Happy hour cocktail parties, late night bottle service clubbing, and nine to five business transactions need some sort of supervision so that vilians, like Bernard Madoff, dont make off with your holiday bonus. If a superhero existed who had the intellect to be an industrialist by day and crime fighter by night, maybe you would have the extra cash for vacation this summer. This certainly must have been the motivation Bob Kane and Bill Finger had when they conceived the idea of batman.
Instead of looking in comic books, television shows, and blockbuster movies to find the hero to save our economy- take a minute to look internally and discover the potential that lies within you. After taking the time to deeply consider your own strength, order a batman wig. Once you’ve ordered the right hairpiece you can continue on with your transformation process and begin focusing on the costume.
Depending on your own color preference you can find a basic outfit that is either all black or grey. Stores like American Apparrell over a good selection of tight long sleeve shirts and pants which come in a variety of colors. If you do chose the grey style, make sure to buy a pair of small black underwear that you can wear over the pants.
Make the batman logo out of felt. Here lies another opportunity to add your own personal touch by deciding whether you identify more with the golden age or silver age batman. If you prefer Golden Age Batman you will need a logo with black bat on his chest. Silver Age Batman on the other hand has a slightly circular bat symbol over the yellow oval. Once you’ve created the logo sew or glue it on to the middle of the shirt.
You will also need a pair of forearm-length gloves which cover at least 3/4 of your forearms. You will want either blue or black material which can also be used to create six fins which can be glued to the sides of the gloves.
For your cape by a large piece of blue or black cloth. Ideally it should be at least the size of your body. You will want to cut into the fabric a semi circle shape and round the edges into a bat wing shape. In order to create a collar cut a hole which is at least two size bigger than your neck, then cut the half of the collar, and fasten everything together with a button.
Put on a pair of rain boots and a gold belt and your ready to go. Just be aware that even though you are prepared in dress, the road ahead can be tricky. The dangers of the city may attack you when you least expect it. Unlike Superman or Spiderman you can not fly away when situations can sticky. You will need to rely on your own personal strength and determination to battle the villains of the real world Gotham city.
