1966 Batman Batsuit (Adam West) - Batman Arkham Knight
so per picture -
I am going to be doing this batsuit from the current Batman Arkham Knight game. I have a few other costumes planned, however, I am instead do this and not the Batgirl since the Cowl is hard to find.
Anyway, I am planning on getting the one from CosplayHouse; however, with the pic I am going to show you batfamily members, is that I will be editing it very closely. Cowl and Utility Belt will be changed for proper cowl and utility belt as well as the logo patch.
What do you think batfamily?

Re: 1966 Batman Batsuit (Adam West) - Batman Arkham Knight
If you are changing so many parts I would advise against going this route. Instead source an undersuit using sports compressions tops and bottoms would work, trunks should be fairly easy to find, boots can be painted so any generic black superhero boot could work and capes pop up on ebay from time to time or maybe see a local seamstress.
My fear is you get what you pay for often with these cosplay sites.
Please don;'t view my caution as a negative view on your project, it is not. I would love to see you do this I would hate to see you lose money doing it by having to replace everything.

I totally understand where you're coming from.
Though looking at it, the only thing that really needs changing, is the cowl. The logo and utility belt can be used until I get the chance to change them.

There is a pretty awesome 66 belt template over at the Foam Cave.

I think what he's saying is that while the image is showing you what's being offered, once you get this in hand, you may find yourself disappointed with the quality fabric and such, to the point where you'd be changing everything up.
But if you have a limited budget and want to piece it just as is, it might be a good start. Who knows until you finally get the stuff in hand. Unless stated otherwise, these photos are almost always of prototype costumes that were made of better material than whats actually in the package.
I've purchased a few items from similar producers, only to be very disappointed with the unforgivable quality and sometimes won't even look as good as the picture itself.
Also, keep in mind, Cosplayhouse.com apparently tailor makes their stuff and offers absolutely NO refunds if you're not happy with your suit. They have a shaky reputation both good and bad, so be aware of this before making the dive. :up

Re: 1966 Batman Batsuit (Adam West) - Batman Arkham Knight
You're just going to spend so much trying to make it look decent. I don't want to sound discouraging, but I don't think you'll end up happy with the results. There are better ways to do budget builds, and a vast amount of knowledge and experience on this board. Keep looking around, ask questions, many of us are happy to help.

Sorry for late reply, been busy with stuff lol.
But yea, you're not discouraging. I was actually thinking that SINCE (and I use since in big letters cos of this announcement for Arkham Knight), Arkham Knight season pass gets the '89/Returns Keaton batsuit, I may give up on this altogether and try and make the Keaton batsuit instead since I know most of the stuff is either on etsy or eBay :).

Re: 1966 Batman Batsuit (Adam West) - Batman Arkham Knight
Here's a pic of the '89 suit in Arkham Knight
I'm gonna get the '89/Returns suit instead, but working it out, it's come up to this -
Armor ('89 chest & leg/crotch/torso) - £178.02
Cowl (Returns cowl) - £177.41
Boots ('89 boots) - £160.20
Utility Belt (Returns) - £79.98
Cape ('89/Returns) - £187.02
Emblem for Cowl (Returns) - £27.99
Gloves ('89)- £256.32
Undersuit (to glue the armor parts on) - £34.85
It's not bad at all, I will get them in time. However, it'll be not soon :(, though the old saying - Rome wasn't built in a day...and Batman never built his suit in a day!

xD
However, looking at prices, it looks like New 52 batman is the way to go. Argh...why is it that some things are cheaper than others when you want to cosplay as something lol
