New 52 Build and Edmonton Expo photos


So this is almost the end of Year One of being Batman for me, and it has been one heck of a ride. An awesome one of course. For my last build of the year, I decided to do a New 52 inspired build. Now I know its not a favourite among most brothers here, but I do have to credit to fellow Canadian brother HamelinGraphix's New 52 suit for inspiring me, so much credit goes to him for this build. It also was influenced by Jason Fabok, Greg Capullo, Kobukiya figures, Arkham Origins and Lee Bermejo's versions of the suit.

I can explain how I built this suit if anyone wants but for now I'm just gonna say where the components come from:

Cowl: Tom (Bat-Texan)
Gauntlets: Hero Craft Creations from Vancouver (9panzer)
Bodysuit: modified Zentai-zone grey metallic
Emblem: Me
Boots: Gotham 100s for now
Cape: from a suit I ordered on Amazon
Gloves: Industrial black latex gloves
Knee pads: Me
Belt: Rubies (upgrading to New 52 Belt from Snakepit Studios soon)

And next time I'm wearing a cup or something to help make it more "decent"…

and here are some of my favourite pics from Edmonton Expo..

Thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way and helped shape this project and got my creative mode going.

Nice batsuit, and great work you did there. Looks like you have had some fun all suited up! I bet the new belt will really upgrade the suit nicely! -Good call on that! :)

I like the texture! Looks like a mix of New 52 and Batfleck

Re: New 52 Build and Edmonton Expo photos


Thanks guys! Yeah it was a fun build but still lots to do. I noticed that too after doing a couple test shots on my phone like the first one above. It was initially really sparkly looking but after a few light coats of Rustoleoum metallic gray it got that cool textured look going. Ill probably be grabbing another one of these if I ever start Batfleck next year.
