By now, there’s a Guinness World Record for just about any random accomplishment you can think of, including “most functional gadgets on a cos-play suit” which is currently held by Ireland’s Julian Checkley who managed to cram 23 different contraptions into his impressive Batsuit.
His costume isn’t quite as impressive as Batman’s actual getup, but the caped crusader also benefits from technologies that only exist in comic books, or with the help of Hollywood special effects. Everything Checkley has included on his Batsuit actually works, and he’s done a good job at making it all blend in to the rest of his costume. Here’s the full list of gadgets that earned him the Guinness World Record:
Fireball shooter
Gauntlet video screens
Bat tracking beacon
Batsignal projector
Folding batarang
Grapnel gun
Cowl respirator
Pneumatic tranquilizer gun
Ultrasonic anti-dog device.
Bat shurikens
UV lamp
Ball bearing grenades
Gauntlet flashlight
Medical kit
Battery pack
Laser designator
Bat-cam
Strobe stun gun
Gas dispenser
Smoke bombs
Bat flask
Concealed laryngeal microphone
Two-way radio
We can’t help but raise an eyebrow over the ‘Bat flask’ being recognized as an official Bat-gadget, but even the Dark Knight must need the occasional hit of liquid courage to keep battling supervillains.
