How to Make a Rubies Arkham Batman Cowl Look Great! 

Very helpful since I'm buying this off Amazon. Though I'm skipping removing the neck because I'm making it into the 1989 version.

Rest In Peace Adam West, you will be missed.

This literally helped me so much I thought I wasn't going to have a Batman cowl for my cosplay thank you so much : )

Im dying to know how you attach the cape to the cowl and make the neck area look so good. A video on that would be awesome.

This has been immensely helpful. Thank you! I'm a sucker for Rubies masks because they're cheap and I always have to brainstorm how to make them look halfway decent.

Love your tutorials. Just ordered the cowl and material to make cape and hood from your other tutorial. Hopefully I can get it all done before Mardi Gras so my tradition of masking as Batman is much improved this year. The look on little kids faces when they see Batman is priceless.

Thanks for all the feedback, folks! As soon as I get my hands on another Matty Cowl, I will definitely post a video on how to repaint the face. In the meantime, I'm working on a "How to Make Superhero Boots" video that should be up within a week.

The "Batman kiss" got you a like!

Thanks so much for the video! I got the rubies Dark Knight cowl for like $20 on Amazon. Originally I couldn't figure out what to do with the neck to make it look good--no matter what I did it bubbled up in the back and looked ridiculous. I was reluctant at first, but cutting it off was definitely the way to go (though I ended up leaving more under the chin than you had). The plasti dip is good but you have to make sure not to overdo it, and make sure you spray it from a little ways away (if not you get all of these weird blotches and cracks in the mask. Thankfully it's easy to peel off and redo--and it came out much better the second time around. Pair it with a scuba head cover and you've got a pretty good looking cowl. Thanks!

I followed your instructions for my batfleck cowl and the results are amazing! Made a cheap cowl look great! Plastidip is magic! Thanks man!

Oh gosh you are so freaking useful you’ve just now given me hope on finding other ways to do something so thank you

Scott Bayles, you are blessed, skilled and talented man. I definitely would like to see another tutorial on how you did your neck and hood piece. Please let us know. :-)

I have a Dark Knight rubies cowl that looks great, and I’m ordering a bvs one for my costume, and this helps a lot

I just got my cowl today & tomorrow I just have to plasti dip it, your tips were very helpful

Great video thanks. Also great to see another cos-playing Christian as well. God Bless and keep up the good work. ;) Seeing how you made the hood and cowl would be great if you have the time.

Love the cosplay and how it’s based off Arkham city

It was so funny when I heard him say "it looks like Batman's head got run over by the batmoble"

Im re modling my house and i might make my room like yours.

Great suggestions. I love modifying funky rubies masks too.

That's amazing. I used the balloon method before seeing this video to expand my rubies Usurus before painting it.

This is awesome! I have the same cowl and had done some minor mods to it (cotton balls in the horns and one coat of platidip) which did improve the look. I was afraid to do anymore than that, but I'm totally going to try this now. Subscribed!

Cheers for the tutorial Scott. I've been wracking my brain on how to make a cowl for my GCPD Batman from Superheavy, and Urathane ones are too bulky.

I tried this with the dark knight cowl. I am really happy the way it turned out. thankyou for making the tutorial

Scott- I am Barton Bones Cosplay on facebook buddy - think you just proved me wrong... I never thought any one could make a rubies Cowl look any good... but you did buddy... I'm allergic to latex so it counts me out on many of their masks. Although the new plastic Batman belts are quite good to use as a base for Robin, Red Hood, and Nightwing too...I've liked and subscribed and sharing your videos on my pages ;)

Fantastic tutorial! Who'da thunk a Rubies cowl could look so good...?

I'm going to echo the urgings of others interested in a video on modifying the Matty Collector cowl!

3:31 KNOW WE KNOW WHO KILLED ADAM!!

With the outfit it looks really similar to the Golden age cowl in his first appearance. I wonder if you could find a cowl just like the golden age though

Interesting and informative. As commented in here earlier, you need to show how you modified the Matty cowl. A lot of us have that piece and want to make it look right.

Awesome bro I like how you blew the balloon inside the cowl I think I'm gonna do that too

“I just killed Adam West.” Man that didn’t age well.

hey you know what I'm going to be Batman for Halloween

Scott:the most important part of a superheros costume is the mask Superman: Oh please

trimming it is like a bale cowl in arkham games lol good idea

I definitely want to turn my head next time I"m in the Batsuit. A How To on the Collar would be great!

3:30 "I just killed Adam West" Me:😐

Great job! Thank you for taking the time to make this...

This is awesome!! Thank you!

MTVs best kiss award goes to Scott Bayles 😂😂😂

I watched this a thousand times k finished my batsuit and my friend has multiple bullet proof vests and he bugging me and telling me that I should add kevlar to the suit reply if yo u think I should do this

I got a Batman cowl (dark knight)for £5 on Ebay and it was formed 100% fine. NO dents! (:

Awesome video, please could you do a cape and cowl build

Scott would love to see this done for the keaton mask the arkham looks good

When I did this, the mask was too big so I cut the back and chin like he said, and then covered the cracks with a line of electrical tape and plastidiped over them. Depending on how many coats are applied, you may still have barely noticeable lines, but imo, it looks better than the crack and with enough coats, it'll conceal the outline of the tape.

