First seen in 2014’sBatman and Robin #33, by Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason,the Hellbat armor was designed as a joint effort between Batman andthe rest of the Justice Leagueto help the only person among their ranks without superpowers be able to take on Darkseid-level threats. Using it to travel to Apokolips to retrieve the body of his dead son, Damian aka Robin, Batman’s Hellbat suit sports an appropriately terrifying red and black design, and utilizes an array of offensive and defensive techniques powered by the user’s metabolism — a dangerous cost for anyone wearing it.
A set of photos shot by Josh (@jmlenscaps) at this year’s Florida Supercon,Marrow’s homemade Hellbat looks as if it’s just stepped out of a Hollywood production’s costume department. Subtly tweaking the suit’s spiked shoulder pads and leg accents, its sleek black plated armor, and most notably, its customized blood-red bat symbol emblazoned on its chest, the photo’s red-tinged background perfectly matches the crimson highlights seen throughout the suit, with the final image of the post giving fans a head-to-toe look at Marrow’s incredible design, showing exactly how this batsuit can work in the real world.
The Hellbat Armor Is One of Batman’s Best-Designed Batsuits
But to truly appreciate this Hellbat cosplay for the creative achievement it is,fans will need to take a quick scroll through Marrow’s page to compare what was changed from their original, moretank-like armored Hellbat designand this more polished and streamlined look. Regardless of the suit Marrow Morningstar (@marrow_meister ) wears, this is one of very few live-action Hellbat costumes coming out of the cosplay community, making this an even more impressive take on a badass batsuit thatBatmanneeds to find a way to bring back to the comic space soon.
