Re: I had never noticed the “bat pad” inside Adam’s costume until today!

The two pair of original Robin tights I've seen had the same fabric in the gusset at the rest of the tight. This pair however is either a very unfortunate fabric grain/lighting set up or another style of tight with the more breathable gusset fabric. I know Burt hated the tights and they may have bee...

The fabric has a slight sheen to it and the gusset is just reflecting light differently because the grain of the fabric is at a different angle than the legs of the tights.
The gusset on the bat tights is the same fabric as the legs.

Re: I had never noticed the “bat pad” inside Adam’s costume until today!

That is a gusset in the crotch of the tights. Most tights that are sewn up the back have them. It's just a way to keep all the seams from coming together in the center. Most the time, as in this case, it's the same fabric as the tight but in some cases it's a more breatheable fabric. Most of the pub...

Re: Catwoman’s Necklace

It's my belief that the necklace was simply not ready for the big screen.
It looked flashy on the small screen but would have been seen as the thrown together piece it was on the big screen.
My two cents...

Neal Adams Batman study

Hi All,

Just sculpted a 1/3rd scale study of a Neal Adams Batman. About 8 inches tall total.
It's in tan Chavant NSP medium oil clay.

It's been fun staying loose on this.

Re: Stewart Berkowitz final prices 10/24/25

While the auction is heartbreaking, I appreciate AP's compiling of all this info into one graphic! It really helps this old , image reliant brain! I think if they had sold these by the piece instead of dumping everything at once, they would have done higher numbers. I also think we are seeing the ag...

Re: best options for Robin trunks, cape

We are the only place to get Robin trunks , I believe.
They quit making the dyeable springweave fabric so we had it custom made in the right color.

We make the cape too, replica or custom sized, if you are interested.

Another Catwoman medallion in the wild.

Hi All, Just found these listed as a mantle clock decoration in the UK! The stamping is a hair more detailed than the fashion accessory copies that Jack V. discovered a few years ago. Hole puched in for the ring but it is easily filled. A good illustration of how found objects are used for such icon...

What catwoman costume do you mean? I couldn't say one way or the other about the one worn in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
I haven't seen any specific images of it.

Re: Molly's Robin outfit

On the contrary, Jill did not wear a modified vest. The vest listed as the "Molly" vest was modified to accentuate the female form. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was a Russ Meyer film. Busty girls were the drawing point. The arm hole of this vest was completely changed by the modification...

Re: Heritage Auction of the Stewart Berkowitz Collection 10/24/25

It is a real shame. The last time I spoke to him, he had just recieved planning commission permission to build a new higher roof on the property he had purchased for the museum. It was going to house the atomic pile for the full sized Batcave. In it, it would have had all the costumes and vehicles. ...
