The Medieval Batman Armor designed by the Prince Armory would have the Joker running for cover. This leather armor took Batman's title 'The Dark Knight' and made it quite literal, giving Batman a gigantic sword that looks like it belongs in Mortal Kombat.
The role of “Lord Wayne” was played by model Carlos Blanchard in this shoot. The armor Blanchard rocks is complete with layered shoulder blades and a nightmarish helmet with black horns. In one image, the Dark Knight sits upon a throne while his bat-handled sword stands tall beside him.
Hopefully, some Hollywood producer sees this Medieval Batman Armor and is inspired to re-boot the series with a Game of Thrones twist -- geeks everywhere would have a field day.
