Ever wondered where Batman’s villains get their outfits?
Spotted this yesterday and it’s just awesome. A chap over on deviantart *drew this on his holiday* after asking himself that very same question.
It’s a fantastic premise and a brilliant execution.
I’ve snapped a few of the images, but you must must must read the whole thing.
Amazing work.

We’re writing you this poem
Because you’ve lifted our mood
Gotham City’s tailor
Makes suits that are groovy
Which is why we think he
Deserves a spin-off movie
When tech and design marry
The world should take heed
For true craftsmanship is heroic
A rarity indeed
He designs the very clips
That hold a utility belt
And the cape which withstands bullets
But is softer to touch than felt
If you happen to come across
This talented tinkerer tailor
Ask him to forward us his CV
To Bosch in a PDF mailer
Because us folks at Bosch
Are committed to innovation
And we loved your latest blog post
With Gotham-based inspiration
You may think of us as the folks behind
Kitchen based appliances
But just like your hero Batman
We’re into technical sciences
That fuel creative thinking
And keep the world safe from harm
For example, our security systems
Maintain London Underground’s calm
And we’re sure the streets of Gotham
Would be better with Bosch camera domes
And our Worcester heating & hot Water solutions
Could heat and hydrate homes
Within Gotham’s districts
With environmental ease
Enough to warm the cockles
Of the coldest Mister Freeze
Our garden tools keep weeds at bay
As Poison Ivy will attest
Our power-tools are more efficient
Than anything under Batman’s vest
Harvey Dent may have two faces
Which tighten the nerves of feds
But OUR cordless screwdrivers
Have multiple exchangeable heads
We can’t compete with Joker’s quips
Our rep isn’t for being funny
We’ve built our heritage on honesty
And quality goods for your money
When does Batman go shopping?
When does he go to bed?
Whilst his logo lights up Gotham’s skies,
(Alongside our logo of white and red)
We’re not superheroes
We’re just good at what we do
And yes, Bosch does a LOT of things
Most of which you never knew
The Batmobile’s an agile beast
Made with technology that’s hard to top
But we’re the pioneers in automotive
Enabling precision tech: Start-stop
And whilst the tailor stitches costumes
With special thread upon his bobbin
We salute his dedication
To the cool clothes of Batman (and Robin)
With a POW!, WHACK! KAPPOWWW!
We fill your comments section with noise
In homage to your Dark Knight love
And the Bat Cave’s glistening toys
Apologies if we’ve gone on a bit
You may think of us as insane
But we’re hopefully been more articulate
Than Tom Hardy’s muffled Bane
So WhatleyDude, Riddle us this
What five-letter hero defines our age?
Don’t look to W-A-Y-N-E
(It’s B-O-S-C-H!)
We’re anticipating the next episode
Of the excellent “The Voicemailâ€
And hearing your energised tones
You could voice-coach Christan Bale
And whilst you’re recording your weekly podcast
We promise we won’t make a sound
But like the Dark Knight’s shadow
Bosch is All Around (http://bit.ly/BoschUK)
