Holy Matrimony! The greatest wedding gift...

Post by Ben Bentley »

As some of you know, after years of back and forth I moved to California at the start of 2022 and on April 29th I finally got to marry my now wife, Syd.

Little did I know until the Big Day came around, but she had colluded with our good friend Chuck Williams to snag me the last of the "Ultimate" cowls that WS2 would be offering publicly, complete with original fabric.

Well yesterday was another big day of sorts, sadly I tested positive for Covid, but... ding dong... my Cowl arrived!

I've been a huge an of Chuck and Lynne's work for more than a decade and over the years, I had never quite justified treating my self to one of their creations as I always had a flight/trip/piece of camera equipment that I was saving towards.

To say i'm on Cloud 9 is an understatement, i've worn and ogled many of Chuck and Lynne's cowls over the years, but to finally have this one with my favourite paint job and nuances with my name inside it to boot?! Out of this world!

Thank you once more Chuck, Lynne and Syd, from the bottom of this Bat-Fan's heart! <3

Congrats on your cowl, hello to Syd, and I hope you get well soon. I had both a mild and severe case. I hope and pray that yours is the former. In the meantime, enjoy that awesome cowl!

Congratulations all around, Ben! I hope your married life is happy, and that you're sporting your cowl in good health for many years to come. (On that note, may your COVID symptoms be mild and your recovery swift.)

Super huge mega congrats Ben-- that's a terrific story and I couldn't be happier for you. That's a spouse that gets you and when you have that from the start you're in for a long and happy marriage.

As for Covid, Veronica and I both got it right after Easter-- in my case I got it shortly after a quick bought with an awful flu, Covid itself was no fun but it was mostly like the worst head cold you've ever had, lasted about a week or ten days. We'd burned all our masks March the previous year and since we both work from home we just stayed put and relied on friends and delivery folks. We only missed about a day and a half of work but it took a while to feel like ourselves again.

Get plenty of rest, drink a lot of fluids and get some California sun and you'll be back on your game in no time.

You are SO WELOME Ben!!!
But I think you are taking this "The man who has everything" a bit too far!!
I hope your covid symptoms pass quickly my friend.

This was just a drop in the bucket compared to all the help and support you and Scott do for us Bat-Fans!
Thank you so much!!!
Congratulations and I wish you both a wonderful life together,
Chuck...

The original and of course the Williams version cowls are the coolest things ever! Look at the flat black against the blue. I love the hard shell. Dang that looks nice. This is why this is my Batman of choice.

The costumes were so top shelf. No other Batman in cinema has gotten close to this design. Adam looked great from every angle and his head turns. Lol

I never get tired of looking at pics like these.