Playback speed to 1.25x, thank me later. Great vids

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing, I'm modding mine for an upcoming event. Any chance that cowl/cape combo tutorial is coming soon?

geweldig gedaan Scott

Thanks a lot for this..been looking for a video like this for a while.

I got so lucky on Amazon, mine looks exactly like Arkham Batman

Great Video. I'm going to try it with my flash cowl

so cool! costume looks awesome too!

Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Nicolas Cage?

Nice! Well done.

yes please make a tutorial on the hood and cape

this was an awesome video!!! I would like to see you make a video how you put together your cowl and cape pieced together.

Could you please do a different cowl? I would really like to see what the Keaton or Bale one would look like once you completed these steps.

wow this is amazing im going to apply it on the next Batman cowl i buy thanks for showing this technique. can you do a how to modify or make a wolverine mask?

cowl looks great! Nice video! :)

it was amazing that's the best thing that I've seen to do with batman

+Scott Bayles, I really enjoyed this video you did with the Batman Cowl to return it to its custom shape with a spray of the Plexie Dip. i also enjoyed the Batman cape and hood one piece video please make more videos of Batman or any other heros. im lean a little something from them i enjoy them alot👍👌. I also have a question in this video where did you get this Batman costume send me or reply back the link of the website of where the costume came from. im a huge Batman fan and im collecting all batman items. thank you for your time and work Scott👍hope to see more videos thank you.

3:32 That aged well...

I loved part that looked like they were kissing I would love to see that from Batman

Awesome Video i tried it and ut worked !!

Love the suit

Love your tutorials :) could you make one on how to make an assassin's creed costume? Comic con next month in my city and i cant find anything good on youtube.

Thank you so much for all the great tutorials! How do you get the bat logo on the bodysuit?

Scott, this video is good and informative. A couple of questions though. Are you familiar with the "Zombie-Batman mask?" I recently purchased one and cut out the zombie-looking parts. It left a huge gap in the lower half of the face. Would your technique work on tightening it up? It's a different design than The Rubie's Arkham mask.

That really helps a lot! Thanks

This is nice! neck/cape tutorial please!!!

Hey love the video, I'm going to be working on this same project, but I was wondering if you had any tips for shortening the ears, I personally don't like the long ears

love the cowl! But how did you make the batman gloves because I thinking about making some for my suit?

“I Just Killed Adam West” Welp That Didn’t Age Well Haha!

Will you make a tutorial on how to modify rubies arkham city gloves? Heard a lot of bad things about them, but they're the only arkham city gloves I can afford and after seeing what you've done with the cowl I think there might be some hope.

Hey Mr.Bayles I was wondering where or wich site did you by your Batman Arkham cowl? Keep it up with the awesome tips for costumes.

cool I got that same mask today. I'm leaving the neck though.

Could we get that cape tutorial? Thatd be great.

@scott bayles, did you make that batman costume yourself or did you buy it? it looks amazing and i was wondering how i could get one

Scott -- Lee here- what are these like for hard wearing.... and size wise i'm a 25 head and allergic to latex.. I'm thinking of trying to line or coat the inside some how.......brilliant cape video too buddy...

nice video

nice

That's awesome

Also neck and cape tutorial

Is there a video of the cowl painted blue? I'd love to see how that turned out

This really makes the cowl look good but let me say, the cowl when it comes out of the bag is absolute trash, great video though, in the middle of making mine now!

Great video, it looks like u modified the eyebrow markings on the adam west cowl, whats the best way to do that w/out messing it up? I am also looking for ways to change the colors on the mattel 66 bat cowl, any ideas? thanks.

3:33 lol he predicted the future

Awesome video Scott! Just one quick question: when you finished giving the three coats of Plastidip, how long did you have to wait before you could wear the cowl? I know on the Plastidip can, it says it takes 4 hours to completely dry after the coatings, but I'm curious to know if I have to wait additional time before I start wearing the cowl.

Out of Curiosity, Which DOJ mask did you use Scott? The only latex one i can find has a fake mouth piece covering the opening. I want to use the DOJ style! lol.

Awesom vid man thanks

Where do I get the original Adam West cowl?

Have you ever painted one of these cowls? I'm looking to do a blue and grey batman.

Just wondering, has the spray held up on the latex. no peeling or cracking or anything. also it dosent deteriorate the latex faster does it?

thanks for the insight. I was going to try the technique on 3/4 BvS cowl. but the quality is really bad so went with the arkham cowl and so far turning out great. Have you tried lowering the ears or any insight if it could be done?

Hi love you’re videos they are great but could I ask were would u get that cowl online?

Just picked up my Rubies Cowl and am currently on the balloon step, I'm curious do you have any tips on how to shorten the ears? I have never been a big fan of long ears on the cowl. Thanks.

And the muscle suit

I know there are few methods for the plasti dip but do you just spray it all over the cowl straight from the can or do you spray from the can and then paintbrush over it ? Any feedback would be appreciated .

Hey brother in Christ :) so we are having a youth super week at our church in august and I would love to know how to make the Cape and neck like you said in the video. I already bought the arkham cowl. Our super week is superhero based. Also what can i use for the rest of the costume? I want to make a similar costume to yours in the video but without the trunks outside the pants lol

After spraying it with plastidip, how long does it take for it to stay on it permanently? I had a little rub off

Thanks for the video awesome
