Description This pic was taken by a very talented Brisbane photographer named Rebecca Burton. Unfortunatley she does not have a DA account, but I am pressuring her to get one.

I love the job she has done here, the lighting the portrait style and the grittyness captures the elements of this character perfectly.

The pic was taken when I was doing my Batman Arkham Asylum cosplay on the Friday of Supanova in Brisbane last April.

I love this pic, and I hope you do too.

I hardly think words can describe how amazing this picture is, Paul. At first, I couldn't even recognize you because of the stubbles! Probably your best so far!

batman looks really pissed off. I guess the photogropher stopped batman from capturing the Joker and putting him back in Arkham.

good pic btw.

Wow You have never looked more frightening,my friend! The photographer has done a brilliant job with the lighting and you look simply amazing in that cowl. And I think your three-day beard adds a lot to the gritty feel of this pic This goes straight into my faves. Awesome.

Thank you my good friend. I thought that you would really appreciate this pic. I was so amazed when I saw this pic. Rebecca did a great job, not only on the lighting, focus and editing, but on being able to convey the grittiness I always try and give when in this suit.
Thanks for the fave on this too mate.

You are very welcome,buddy! By the way,how are you doing down there in Brisbane? That flood in your city looks horrific. I hope you guys are fine...

Yes mate, we are. The city is about 49 kilometres south of us and Ipswich is about 79 kilometres south west, so it is away from us. Having said that, the river behind us flooded on Tuesday and water was at the end of our street. Some parts of our suburb flooded and people were evacuated, however, my house, and then end of my street where we are is the highest point in our suburb. We did however have a flood in the garage and lost some things.
We are safe and dry and thank you for your concern and thoughts

I'm relieved to hear that you are alright. I hope this will be over soon. Stay careful!

We will mate. The initial flood has receded, but the damage will take about two years to fix.

This is awesome I'm confused as this looks like a 3D-model, hahah I'm having a hard time believing it's a photograph, haha, and this is actually a good thing in this case. I mean, you look so real as Batman, my mind figures this has to be artificial, I guess.. Great shot!

No not a 3-d model, just an extreme closeup of me in costume.
Thanks for the great comment.

Heh, I believe you.. But I think it's the lightning. This picture could be a 3D-model for a Dark Knight Returns game, haha

Actually, I didn't realise the similarity of this pic to the end of the Arkham City trailer. But I did this 9 months ago and that trailer came out two weeks ago.
