Azarian Collection Bat Suit

[Joel Ross]

I didn't know there was a bat suit in the Azarian collection. How long has he owned it? I thought the only known full suit was in the Hardeman collection.

John Azarian has owned that for quite a long time.
Certainly since the early 80's and probably much earlier.

Both he and Mark Hardeman have complete batsuits.
Mark has two pairs of gloves with his costume.

There is another floating around that was auctioned in the 90's that belonged to Hubie Kerns. That suit had two cowls in the sale!
I don't know if it sold or not and if it did, who has it.

The Azarian Robin costume is the only complete Robin costume that I know of.
The Hardeman costume is missing one tube on the belt that was removed and the belt cut shorter by the previous owner so it would fit their child for Halloween.

This is the first time Azarian has allowed his suit to be seen in public display.
Is this your photo? Can you get a larger file?
