Hi guys!
First time posting, but I've been a lurker forever, there's such inspiring work on here everyday, I felt it was about time I contributed!

I always felt disappointed with Mattel's Batman offerings, so I decided to improve it a bit to fit the "CLASSIC" title...

I gave him the DC Universe small male torso to give him that more lean look, the way Neal Adams drew him. Plus the DC Superheros Series 1 Batman hands & DC Superheroes Series 3 Batman arms for the extra articulation and stitching detail.

The cape has been cut and sewn with twisty ties placed inside the edge to get some really cool dramatic poses like Batman should be able to! It was tricky fiddly business, and I don't plan on doing a cape like this again anytime soon lol.

Then it was all given a new lick of paint to bring out the details and put some shading onto him.

More pics are in the auction listing.
Hope you guys like :)
Cheers

Hey thanks man, I was really happy with how it turned out. On my recent batman custom I used a plastic cape though, and now I'm not sure which I prefer lol

Thanks a lot, I miss the look and vibe of the silver age too, not a big fan of his new look to tell you the truth. The blue just needed some wash and highlites to match the finish of the fabric. Cheers
