AwesomeCosplay Pics of the day: Arkham City’s Batsuit


Some guys over at the Effects Lab forums recreated in real life the batsuit from the videogame Batman: Arkham City!!
And it looks as impressive as it sounds!


All of us agreed that this was the best movie suit never done as well as the entire game being the film we all wanted to see. And there were so many aspects to it, including the illusive blue and gray of the new city suit, that we wanted to tackle. Some of the goals on the suit were that we wanted the pieces to be accurate like they walked right off the screen. The whole suit would need to be proportioned to the point that all the pieces worked together to complete the image of the character design. This was tricky due to the fact that no human being in the world is the shape of that guy. Especially the cowl. Also the cross texture of the entire suit must be included and it has to run synced up on all panels as the game suit does, so that all lines intersect at an X throughout the entire suit.
And the guy wearing the suit can even turn his head to look around, like a real cowl rather than like with an impractical helmet (in all of the movies).

Below, some more shots of this amazing costume.



Even the belt was designed down to the detail.
Most impressive!
