RubiesRubie's Batman: The Dark Knight Trilogy Adult Batman Costume

My boyfriend and I were batman and catwoman for halloween at a party we just went to. Everyone loved our costumes. So for that reason alone I was really please. Now to be a little critical, the "mask" is the ugliest thing I have ever seen! Normally that would be no problem at all expect for the fact its attached to the cape!. My boyfriend and I cut the mask of the cape and he used a plastic mask I had bought him separately. Also the chest piece runs enormus... even though everyone like his costume it really made him look fat instead of muscular which was actually pretty funny. My boyfriend is six feet tall and around 190-200 pounds. (slim,tall,athletic build) and we bought him a large. Other than the giant chest plate it fit great. If you are going to a party with friends this is a great choice.

Decent costume and looks good. Bought size large for my son who is 5'6' and 145 pounds. It is always cold here on Halloween and I needed it to fit over jeans and a sweatshirt, perfect fit.

My husband had been wanting to dress up as batman for a while now. Initially, i was planning on making him the costume myself but i just didn't have time. I ordered this one the week before halloween and it quickly arrived 2 days later. He tried it on, and like many said before me, the crotch area was SUPER tight (My husband is 6'4", 190 lbs for reference). He's normally a large but can sometimes fit in a long medium since he's skinny but super tall so i thought i'd be ok with a large...nope. We ordered an x-large instead and that one fit a lot better. The bottom is simply too small but then the top is the opposite extreme and is HUGE! The XL shoulders fit about half way down his arm, almost to the elbow and his chest looked abnormal. As a quick fix, i attached two pieces on ribbon to the inside of the chest, right under his arm pits, and he was able to tighten the chest so that it looked somewhat normal. The chest piece is made up of a tough but pliable foam. i have a feeling if it was stuck in the same folded position, it would eventually stay in that same folded position so careful where its stored! the arms and legs are a stretchy, cheap material (think lycra) but he said they weren't itchy. He wore some *ahem* support briefs so that the he wouldn't provide his coworkers with a free show (not as tight as the large but that fabric is still unforgiving) and also had a to wear a black tshirt since the back is only 3 little velcro pieces that often came undone. The belt is easily the cheapest thing i've ever seen (soft plastic pieces glued together to kind of resemble a belt) so if he wears it again, i'm definitely taking that plastic thing off and buying him a better one. The little pieces sticking out in the arms were folded up and stuck out in weird angles so i tried my best to fix those with some ironing. Made it passable but definitely not super cool looking. The suite is all 1 piece with the cape/head piece separate. This meant every time my husband had to go to the bathroom, the whole thing had to come off...he wasn't pleased about that part but still enjoyed it so much he couldn't complain. Aside from the belt, the headpiece and cape were my least favorite thing. I liked the overall look of the headpiece (same hard foam as the chest) but the ears just looked super lame. Just 1 piece of foam (that often bent) sticking up. I'm going to try and stuff them so that they'll look a little more menacing. The cape is just ugh. I bought a $10 cape from amazon that was 100x better than this. This thing is flimsy, see though, and half the time you don't even notice it because it does not billow out and it doesn't go over his shoulders. its about 1.5yds wide so its literally just a long piece of black fabric that hangs on the back. I will definitely be buying him a new cape if he wears it again. Overall, i'm happy with the overall product (especially since i didn't have to make one from scratch). When i have the time, some small improvements can definitely make it look more awesome. Overall, i got what i paid for.

The top portion of the costume looked great however the bottom portion is terribly made. The measurements are not accurate, it was uncomfortable in the front and the back areas. So I decided to order a large and it was not different at all, only the chest seemed wider. Our final idea was to cut the bottoms and wear it with pants, this did not turn out great. I found it very disappointing to pay this price for something not well made and now ruined.

Here is the truth this is crap. Parts are odd sizes, quality is poor, mask doesn’t stay in place. If you actually want to wear this to a party you will be disappointed that you don’t put more effort into a costume. HOWEVER, if you are like me and bought it to play with your child/grandchild the above really doesn’t matter. My grandson and I played for hours and totally worth it!

Grandson looked Great, Fit just right,great Value for what I paid for

This costume was one of the cheapest options I could find, so perhaps I should have known what I was getting into, but the legs on this costume were way shorter than it's advertised measurements and the cowl was too big to ever fit comfortable and attractively on any head. The chest area was also very large and I could not get it to sit flat as it kept bulging out, overall not a bad last minute costume, but there is definitely better options out there.

My husband absolutely loves this costume. A huge perk to this is that the mask is fabric, which allowed him to comfortably wear his glasses underneath. Huge bonus!!! He claimed it was a little tight in the hip area but otherwise fits great. Well made, muscle chest isn’t too much, moveable and comfortable. Can’t wait for the halloween party!
