Hey now... don't mind me. I love seeing different Batman customs, regardless of what style or level of work. And that's not to say that yours is inferior to any others.

I like what you did here. My only suggestion is to work on the cape, either for this one or any other Batman you might do in the future. For me, the cape will really make or break this character. Not that you have to do what I did for mine, because let's face it - it's a bit over the top. You could easily make a smaller, better suited cape for this guy. Start looking at different materials for starters. I know it's easier to grab the typical factory capes from various lines, but honestly, they're usually too thick AND too opaque.

I used a black bandana for mine, because it's very thin and imo, better scaled for the fig. I also picked up some material that's very close to the bandana's thickness, but has a tighter weave making it less "see through". I opted for the bandana in the end, but there's a little more to it than meets the eye. But that's my new trade secret, and another story for another time.

Lmk if I can help you with anything, Batman or otherwise.

Dunn dunn, that is a sweet batman. On a side-note, everyone does things different, that's the beauty of this habit, errr I mean hobby, I love seeing everyones take on whatever it is they're doing, no one figure is better than the other, that's why we need people showing what they can do, that's why this is a community, everybody contributes, sorry for the sermon, but that is a downright good batman, good words Obi;) .

100 percent agree, don't care how many times I see the same character, always something to take away from it and cool to see other peoples take on them. Gloves, boots and symbol all make this a solid win for me!
