Batman Costume Sets New Guinness World Record for the Most Functional Gadgets on a Cosplay Suit

Special effects art director Julian Checkley of the Order 66 Creatures and Effects studio in Galway, Ireland broke a world record for the most functional gadgets on a cosplay suit. Julian built an amazingly detailed Batman costume featuring 23 functioning gadgets.

Devices include smoke bombs, a grapnel gun and ‘bat tracker’, UV lamp, NBC (nuclear, bacterial, chemical) bat respirator and even a bat sign projector for the night sky.

The suit, which is based on Bruce Wayne’s outfit from the Batman: Arkham Origins videogame, was 3D printed and then moulded and cast in a flexible urethane rubber.

The parts were then trimmed, detailed and painted, before being mounted on a specially designed undersuit. (read more)
