 I had the same thought until I opened the thread.
It's definitely a cool suit, though!

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

The Jacket is very cool but I hope I really don't start seeing people wearing these like regular jackets.......It'll be like seeing people wearing the Michael Jackson Thriller Jackets all over again!

Show us a pic of your bike and we'll tell you if it fits, a 
Nice suit but I'll pass. The fan's cowl looks pretty awesome too though. Who made that?

After various e-mails, I got to talk to David from Universal Designs Replcia. He took a lot of time to answer my very specific questions about the suit. Awesome service!
A couple of days later, I ordered the suit.
Here is the thing: I don't drive a motorcycle (not yet anyway). I was really in the market for an authentic Batman Begins or Dark Knight suit, an authentic looking one without having to spend $2500 or more for it. One I could wear for Halloween, special functions, etc.
So, even though this one does not have the cape, cowl, or belt, it has everything else (boots are being made next quarter I believe). I will purchase everything else separately.
What sold me on this? Here it is:
1. It is authenticated and licensed by DC. Universal Designs Replica (UDR) not only has an official license with this, they ALSO had access to the actual suit Christian Bale wore in the movie to REPLICATE this to a true design. This was the first thing that made me seriously consider this. I would not otherwise at this pricepoint.
2. Suit can be worn for quite a while indoors without sweating like a dripping fountain. The materials used in this allows for skin to breathe quite a bit. REMEMBER this is a motorcycle suit, so there is a jacket, and pants, and gloves. It is is not a one piece suit. So, as a result materials include molded leather, cordura mesh, body armor, spandex, etc. check the website for more info.
3. Because this is a motorcycle suit I am going to imagine it would be more comfortable, with stretching, than a costume. This was important to me also, was the comfort of wearing it as a costume.
4. I can wear the jacket separately. Guantlets are removable.
5. The fact that Dave from Universal designs took the time to be very direct with all of my questions, including the fact he reminded me that this is a motorcycle suit, not a costume. But let's face it, since it is a replica of the Dark Knight suit, IMO it can be used as a costume with some minor modifications, and additions (cowl, cape, belt). This is what I intend to do, and when I eventually do get a motorbike, I will have a suit too.
