Switched out the yellow oval for Bat Texan's new 52 emblem, added a few capsules to the belt.

This shot was at a charity event last March (the fellow playing Spider-Man was spot-on in personality and presence...) The Reevz Code of the Knight cowl is a fantastic piece, but it was a bit large on me. My sense was this project was not quite finished. Tom's 52 cowl and gauntlets floored me when he first posted them, and they fit me just right. I will incorporate his Hush emblem for my Lee Bermejo suit when it is completed but the Eastbay compression will need to serve the fast approaching Halloween season. The pleather cape has flown to another home. Now the lighter Bob Kieffer cape takes its place. The last original piece to go are my Gotham 100's. They served their purpose, but I really liked this 52 design for boots. A great artist in Illinois was recommended and these are the beauties he made. I could not be happier with the results. Hopefully, I am done for awhile... nondisclosed_email@example.com (dijon30)Sun, 14 Oct 2012 21:36:47 +0000 Re: Dijon30's Comic Suit: Finally Geared Uphttps://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2281952,from=rss#post2281952https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2281952,from=rss#post2281952 :toocool :cheers cool shots! nondisclosed_email@example.com (Dave Batman)Thu, 17 May 2012 23:04:13 +0000 Re: Dijon30's Comic Suit: Finally Geared Uphttps://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2281919,from=rss#post2281919https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2281919,from=rss#post2281919Look like you stepped out of a comic book. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Lrcrow)Thu, 17 May 2012 16:03:30 +0000 Re: Dijon30's Comic Suit: Finally Geared Uphttps://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2281910,from=rss#post2281910https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2281910,from=rss#post2281910Excellent changes my friend! :up nondisclosed_email@example.com (Ibnzbass4)Thu, 17 May 2012 12:23:30 +0000 Re: Dijon30's Comic Suit: Finally Geared Uphttps://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2281898,from=rss#post2281898https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2281898,from=rss#post2281898Thanks Gents. The one thing I will be adjusting is the torso. I tried my sonar chest under the compression suit for definition, but it did not stay put very well (flaired out the sides). Also going to look at a belly buster this morning. Quote:TheBatman89 wrote: Looking good bro! Love the whole get up... The one thing I would change is the gloves...
