Jul 18 2009Dark Knight Motorcycle Gear Coming Soon
Want a replica of Batman's motorcycle outfit from The Dark Knight to sport on your own crotch rocket? Well get excited, because Universal Designs is about to release them for an undisclosed sum of money. Sorry Robin, but you're still riding bitch.
An Officially Licensed Replica Like No Other is Coming.
- Strong Cordura Mesh Base with Heavy-duty 4 way stretch Spandex
- Removable CE Approved Body Armor in both Jacket and Pants
- Highly detailed, removable lightweight interior lining.
- Form Molded Leather and Kevlar Armor Sections.
- Made from Quality Tanned Cow Hides
No word on cost or when they're actually dropping but THESE THINGS ARE HOT! Unfortunately, my mom won't let me get a motorcycle because she says their too dangerous and she hasn't even removed the training wheels on my bicycle yet. So, give it to me straight: think I'll still be able to pedal in those pants? And, more importantly: would you ride in my basket? Come on -- I'll let you ring the bell!
Thanks to Skroonk, Davie B and FDSY, who have all danced with the devil in the pale moonlight -- and looked up his skirt.

Thats sick to the power of rad.
2. Jessi_Lane - July 18, 2009 1:21 PM
i would love to have this on my body ^_^
3. Rootbeerhead - July 18, 2009 1:26 PM
I don't even have a bike, but it doesn't matter. I'd wear this to work, maybe out on a date....no wait. Jammies.
4. BillyRapture - July 18, 2009 1:29 PM
^^^^
Genius.

As a rider myself, I can tell you, no matter how cool you think this may be to have, you would get totally laughed at by any group of riders you hang out with.
Unless of course you take the arm spikes off, then nobody would notice. This already looks like a riding suit with the exception that it's standing up straight. Riding suits are made to be snug but comfy when leaned over.

I agree with 3.
I'd wear it everywhere. Anywhere. But I'd probably leave to cape at home when leaving the house.... in the day.

i want a laz0r jetpack, some wolverine lightsaber claws and a darth vader helmet included with this batman armor.

@7
NO SUIT FOR YOU.
Hehe, get it?
Suit instead of soup.
Silly soup nazi.
9. Pew³ - July 18, 2009 2:08 PM
You know what this suit needs.....
...a novelty eagle head.
10. /Eyeroll - July 18, 2009 2:08 PM
I like this but if I ever saw anyone wear it I would rag on them to no end... Unless it was Ghostrider.... he NEEDS one of these mailed to him!

This is the power sick of ultimate rad coolness.
and don't forget: AWESOME!
12. Pat - July 18, 2009 2:25 PM
Sweet, but this is just asking to get arrested.
Any word yet on "Terminator" cycle gear? Oh wait, I guess that would just be riding in the nude.
13. mk - July 18, 2009 2:31 PM
mom says, "they're", actually.
14. Patrick - July 18, 2009 3:18 PM
Damn you mk. Beat me to it.
"my mom won't let me get a motorcycle because she says **their** too dangerous"
ORLY?
15. Guy - July 18, 2009 4:14 PM
Our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq should wear this stuff.
16. Joker Boy - July 18, 2009 4:56 PM
@5
Pew, dude, don't hate. You KNOW this is cool! Especially if it come with a matching cowl. I always felt that there should be a couple of Batmans in every city. I'm gonna be the first in mine...

