Summary
DC Comics’Batmanis a visually distinct hero whose bat motif and associated costume design has scared the daylight out of criminals, supervillains, and friends and family alike for decades, with his stoic attitude only complementing his fright factor. Now, in an incredible set of cosplay images based on the highly detailed art of Lee Bermejo,Batman steps off the page and into the real world in a way that erases the line between comic art and photography.
A series of images shared on social media via Instagram, Nicholas Tilly Haun (@tillystechnique) is a professional artist and cosplayer who illustrates characters from across the comic industry while also bringing to lifeGotham’s Dark Knight in cosplay form, with all three of these images edited by the prolific digital creator known as Soumik (@pixelens._).
Collaborating with other creative talents from around the community, Nicholas has worn his batsuit alongside other cosplayers dressed as Catwoman, Lobo, and more, with the steady flow of art popping up on his page tiding fans over until his next homemade Batman design is revealed.

Based on the gritty art style that Lee Bermejo is widely known and praised for, these images pull from various covers Lee has created— specifically from his uniqueBatman: Dear Detectiveproject— with each new cosplay photo paying nearly identical homage to Lee’s Batman content. Illustrating tiny details that help make his version of Batman feel grounded, realistic, and downright terrifying, the idea that anyone outside of Lee can create a similar-looking Batman on the page, let alone in real life, is a feat to be sure, and is something that Nicholas and Soumik seemingly pull off with ease.
Sharing photos alongside the Lee Bermejo artwork each was inspired by,it’s made immediately apparent that Nicholas’ take on Batman was destined to representLee’s unique art style. Wearing a full batsuit while standing over a reflective rain puddle, getting swallowed by the villainous Clayface, and unfurling his cape while posing in front of the Batmobile in the Batcave, Nicholas — and by extension, Soumik and their incredible contributions to the edit of the images as well as the background elements that make each pop — finds a way to blur the line between art and cosplay to create something awe-inspiring.
