The suit is based on one from the videogame Batman: Arkham Origins. It was 3D printed, then moulded and cast in a flexible rubber.

British designer, Checkley, said: “There were many long hours trying devising the gadgets and finding ways to store them on the suit. They are classic gadgets but also some are specific to Batman: Arkham Origins. I am immensely proud of my Guinness World Records title and to be part of the Gamer’s Edition is just the next level.”
