(NO SOLICITATION). If you're looking to BUY or SELL something, go to the MERCHANDISE SECTION. Even if you're trying to assemble a costume by buying or acquiring different crafted items rather than constructing or customizing them yourself, then it belongs in the MERCHANDISE SECTION. Don't even ask somebody if they're planning on selling something within this section.

Found this shot and noticed the wrinkled empty looking Bat-Belt pouches, never saw the pouches like this before? Most of the time they look flat and filled with something square.
Yep, they used all sorts of things over time from what I can tell.
Adam said they used fabric over wood. The Hardeman belt is leather over wood. Some are just painted wood and some I think were fabric or leather over foam rubber. There are a few belts that look collapsed or rumpled like the foam rotted out and tubes that are curved or bent like rubber.
The "Gold curtain" belt has pouches on the front that don't reflect light the same way as the rest of the belt IIRC. John Brown sent me a shot of one outside that looked like straight painted foam the way the light reads off it. He was standing outside the car so maybe he had soft pouches for the car sequences????
Thanks for posting that photo!!! I haven't seen it that large so I'm loving it!!!
Best,

Quick, Everyone, Flee for your lives, into the street!!!!
The color representation and detail in shots like these make me want to ditch 35mm DSLR and just shoot with medium format film for the rest of my life!
