale and others wore for their Batman Begins screen test.

Great suit! Love the metallic black.
I think the design is more acceptable today than back then because of where they took the 2 Nolan suits.
