Re: 1966 Batman costume

Also, has anyone seen one of these before? I thought that this was so cool!! And if anyone knows where to get one, let me know. Even a high resolution large picture would be great!

Re: 1966 Batman costume

I came across this recently. Has anyone made one of these? And what episode was it used in?

Re: 1966 Batman costume

Old pair of Penny Loafers that I had lying around the closet. Now I'm going to convert them into the base of my '66 Batman boots. If you use these, FYI... split the back of them so that it makes it easier to slip on and off after it has been covered.

Re: 1966 Batman costume

I'm just starting on the suit and the shorts. Now I'm going to do a lot of cheating and I'm going to tell you that straight up because it works for me. I'm making it a 2 piece suit with velcro attachments in the middle, with stirrups in the pants and the shirt will have a groin stirrup so that the s...

Re: 1966 Batman costume

We do this all the time with our Ghostbusters thing. We let the kids and adults who want pictures hold the PKE meter. They are always thrilled!

Re: 1966 Batman costume

Here's some close ups of my Batarang holster that I made from scratch. It holds 2 batarangs so that I can let kids hold the smaller one in pictures with me. It's a velcro attachment, unlike the series one. I also added the clip in the back so I can detach it from the belt when I want to sit comforta...

Re: 1966 Batman costume

This is my '66 Batarang. I bought this at a convention probably around 30 years or so ago. This is supposedly made off from one of the original casts used in the series. I got it for a steal at that Con for about $20 because it was kind of chipped up. I also picked up a Green Hornet mask for $10 tha...

Re: 1966 Batman costume

This is my 1966 Batman bomb. I made this entirely from scratch. It is basically one of those large Christmas ornaments, a pill bottle, and a straw with pipe-cleaner around it so that I can put water inside with a small sliver of dry ice to make it smoke. What do you think?

Re: 1966 Batman costume

Thanks Chuck! Appreciate the picture! And you do magnificent work! I got a good look at your patterns one time. That inspired me. :) But I have to go my own route, as I said. I'm not in good shape anymore, and I know how to adjust the patterns I've used accordingly. And thank you for the note on the...

Re: 1966 Batman costume

Okay, I have another question, guys. Does anyone have a good picture of the bottom of the cape? How long are the dags and how wide? Also, the chest symbol, is it 5 or 6 inches? Thanks for the assistance!

Re: 1966 Batman costume

Thanks for the video link! That helps tremendously! I'm actually doing mine from patterns I have used in the past. Due to my size, I know how to adjust it that way and get it to hang right. Too many broken bones. ;) lol I'll keep you posted as I go! This is going to take a while, working in my spare...

1966 Batman costume

I have been working on this project for a long time. Finally got everything together to make it. Things I will not be making include the Cowl and Belt, which are Matty's. I did make the Holster for the Batarang freehand, and the batarang from a kit. I will be making the jumper, cape, gloves, trunks ...
