One of the most spectacular and recognizable of superhero outfits, the Bat-Suit is a symbol of great power used by Batman to conceal his identity and to frighten the bad guys in equal measure.   There are many versions of the Bat-Suit depicted by different artists and directors and if you are thinking of dressing up as the ‘Caped Crusader’ himself for a fancy dress night, or you want to surprise your child with their very own outfit to play in at home, you’ll want to know the exact make up of an authentic Batman outfit.   Color Scheme

  GQ has posted up a quick article about the costumes appearing in The Dark Knight Rises. They talked with costume designer Lindy Hemming about what we can expect and how some of the ideas came about.   On Bane's outfit:   Bane was meant to look like a cross between a dictator and a revolutionary. I designed the coat myself – it took a year. We took inspiration from a Swedish army jacket and a French Revolution frock coat…

Unlike some of his superhero friends such as Superman, Wonder Woman or Aquaman, one of the main appeals of Batman is that he is a hero who could realistically exist. This is a fact acknowledged in The Dark Knight  and also in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns as Batman gathers a army of imitators who run around, less well equipped than the Dark Knight, taking on crime.   However, no longer is this just limited to comics and films now as a whole army of superheroes have risen up to imitate people such as Batman, Robin and even Kick-Ass and…

When Tim Burton was tapped for the second Batman film, he spoke with Michael Keaton and they both agreed that they had already discovered everything about Batman, with the first film. The studio persisted, and Tim's itch for Gotham had clearly not left him. And the result is a much darker Batman than even the first film captured.This one broke new ground that most Batman films still have not. This is a unique interpretation that cannot be duplicated. Tim Burton’s visual style…

  This seems to be the first image we have of the British cast for Batman Live with their costumes, taken from 'The Evening Standard' newspaper in England- I say British cast because I believe the cast will change for every country, maybe even more regularly in large countries like America. There's also a little more about what to expect in the show but nothing really new.   Overall I think the costumes look pretty good but the bat-suit does remind me a little of "George…

Now we are starting to get a little annoying with the penultimate issue of this story arc. Annoying in that we are still waiting for why this story HAD to be a crossover with “Our Worlds At War.” Now granted, as any reader of comics in recent years should know, just because a crossover banner is splashed over a title doesn’t mean the title is going to have much to do with said event, but still as an isolated tie-in coming out a little less than a decade…

Concept Art: Part One   In this, the third entry of the Year of the Batmen, we will examine what is to represent Batman visually and how the artwork conveys a certain mood, message, or characterization. Since all the printed word for upcoming stories aren’t out yet we’ll look at this artwork with “thumbnail” sketches of each drawing and what I think they exemplify.   The Rags Morales Batman
    This Batman, featured in the “First Wave” comic along with Doc Savage is often depicted in some…

The much anticipated delayed issue number seven of Batman and Robin has finally arrived. The elusive writing talents of Grant Morrison continue to pack the panels with action-packed entertainment. However, the issue also marks the first of three issues done by the brilliant Cameron Stewart. Issue number seven keeps Batman and Robin as the best bat title, but does falter in some aspects.   Issue number seven returns the series to the quirky and ridiculous nature of the first story arc. Morrison returns to writing…
