Joker Bank Heist Mask weathering

Quick video of the final weathering on my Joker Bank Heist mask. I used a black sharpie to better define the mouth, black mesh to the eyes, a few scuffs with sandpaper all over, some deep scratches with a small flat screwdriver, a rub down with used coffee grounds to dye and darken the etched resin and a few brushed highlights with black eyeliner (new trick I discovered) and its way more movie accurate. I am pleased :)

We are all still waiting for the tutorial to come out 😭😭😭

Brooo nice job customizing the mask, it really looks like a replica from the movie, "The Dark Knight", this has got to be one of the most iconic masks out there.

Ian Aldrich Sobrepeña Thank you! I plan to make a new updated video on this mask, I’ve since weathered it more and added a more movie accurate white strap to the back of it

[@ianaldrich8431]

Sir, how does one weather a mask? How do you do it?

[@TheHillsdaleBatman]

Ian Aldrich Sobrepeña for mine I scratched it up with sandpaper in various areas and dug jagged lines in it with a small screwdriver, then used coffee grounds to stain it a darker white, but ended up using dirt to make it more grittier, I’m going to finally be uploading a new vid that explains my process along with how it looks now :) look for it this next week on my channel!!

[@ianaldrich8431]

That's a lot of process! :D I hope you include in your future videos of how you put a white strap on this mask and ALSO how you apply covers on the eyes...

[@ianaldrich8431]

Hillsdale Batman, can you please make a video of how you cover the eyes of your masks? I'm really interested in masks...

[@ipodgames1000]

I just bought one and want to make it look like this, can you make a tutorial?

[@TheHillsdaleBatman]

Yes!! I will be making a tutorial video, or at least an updated one on how i made it look this way, I've been swamped with work and come current cosplay projects, but i know several of you guys have asked me to and still haven't gotten time to film it, lol :P

[@stefanosvalos3795]

Did the tutorial ever get done ?

[@jonasvm]

[@TheHillsdaleBatman]

jonasvm88 if you check out my Instagram page The-Hillsdale-Batman I posted pics on there :) I’ve been holding down two full time jobs the past 6 months but trying to get a studio out together to showcase my growing collection and completed suits!!

[@mitschcrafter6766]

Omg...i need 1 of those

[@papakirby2576]

Mmmmm, I like well done bro

[@SandeepTuladhar]

Can you make a tutorial on how it was done? I tried with coffee today and nothing happened. How did u use coffee to get that colour?

[@davidrey4183]

Could you do an update vid on the process of weathering it and how you changed the strap ?

[@TheHillsdaleBatman]

YES! I've been meaning to film an updated video of this cosplay, I moved shortly after I posted this video and it got packed away, but I'm pulling it back out and have been tweaking it some more for an upcoming con :)

[@manlioucleon3651]

Pleaaaaase a tutorial :(

[@TheChillStart]

How did you add the black to the eyes?

[@calebmirabal4251]

can you make a tutorial pleaseeeeeee

[@andresmosqueda3946]

Where did you get that bust-like stand to hold the mask? It looks very similar to the one in the movie!!

[@TheHillsdaleBatman]

Are ya talking the head that the mask is on? It’s just a styrofoam head on a small base with a metal rod :)

[@andresmosqueda3946]

@@TheHillsdaleBatman I mean the whole base

[@TheHillsdaleBatman]

The original base came from a Bre Toys Batman cowl that I bought a number of years ago

[@PinhasHD]

Hello, great videos on this Joker heist costume. I'm making one myself and i just got the exact mask as you. Could you please make a quick tutorial on how you weather it? i'm also following the evolution on your costume and hope to see it finished and you wearing it. P.s: Are you going to use the black elastic bands or use a white one like in the original movie? Kind regards.

[@TheHillsdaleBatman]

Cristiano Santos yes, I can! I'll give a quick overview of the steps I went through as well as a few photos of the completed cosplay, which turned out awesome and was a huge hit at the con back in May!!

[@TheHillsdaleBatman]

Cristiano Santos in regards to the elastic bands, I removed all mine, plus the rivets and filled those in with epoxy and painted over them and attached a wide white band across the back and weathered it as well

[@PinhasHD]

Awesome! I´m planning to do that as well. I can't await to see your next video. Keep up the good work. Kind regards.

[@TheHillsdaleBatman]

Cristiano Santos I've not forgotten!! I'm in the process of moving and will be setting up my cosplay at my new place, where I can shoot the update and weathering process :)

[@PinhasHD]

Don´t worry. I've subscribed and will receive a note when you upload a new video. Keep up the good work. Kind regards.

[@calebmirabal4251]
