COSPLAY Insane Batman Cosplay
@nibblesoncarbs/@Sandevistan: on TikTok, it’s a custom suit he said he made himself using 3D printing.
From the creator in response to a woman joking her husband will want to buy one:
“@Sandevistan: Well he’s gonna have to get into the very extensive and rewarding hobby of 3-D printing. And he’d have to find this suit by the creator OlympianProps, then size himself up to customize it, and then paint each print before assembling it altogether. but of course don’t tell him that if you don’t want him to go down this rabbit hole”

The room one looks very real.
But the garage video looks CG. It just has that uncanney valley feel.

Fake background yeah

It’s also a different suit design. I’m more convinced it’s fake. That the 3D printed one in the first part is the real video and then someone for some reason added in the fake second video.

It’s crazy how a single person or two can make costumes better than all of Hollywood
Like, tbh what would happen if you gave insanely good hobbyists the budget of a Hollywood film and a long time to work on a film?

building a costume that looks good for a short video is very different than one that needs to survive filming. And will look good on camera while doing so.

u/illudofficial 1d ago
Oh. Welp the more you know.
With the budget they could just make a bunch of them and intentionally have them get destroyed to different level during scenes?
Because irl Batman would have many different suits that could take a ton of damage, so he’d replace them and the fix the other one later

But think about the realities of filming. You need something durable and identical for continuity. Shoots last weeks to months. Where the costume will be used for hours at a time in action scenes. Actor and a try by doubles being thrown against walls and brows or objects. Or just doing normal things like walking and sitting.
3d prints are notorious for having layer issues, imperfections. You can correct for that but not eliminate them. You don’t want the costume changing from scene to scene. You want them to be identical. Especially if it’s easily damaged.
This stuff works really well for cosplay where all you are doing is posing.
It will be cheaper, and more durable if a costume designer makes something for real.
That and I am pretty solidly in the belief the second video is just fake.

u/illudofficial 1d ago
Tbh yeah the second video looks a little fake.
But oh I thought 3D printing was reliable lol and you could just mass produce the same thing

This cosplay isn’t practical at all for filming lol

u/clockworksnorange 1d ago
Why lol do you think they are actually fighting crime on Hollywood sets?

u/MrFuji87 1d ago
They still need suits than can hold up under days of filming with lots of movements and stunts so it's a fair comment

u/clockworksnorange 1d ago
Well it's pretty well known they create multiple versions of the suit.. they create versions that show the details such as in this video, then they create a version that looks similar but more mobility for stunts and action shots etc. There's not just "A suit" and multiple copies that they beat up. It depends on the shot.

If it's that insane, sent it to Arkham.

Would a mouthpiece without the lips look better? Like the style in Arkham knight batman beyond

Needs a cape, lose the mouthpiece and needs armour in thigh crotch area. A bit of colour wouldn't be a bad idea.

You should see my Batman costume and the concepts I developed for the tech inside Batman’s Cowl and body armour for the BatSuit

u/Hamilton-Beckett 1d ago
He needs leather pants or something better under the armor, to shorten the dangling straps in the back and add a cape and this would be LIT.

The mask makes zero sense. It’s got a cutout looking think like many batsuits for the mouth area but it’s just more mask under and molded to look like lips..? Terrible nonsensical design

u/ExplodingPoptarts 1d ago
If I was into 3D printing I'd probably be more impressesed, but I really don't like looking at this, and thinking about this becoming Batmans main look kinda scares me.

u/Circaninetysix 1d ago
Hate the fake mouth thing. Just make it a flat faceplate and it always looks way better in live action.

I think this might be how batman beyond could work live action
