I loved the first two Batman movies.
And then came the crinkled crock of crap that personified every movie after Tim Burton left the project.
This was all thankfully rectified in 2005 by Christian Bale in "Batman Begins", and the subsequent and even more awesome "The Dark Night". If you haven't seen Batman Begins the construction of this project isn't going to make a whole lot of sense to you, so hop on to Netflix and add it to your queue.
I'm obsessed with the ninja costume from the first half of Batman Begins. The construction of it is unique, yet familiar enough that upon first glance you know exactly what the person wearing it is supposed to be. It's the best ninja costume I've ever seen in a movie, or at least it's my favorite.
I recently taught myself to sew, which is a sneaky skill: you don't realize just how important it is until you've already learned how to do it. Now that I know how to sew and with halloween just around the corner I decided that I had to make a copy of the ninja gear.
I could have made it for myself, but if you know me, you know I've got an (almost) three year old son that's thirty pounds of unbridled fury, so I'm going to be making this for him. Making something with a great amount of detail for someone who's head is below your beltline presents some interesting challenges so this project should be a lot of fun.
