Batman The Dark Knight Rises Grand Heritage Collector's Batman Costume, Black, Large - 2.6 out of 5 stars from 17 customer reviewsDisappointment for the Money
I just received my Grand Heritage Colleciton Batman Dark Knight costume. I have two costume parties to go to this year, and my wife and I were thinking it would be fun to go as Batman and The Joker. While I am very impressed with The Joker costume, I think the Batman costume leaves a lot to be desired, particularly for a $400+ costume.
The good parts...the mask is nice, and it tucks well into the chest armor. So, although I thought it was cut a little too much up the back, even for my head (I wear a 7 5/8 hat), that concern disappears when you tuck it into the chest piece. The gloves are made well and look nice on. And the cape is very nice...well made and has rods inserted into the ends that you can grab onto when you spread your "wings".
The disappointing parts...as with a lot of costumes that come with capes (my Supreme Darth Vader costume also falls into this category) Rubies believes that the costume in the front is the only important part, and they...
Great Costume But Needs Work
I bought this same costume off ebay for $400. There are a lot of great things about this costume, but there are also some things that need work. I'll start with the negatives.
1. The mask is way too big. I don't think anyones head would fit this mask. It is an easy fix though. Amazon has a batman mask on here for $25 and it is great. It fits perfectly and looks just like the one in The Dark Knight Rises.
2. The Boot Covers are very lousy. They look like Santa Claus boots and they really make the costume look bad. Howver, this is also an easy fix. Just search the internet for Black Superhero boots. I managed to find a pair that only cost $40! They look very similar to Batmans.
3. The Belt you get with this costume is also very dissapointing. It looks okay on the costume but it can't hold anything and is made very cheaply. Just like the other two, it is an easy fix. Amazon has an awesome Batman belt for $10!
4. The last negative thing about...
Waste of Money
Let me start off saying that this is the biggest disappointment I have ever gotten from Amazon. I would recommend building your own dark knight costume. I bought the size medium. I'll go from head to toe and describe its faults. First off, the mask is huge, no person's head can possibly fill it out. The cape is really nice and I can't really complain about it. The chest piece is held together with tiny velcro straps and I can't put it on with out assistance. The gloves are really big and don't fit right. The belt is made out of cheap rubber and ties in the back. Don't tie it too tight though because the string rips out of the holes very easily. The leg and waste cover also has to be tied and will also rip very easily. Also it only has a string at the waste and the top of the knee so it flairs out in the middle. The boot covers are worthless. They don't fit right onto shoes or boots and will come up as soon as you start walking. Altogether, had I known the quality of this costume I...