"she says their too dangerous"
*they're
18. Dishy Dishyington - July 18, 2009 5:23 PM
This'd really go down well in a gay leather bar. And the open-backed pants must be very breezy.
19. Watch-303 - July 18, 2009 6:17 PM
DO WANT THIS!
20. Herby - July 18, 2009 7:12 PM
did you misspell "they're" on purpose in the last paragraph?
-not a grammar nazi.
21. bsod! - July 18, 2009 8:36 PM
i clicked the product site link and it bsod'd me!
wthax
22. GO SkidMaRk - July 18, 2009 11:22 PM
O M G! BBQ! Do want!
@10 - Shut up, they would laugh because of ENVY and FEAR.
23. dan - July 19, 2009 2:52 AM
do you think you can still wear this if you only have a 250cc ninja?
24. datingcougar - July 19, 2009 8:48 AM
if u are looking for the best dating sites with the large number of world wide profiles. it's out of question that the
^^^^^***K i s s C o u g a r.COM**^^^^^is the best choice for u.......u can check it out ======
25. Rootbeerhead - July 19, 2009 11:22 AM
Dude, you can wear this if you have a 50cc Ninja, it would only enhance your total badassery. Please reference post #3 or #18 for some other suggestions as to where this would be appropriate. I'm thinking during childbirth wouldn't entirely be out of the question either? Or like, maybe, I dunno, FIGHTING CRIME? (I can't believe we didn't think of this one earlier).
26. /Eyeroll - July 19, 2009 12:05 PM
@22 - The only thing people would fear from a person wearing this suit would be anal rape... and they would envy people who hadn't had their black cherries stolen by a comic loving homo.
@25 - I agree 100% The total douchebaggery of this product seems to escape those who have probably never been on a bike let alone owned one... lol
27. /Eyeroll - July 19, 2009 12:08 PM
People who would buy this are the same people who buy a 250cc with matching boots, gloves and suit all in one day to go along with the fake mohawk helmet they bought the week before. I want to door you head on at 65mph with my work truck...
28. Daisy - July 19, 2009 1:10 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshiop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie NEver BAck Down where MAx was invited to a wedding in Greece (near where the first donuts were fried) and he stuck around despite the local resident's propensity to break out into Abba songs.
29. Ciao - July 19, 2009 3:04 PM
do not want
30. Lokuzt - July 19, 2009 6:14 PM
I'M NOT WEARING HOCKEY PADS
31. Captain Untouchable - July 19, 2009 6:20 PM
If you owned it... like #5 says, you'd either have to take the arm blades off and have no one notice, or being one hell of a confident mofo, and go the whole hog: customise your helmet appropriately, stride around like you own the place, and not give a shit what anyone thinks.
Frankly, it looks badass with or without the Batman connotations... so even if the blades live in a drawer until fancy dress parties, I so want this.
32. GO SkidMaRk - July 19, 2009 9:39 PM
@26 Your just a fat loser who rides a moped and can't fit in the suit to make it look awesome. Envy is what you have sir. You envy me because I actually own a rocket, and not a slow moped you like to call a "Cruiser". Don't hate just because you can't DO. Or fit for that matter... Fatty.
33. /Eyeroll - July 20, 2009 8:05 AM
Lol my moped is a 600 GXR sir... I highly doubt you ride let alone own anything.
Fat jokes are win but only when you actually direct them at a fat person so... I don't know dude... your little rant just made me laugh. Please do buy and wear this so if I ever see anyone on it I can laugh my ass off.
34. Apok - July 20, 2009 8:54 AM
@ 3 Dude, jammies party!
I will get this and become the hero gotham needs, no wait, scare children! thats it :)
35. $.02 and a pocket full of FAH-Q - July 20, 2009 11:22 AM
This would bake the hell out of whoever was riding in it on a sunny day. Leaving driplet puddles of sweat wherever you went would counteract the badassery of the suit.
36. Rootbeerhead - July 20, 2009 12:33 PM
See? Jamma party, yay!
37. Ian - July 20, 2009 6:51 PM
The beauty of clothing is if you aren't confident enough to wear it, you don't actually have to buy it or deride those that do. So you can go flex your ego where someone might be impressed. I'll just endure the laughter from my superiors if it means I get to wear this piece of black leather glory.
38. Ha... - July 21, 2009 2:34 PM
@38 - It doesn't take confidence... To go out and actually wear this form fitting, muscle molded, black leather abomination without actually getting paid only requires either extreme narcissism or deep rooted, self denying, homosexual tendencies.
39. jose - July 22, 2009 2:05 PM
omg.. i need one of these rigth now can somebody please give me a date and how much???? i would wear it like everyday for the rest of my life
40. Frank Kress - August 15, 2009 9:31 PM
Hey #38....What's wrong with narcissism? seriously.
This is the ultimate functional Bat-suit. Now I can dress up and put my fighting skills to good use...without getting arrested.
41. Jimbatho - September 21, 2009 11:16 PM
All you need is the mask some sick boots a parachute and the skills and you could be the next batman i mean if you can fich like that i dont think people are gonna mess with you holy shit sign me up im gonna be the next batman wannabe i just need to learn how to fight lol i have the black parachute and the black Yamaha R1
42. igo - December 4, 2009 1:45 AM
@ myself, i want it, wait. *mom have you got the gyroscope from wallmart ?*
@38 true talk
