Got the cape cut out!
Well here is the cape cut out of the material. I hope to sew this weekend possibly. It looks good so far. The only piece missing is the collar in these pics.
The difference in color is to show the two patterns. I will use the below mentioned separating zipper for the neck.

Decided to go red.
Finally in 2009's stuff.
So, after much thought, I decided to start a Robin. I want it done BEFORE San Diego Comic Con. I now have the shirt, pants, mask, gloves, and trunks. Now all I need is Boots, cape, emblem/strips for the shirt, and that's about it.
My investment so far: 59$. Estimating total to be about 110$
Here is
the mask
I also made custom pleather pouches, using pleather, superglue, a button, swatch of velcro, and a wire coat hanger.
Pattern is two pieces.
Base:
Second piece:
Final product.

I decided to go another route.
So, after temporarily stopping progress on my Dead End, I begun with the 1989 Batman suit. I got the gloves(Olympia 103's), and immediately started the modifications.
Original Glove:
Top.
Palm.
I then had my mom sew some Pleather (faux leather) together into a pattern I drew up.
Not quite done yet though...
I then bought suede, and cut it in the shape of the palm. I also bought brads, and glued them on to the suede, and then glued to the palm. I also added velcro, so the top and bottom don't move separately.
Completed!

Upgrade!
I then had my birthday a few days after these were shot. I got my shirt screen printed with the Batman Dead End emblem, and a Reevz Dead End cowl. I cannot vouch more for the quality and looks of it.
Here's the shirt.
And now the entire thing. Ignore the belt
. Also, a close-up of the cowl.
