Rubie's Costume Men's Arkham City Deluxe Batman Gloves

True they are made in a LARGE form but that's not the sellers fault its the manufacturers fault BUT there is really good potential in these for modification i fixed then by cutting off the hands the the knuckle plates and hand plate glueing them to a pair of more fitting gloves and making a foam insert for the gauntlet so my arm will fit in them and a few coats of plastidip later they look awesome the details in the gloves are good they just need some work, for the cosplayers out there that are not of the lazy variety you can relate :) this is the end result on my modifications they are awesome.

I have ordered Rubie's items before and were completely happy with other items, which made me even more completely disappointed in the utter lack of quality of these gloves. The picture is misleading and makes them look much better than they actually are. Granted, the do photograph just like that, but beware, that is not what they look like in person. They are one solid rubber molded piece, that is sparkley silver, not black. And that top claw is not anywhere near in line with the others. But the biggest problem of all, and why I will be returning them, is that they are ridiculously humongous! Like clown-sized big! If they actually fit, it would be possible to paint and modify them into something cool ... but I also should not have to mod an item that cost almost $30! But the utter hugeness of the size makes modding them impossible. Again, sorely disappointed in both Rubie's and Amazon, who lately has an abundance of bad products in their market :(

I can't say I don't like them to much but they were not what I expected.They look great but not very functional. The forearms of the gloves are very large and don't hold there shape well if worn.With a little work done to them they could be very cool

Alright, Read all the reviews. EVERYONE is RIGHT. These are "Clown Gloves", But...But, if you put in the work, they are "Amazing" as a "Starter Kit" For constructing the "Gauntlets" You envision. Now, they are my first ever Project. It took me a "Razor", and LOTS of VELCRO. First thing I did was get rid of the "Gloves", cutting them "Free", leaving only the "Gauntlets". The Left piece was shaped well and hard. The Right piece was weak and "Deformed". So, consistentcy might not be present, batch to batch. I only used about 50 percent of the material, to Wrap around "Real Steel Gauntlets" that I have. So for me, these get Five Stars, because they were amazing as "Material" to add to actual "Gauntlets" to acquire The "Dark Knight" theme and experience was wonderful. The End Result would be more like a hundred dollars, and the 30 was well spent on getting the "Frame" I needed for this result. So the pictures are AFTER customization and are NOT what you get with your purchase.. Might need two pairs, to ensure quality cuts.

To loose & flabby

So, somehow I missed all the bad reviews on this product. I usually pay attention to reviews closely on amazon but somehow didn't see all the warnings on these gloves, which turned out to be 100% true.1. These gloves are for a giant. I have really large hands and they were WAAAAY too big for me.2. They are terrible quality molded rubber. They are clearly enhanced in the picture as all the components are puffed out and in 3 dimensions, but in reality all the details are floppy and flat. You'd have to really work on these gloves to make them look like the picture.3. They are sprayed with a silver paint and are way lighter silver than in the picture. They look multi-toned black/grey in the picture but they are pretty much just mat silver in real life. Way to light, need to be darker black.I'm returning these, happy that I bought an alternative to try at the same time.

These are really poorly made. They do not look like the picture. Very cheap and do not look like batman gloves.

I like these gloves as they make your hands/forearms larger than life and isn't that what Batman is all about? I prefer some contrasting colors/textures in my costume to better show some of the details, so I didn't mind the coloring either. My biggest complaint is that my hands/arms get hot in them as they don't breathe and between the cape, gloves, and cowl... It doesn't take long to overheat when walking in 70 degreeish temps. I will probably do as others on here have and keep the gauntlets/hand details and attach them to a breathable pair of gloves that will allow me to use my phone without removing the gloves and hopefully keep me a little cooler.
