Coming up with a Batman-inspired costume without remaking Batman.

I just recently unlocked the Resistance nightstick weapon, so I'm considering trying a dual blades character (using swords always felt 'off' to me for superheroes, you can't just go around chopping guys up and consider yourself a good guy!). I'm thinking a caped crusader type of character (Night Warrior, Swinging, Grapple-Gun Pull, Smoke Bomb, etc) but other than 'dark colors, cape' I'm having major mental blockage.

I'm hoping I can get some general design tips and advice in here (or even if anyone wants to post examples of their dark knights) to jump start my mental gears again.

I have not decided on gender, although I think I'm leaning toward female.

    Check the links in my sig, especially my primus pages. Masquerade on primus and Night Skunk in my other link are both batman inspired (Skunk being a sort of parody).

    Well, since you're using Photobucket, one way is to click in the Direct window off to the right (which then copies a direct link to the pic), then come here, click on the Insert Image icon at the top, then Ctrl-V to copy the location into the link. Your pic will appear. You can do up to four per post.

    Ryll, this is Spider-Bat:

    This is his former sidekick, Blackwing:

    And this is Spider-Bat's evil opposite from another universe, Bat-Spider:

    I like that. What tights are those, and if they're from a purchasable set, which one?

    The bottom looks like it's just plain solid color; the top is the Phoenix pattern which is in one of the tights packs (not 'tech tights' or the asymettrical pack, maybe it was 'heroic tights'?)

    The top is Classic Falcon, from the Classic Tights set; the bottom is solid color.

    One thing to keep in mind with your stealthy, grim avenger of the night toons in CO is that there is an abundance of parts that work with bird-themed heroes. With that in mind, I have made a couple of Batman/woman outfits that use the bird of prey theme.

    First the male version.....

    And the female version.....

    No need to try for a not-Batman, the look has been perfected already.
