ICYMI: Awesome Cosplay Of The Day: BATMAN ARKHAM KNIGHT

b7

Sometimes you see a Batman, and you’re like, cool – that’s Batman. But then sometimes you see a BATMAN and everything stops – TIME ITSELF STOPS – and you hold your breath, and you pinch yourself, because before your eyes is something so magnificent, so unbelievable, so magical that it can’t be real. But it is – OOOOOH it is. Check out this amazing cosplay of Batman by Julian Checkley  He decided to create the outfit in honor of the Batman video games, specifically Batman’s look in Arkham Orgins. The armor is 3D printed and it includes a working fireball gauntlet (say what?), folding batarangs, and a wrist computer that displays sonar pings. OMG, I am in heaven! The 3D printing was done by Kevin LeProp with photos by Kamil Krawczak. Want to see more, and a video? – don’t stop, run past the break:

1.21 Gigawatts: Jimmy Revisits A Comic Book Movie Post From Y2K

"A Watchmen movie?  Don't hold your breath." - Jimmy Impossible circa 2000
“A Watchmen movie? Don’t hold your breath.” – Jimmy Impossible circa 2000

Before I started writing endless Secret Wars posts for Gabbing Geek, I used to work on and write for a site called the Hollywood Stock Brokerage & Resource (HSBR, no “&”, I don’t care what you say).  It was a (the best) Hollywood Stock Exchange (HSX) fansite.  While the site has unfortunately closed it’s doors, I still interact with most of the group on a daily basis.  Gabbing Geek founding member Ryan “don’t call me hose311” Garcia was also a contributor to HSBR and foolishly recruited me here.
