HERE IS A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE BATMAN AND ROBIN COSTUMES FIT:

These costumes were designed to fit a wide variety of people while maintaining the integrity of the look. The body suit is a two piece undergarment that goes under everything and covers you in places the other pieces don't. Most of the rest of the pieces are latex. The gloves and the cowling are full, pull-over pieces. The boots are spats (fit over your own shoes). The chest piece is a full piece that fastens in the back with velcro. The crotch piece and pants are front only (the pants are more like chaps). They fasten in the back with ties and velcro. All the fasteners and any open parts in the back are hidden by the cape. The cape is not leather (we're not sure what it is), but it's about the closest approximation we've seen. The belt is the only piece we're a little disappointed in as it also ties in the back.

This may all sound very confusing, but it looks great once you get it on. We've sold many of these costumes to customers all over the world, and the feedback has been very positive.

WILL THE COSTUME FIT ME?

Since they were cast from the original costumes, the Batman and Robin costumes come in one size only. While they have been designed to fit a variety of sizes, they will not fit everyone perfectly. Here are some of the more common problems. TALL OR LARGE PEOPLE:
Let's face it, Val Kilmer's no giant despite his superhero character. The piece most likely not to fit you is the body suit. (see the description above). In this case, we recommend that you purchase a suitable replacement garment from a sport or dance supply. It is more expensive to buy the rest of the pieces separately than to purchase the entire costume with body suit.
If you are tall, you may notice a gap between the 'pant' legs and the boot tops. This gap should be covered by the body suit.
If you have a very broad chest the chest piece may be snug. This will be a serious problem for only a few people. The fasteners in the back can be loosened (the cape covers them), and this piece looks best when slightly snug, anyway.
If you have a large head, the cowling may be difficult to get on. Use a pair of scissors to carefully lengthen the slit in the back. Then use a hole punch or scissors to make a circle at the top of the slit to discourage further ripping.

SMALL OR THIN PEOPLE:
You will experience less problems than larger people. The most common complaint is that the chest piece gapes around the arms where it ends. Fasten the chest piece as tightly as possible for a snug fit. Foam padding may be used to 'flesh out' the shoulders. Our best advise, though, is to use your cape to advantage. Drape it strategically over your shoulders so that the only the outline of your arm is seen.

OKAY, YOU'VE GOT IT ALL ON and everything looks great! Here's our final piece of advice:
