More details will be following shortly. Our newest TK, DAVID, will be appearing as BATMAN with a new costume based on the game, and he will be harassed by the JOKER at both locations. Both locations will be taking donations for the KEIZER FOOD BANK.......old tony kenobi

 It seems far from a Star Wars Event. I thought this seemed like one that belongs in either the Public Cantina or private .. Let me know.. It looks like a fun outing for anyone in a Costume.  This Topic here in Public allows those who want to go whether a Star wars costume or Non star wars costume. Have fun. Could go in public CCG annoucements (not in Private Event Planning) ..

This should be a fun midnight event for people coming to pick up the game.  Batman is always a fun costume to do at night as well, so I'm looking forward to debuting a custom modified suit inspired by the costume design in the game.

I took my first set of generic muscle armor, refinished it and primered, then drew the "seam lines" and "rivets" on there, but will need pin stripe them on by hand.  For the picture, I enhanced the lines and filled in the chest emblem in Photoshop to get a better idea of what it will look like once I paint it.  I think the gray needs to be darker, so I may airbrush some shadowing onto it if I have enough time.

Mostly, this is using parts I already have for my other bat suits, but I'm inspired to do some custom pieces from the game to really improve the Arkham Asylum look.  For example, the glove armor and fins, belt and shin armor are quite a bit different.  For this pic, I used my '89 gloves, Begins belt and '89 leather boot armor (not pictured.)  I'm also planning to sculpt and cast a new neck piece to go with this cowl - in the game he has a HUGE neck and the front comes to a point rather than squared off like this one does.

Where did the September 8th date come from?  I had heard many rumors over the summer that it was possibly early September rather than late August, but since the official demo was just released and states August 25th prominently all over the place, I was pretty sure that was a firm date.  I just finished scouring all my bat forums and sites, and video game sites and everywhere is still showing Aug. 25th - including GameStop's web site.  :)

this came from Jurel, the manager at the keizer GAMESTOP just a few hr ago. She is not real happy about it either :evil:. BTW, your new suit is looking GREAT David :D, now you have a couple more weeks to work on it if needed :roll:. see you tomorrow around 7:00? give me a ring when you get off work.......ol tony

Hmm, well if that's the case, that's a real bummer but yes it does give me a bit more time to get the neck molded and cast, along with the other pieces I want to build.

But for now, I think I'm going to keep the 25th as a target date until all the web sites update with the new release date and the fanboy forums explode with outrage.   :lol:


Ok, I'll stop by the shop after work tomorrow as I need to pick up some more reading material too.

Ok, I'm going to try my best to have that day off from work, but things are looking busy that week due to trainings on Tuesdays, but I'll keep you posted.  If anything, I can take off a bit early and suit up at the shop for a couple hours that evening.
