After over 50 years since his creation, Batman continues to be one of the most popular superheroes of all time. While there are many fans of Batman and the world of Gotham, some people actually crave to be him, and while it may never fully happen, you can get pretty close to impersonating Batman by following these simple steps.
Instructions
1. Lifestyle: Batman's alter ego is the very rich Bruce Wayne. To be like Bruce Wayne you need to maintain a very public lifestyle that includes going out to charity events like balls, supporting new projects in your city, and keeping a low profile about your other persona.
2. Costume: The key to being Batman is having the perfect costume. Many online retailers sell duplicate costumes that can cost hundreds of dollars, but will actually give you pretty much the same thing that Batman from the movies wears. The best costume to get is the one from Batman Begins. It is more current and will not look as bad as wearing the costumes that Adam West donned in the TV show Batman.
3. Make sure you have a long cape, and if you want to go Tim Burton style, but a yellow oval with a black bat on the middle of your costume. One of the other most important things is the utility belt. Have a lot of accessories on the belt to help you fight off enemies and make your way around the city. You can even add extra accessories like a cell phone and iPod to make the belt more modern.
4. Car: The Batmobile usually gets around in one thing and that is the Batmobile. You will not find any of these at your local car dealer, but there are ways to get it as close as possible. Check out different websites for custom Batman things, even if you have to use decals. Also look out for contests as well, Taco Bell once ran a contest where they gave a winner a free Batmobile.
5. Bat Signal: To show people in your city or neighborhood that a Batman presence is near, you need to set up your own custom Bat signal. Simply head over to your local Home Depot or supplies store and pick out the biggest and cheapest spot light that you can find. Then get some thick black construction paper and cut out the shape of a bat. Tape the bat to the middle of the spotlight and attach it to your roof. The bat signal should be flying high when you turn the light on and then you are ready to go and save the world.
6. Martial Arts: Batman is a skilled grappler and fighter, and this is key to becoming him. He does not rely on superpowers to take down foes, but using his smarts and power, he has been able to defeat them easily. Go to a local kickboxing or karate center and train to become the best you can before you start busting criminals.
