This is the cowl worn by Christian Bale as Batman. It was designed by Lindy Hemming with a firm nod to the cowl designs from the previous movies worn by Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney. It is fabricated from a specially made, high quality black rubber with inbuilt netting. There are metal sections over the eyebrows, under the eyes and across the nose to add to its incredible strength. There are also supports in the ears and the cowl has been lined with soft black fabric for the comfort of the actor.  There are breathing holes at the nose and metal fixings on the front for its attachment to rest of the costume. It stands approximately 20 inches high.
