This incredibly detailed and life-like replica of the Batman mask from Batman: Arkham Origins is ideal for super fans of the Dark Knight. Not only is this mask a opulent work of craftsmanship, it also lights up.

One of the most important features of Batman's costume is his cowl that conceals his Bruce Wayne identity and turns him into a bat. This replica, designed by TriForce, cleverly replicates each little detail of the mask seen in Batman: Arkham Origins from the super sharp bat ears to the hollowed out eye slits. The mask weighs approximately 35 pounds in total and comes with a base designed to look like Batman's Bat Cave. The base features eight miniature [LED spotlights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aesthetic-skin-led-face-mask) that illuminate the mask and make it shine. The mask is also painted entirely by hand and comes with a $850 price tag.
