Batman Costumes Through The Ages
I'm a 35 year old Canadian living in Ontario. I read comics, I love to draw and I collect comic art. I also teach karate, play hockey, and am a dad to 3 girls! My comic book passion lies with Batman and his pals with Nightwing taking a very close #2 favourite position. I began collecting comic art in 2013 and I have several commissions done by Ken Lashley and an amazing Francis Manapul Batman. As well I have sold a few of my own creations!

In 1989 Bat-mania hit a fevered pitch as Tim Burton's Batman film hit theaters. For the first time a "serious" Batman would be on the big screen, played by Michael Keaton. The outfit on display was a far departure from what was typically seen on the comic book page. This big screen Batman wore all black, with sculpted muscles. This suit would go on to influence all future movie renditions of the Dark Knight. So far the only departure from all black fans have seen in theaters is the crazy silver detailed Joel Schumacher versions. This of course is about to change in 2016, but we'll get to that look in a minute.
