The more I look at this the more I like it. But I can't get over the base. I know the symbolism but the execution doesn't make sense.

Is it a junk pile of headstones?
Why is he desecrating them? That's completely out of character.

Ive never understood the need for an unmasked head. He isn’t in the Batcave. He’d never have his mask off. Wolverine and Magneto makes sense but Batman?

Love it, I dig the armor look. Reminds me of the Arkham origin suit.

@Darren1228 agreed about an unmasked portrait, it’s not needed. I’d take a battle damage portrait though.

Yup ...if only SSC would've made the lower part consistent with the upper part. That's all they need to do to fix this. You're pic just helps to highlight that.

I was ok with him until another member mentioned the creases in the suit by his inner thighs. Plus the chaps are a bummer. Bottom line the lower half needs a do over

The base is in reference to Mad Dog Hawkins one of the first inmates at Arkham and how he drove Amadeus Arkham mad causing him to become an inmate of his own asylum.

The full story is pretty dark and disturbing.

Nah, gotta have the trunks. Breaks up the grey and adds some much needed contrast to the suit.
