Batman dawn of justice advice
Hi my name is John. I have been a member for a while now.I have always marveled at how you guys construct these magnificent costumes.I never joined in simply because I thought that I didn't fit the bill.I'm only 5 foot 3.My son wanted to be robin halloween and he wants me to be batman. I'm going to try to go batman doj.
I wanted to ask you guys for any advice on on making this suit.thanks John :signal

I am 5'7. Not too much taller. Internal shoe lifts are a good thing to try. I have used them. Or you can always use a platform style boot

I'm 5'8 and use police style boots. They give a couple of inches. Lifts sound like a good idea.

I'm 5'7" and have always relied on the cowl ears to add to my height. Unless your like 4 feet tall you're gonna look big as Batman IMO.

Re: Batman dawn of justice advice
Thanks for the suggestions guys :signal
I'm doing my homework on the cowl and I hear nothing but good things from tiger stone fx. I think I might get my cowl from them.

Yes Tigerstone FX's cowl is beautiful and they are a pleasure to deal with, but if you're an accuracy nut then I'd recommend gauntlet fx. Their DOJ cowl is the most accurate IMO

Re: Batman dawn of justice advice
This might sound like a dumb question but how do I get a hold of gauntlet fx?
