Video: Batman Costume Breaks Guinness Record For Most Functional Gadgets on a Cosplay Suit
We've covered a ton of jaw-dropping cosplay over the years, but I don't know if we've ever written about one that's broken a Guinness World Record. That changes today, as LaughingSquid points us to the story of art director Julian Checkley, who used his experience building props and costumes for the film industry to create a Batman costume that features a staggering twenty-three functional gadgets on it. I'm not really into cosplay myself, but even I have to admit this thing is pretty badass.
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.
Here's the full list of gadgets:
1. Fireball Shooter
2. Gauntlet Video Screens x 2
