Re: Bat Tights

If you have the top with the snap-crotch, you need to put on the bottoms first, much more comfortable that way.

Re: Some fun at C4 Comic Con this past weekend

Yes, I did not want to be carrying a full sized surfboard in a crowded convention hall. The boogie board worked out perfectly! Fellow Batman Ruby Rinesko in NY did a great take on this gag, it looked like he even got the perfect swimming trunks for it! I had a lot of fun with this and it was even be...

Some fun at C4 Comic Con this past weekend

I also had the pleasure of meeting comic artist Christopher Guest, who applied his talents to an issue of the Bat...

Re: dying to dye my tights

I used the RIT powder for my tights and I was able to do it right the first go. The important thing to remember is don't judge the colour until the tights are completely dry. It always looks way too dark while it is still wet.

Awesome pics! I had actually thought about attending this one but there was a conflict. It would have been neat to have joined you in costume!

Re: How does it feel to wear the cowl?

I have to agree that the heat builds up really fast inside the cowl. Unfortunately a sweatband didn't work for me with my cowl as it was a little too tight then to get on. I solved this problem by getting an Underarmour cap. It's thin and light and really helps to keep sweat out of your eyes!
