Kickstater For “Real” Batman Suit
Wanna dress up in a Batman suit? That’s easy enough, there are tons of costumes that will do the trick. But a real, functional Batman-suit that is true to the character and actually provides real protection, well you may have to make one yourself.

And that’s what Philadelphia native and PhialU Industrial Design student Jackson Gordon is trying to do through funding site Kickstarter, get the funds to build his own fully functional practical Batman Suit inspired by the Dark Knight Trilogy. From Gordon’s Kickstarter page:
"It’s important to stress that this is not a costume, but rather an actual fully functioning replication of what a person would want in a modern type combat suit. This suit is not being designed to take on gunfire, as that would cost exponentially more and is above my skill set, but rather towards hand to hand combat and weapon defense against bats, knifes, and other club like objects. I don’t plan on replicating his additional gear, such as the grapnel gun and smoke grenades, just the protective suit itself. While creating a protective suit is not all that difficult in and of itself, applying a theme to said suit, in this case batman, leads to a lot of interesting design possibilities, as there is a plethora of base materiel to consider for inspiration and styling guidelines to stick to to make the character recognizable"
He certainly seems to have a clear, reachable goal in mind. And the kickstarter has a pretty reasonable goal of $1,000, which Gordon has already gotten more than halfway to several days in. Interested in seeing a Batman suit in the real world? Go ahead and donate!
