Homemade Batman suits are nothing special, but this one by Julian Checkley most certainly stands out as one of the coolest we’ve ever come across. Everything on this 7-foot-tall suit was sculpted, molded and cast in various grades of urethane rubber and it weighs in at a hefty 150 pounds. Unfortunately (or fortunately), there are no working weapons or gizmos on the suit. Read more for additional pictures.

Lyz has a background as a very experienced model. Which means she’s absolutely incredible at following directions and understanding whatever creative vision I have for our shoots. So I had the idea of going to the desert in California for the shoot as I thought the yellows would contrast really nicely against the primarily muted blue tones of her character,” said Beethy.
