# Badass Superhero Armor The Medieval Batman Armor by the Price Armory is Epic By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-02-22 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medieval-batman-armor References: [io9](http://io9.com/5887246/medieval-batman-armor-turns-you-into-a-dark-knight-literally) & [facebook](http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150543548821439.371022.251115841438&type=1) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Medievalized Superhero Suits:** Opportunity to innovate by redesigning superhero costumes with a medieval twist. - **Fantasy-inspired Weaponry:** Opportunity to innovate by creating weapons that look like they belong in a fantasy universe. - **Crossover Costuming:** Opportunity to innovate by creating a crossover of different genres in a costume. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment Industry:** Opportunity to innovate by creating crossover content in the entertainment industry. - **Costume and Fashion Industry:** Opportunity to innovate by creating medievalized versions of popular costumes in the costume and fashion industry. - **Weaponry Industry:** Opportunity to innovate by creating weaponry that is aesthetically inspired by fantasy and science fiction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Superhero-inspired Stealthy Puffers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solander-batman.md) - [Film-Inspired Graphic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dark-knight-collection.md) - [Dark Superhero Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-blvck-collection.md) - [Superhero-Themed Hypercar Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina.md) - [AI-Generated Motorbike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coldstar-art.md) - [Superhero-Themed DIY Art Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jim-lee-batman.md) - [Superhero Luxury Fountain Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superhero-fountain-pen.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Water Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maverick-gt-stormy-knight.md) - [Dark Knight Gamer Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secretlab-titan-evo-2022-the-batman-movie-edition.md)
