Post by batmakko »

This is where I ended up at by Halloween But did not get to wear it as I had to work.

I have a black rag insted of Red as If I could have gotten to wear this for Halloween or Fright Fest at Six Flags I didn't want to upset the wrong people for wearing red.I plan on making some adds from MMBTD. There are a few components I need to get. I also used a pair of gloves with ribbed knuckles. I am in a Batman costuming group and i was planning on using them for a Bat suit but decided to use them for this costume.

Very nice work. Great detail! You may have more right to the name "Batmax" than I do.

That is really cool. Always good to see others doing a MM2 outfit!
I should dust mine off and see about a new jacket...... NAH I LOVE my berserker outfit!

Just a comment, when Max has the wrapped knee he no longer is wearing the knee-pad. I believe it was removed after the BoB wreak by the compound crew in order to access an injury to his knee. You can see the blood on it during the Mack chase.

Thanks, Mike. Good observation.
One mistake some fans will make is attaching the knee pad to the legbrace. Despite what you might think, they are in fact two separate pieces. The knee pad is held on by one strap.
Another part of the movie where Max is not wearing his kneepad (film flub) is when he catches up to the Gyropcaptain. The dog runs after the Gyrocaptian and you see Max's knee: you see the ankle brace but no kneepad.

BTW, can somebody shut that jerk up who keeps talking about how great his berserker outfit is??? ;)

Thanks for the Compliments. The reason I wrapped the knee with the knee pad, I like the MMBTD aspect for the wrap. and as this was never intended to be screen accurate the knee pad stayed. In any costume I make I never go for 100% accuraccy. In costuming and propping accurate means More money. all in all this MM is right at the $200 mark.
