NEW Batman Returns Michael Keaton 1992 costume Commemorative cowl mask prop

Description

This auction is for an officially licensed Batman Returns Michael Keaton rubber Commemorative cowl mask. This is a full head cowl just like in the films. It is made of vinyl rubber and has velcro in the back so you can get into and out of the cowl easily. It can fit up to a 23.5" head just fine.  Make sure to measure your head before bidding, it is a very snug cowl.  People with larger heads should purchase our Batman Begins/TDK cowl instead which can fit up to a 24" head.  The Returns cowl has a bat emblem that is part of the cowl and not removable.  It can fit any type of Batman style costume you are going for, even comic
style Batman costumes!  The traditional yellow and black Batman logo is a classic!
You first saw this cowl in Batman (1989) designed by Bob Ringwood but it was more weathered, rough version, and not smooth at all.  Tim Burton wanted to improve on the design in the first film and Bob redesigned the entire suit to be more plate armor like with the help of Vin Burnham and Steve Wang for Batman Returns (1992).  This made it more sleek with smoother lines and the traditional Batman emblem.  The Batman Returns cowl has sharper eyebrows, nose, and a slightly different shape to the eyes and chin than its 89 counterpart.  A huge improvement!  And that is the version we sell!
Please note, the black parts you see on the cowl are vinyl rubber.  The yellow part on the emblem is painted on by hand.  Every cowl we sell is unique and the quality of the paint job varies from cowl to cowl.  It is not bad, but we just want you to be aware of this if you are a perfectionist.  We have had several customers carefully cut out the emblem with scissors to add their own emblem or just wear the cowl without an emblem at all depending on the look they are going for with their costume.  So this cowl is very versatile.
The other point we want you to be aware of is that since the ears on this cowl are much longer than our other cowls, they sometimes flop over and look bent, especially after being in transit.  This can usually be fixed by using a hair dryer to warm up the ears allowing it to return to form.  We also have had several customers use Crayola Model Magic available at any craft store to fill the ears and make them solid and more straight.
These cowls fit up to a 23.5" head comfortably.  They are very snug on most people.  To make them a little looser, warm it up with a hair dryer before putting it on so the vinyl stretches a little.  You can also put a water based lubricant in your hair to help slip it on.  If your head is smaller and you want a more snug fit on your face, place a piece of egg crate foam along the top of the cowl and it will fit your face snug.
Hopefully these tips will help you.  Let us know if you have any questions!

Batman: I'm not going to kill you. I want you to do me a favor. I want you to tell all your friends about me.
Nic: What are you?
