try cyclart, coach lubbock. they can do the painting and maybe even the accessories. pricey, but
with the wayne fortune behind you i'm sure you can afford it.

I might be easier to answer your question if we know what city you're
in.

I have one of these on my winter commuter, you'd be amazed at the number of "COOL BIKE!" comments I
get from kids.

It would be easiest to start with a fully faired recumbent tandem; that would look super-heroish
enough on its own; just attach a death ray gun.

The Kinetic Sculpture folks probably have a few methods for creative decorating on a budget. Start
at ksr.corvallis.or.usksr.corvallis.or.usOpen ↗ and kineticsculpturerace.orgkineticsculpturerace.orgOpen ↗ and look around. They've
got a mailing list- any questions will likely elicit entertaining responses.

Aha. Look up the local Art Car crowd. They understand the arts of construction and scrounging as
applied to mobile machinery.

There WAS a bicycle helmet (Bailen) which was solid black, with no holes. When the first film came
out (NON the one with Adam West), I taped a couple of "Batman" ears made out of cardboard on it.
Looked pretty "Dark Knight" too!

As for components with bat wings, I haven't seen any.

Yes, that's the windshield. Nope, not Europe, I'm right here in Wisconsin, with all the other bluff-
climbing cheeseheads. The site I posted is the manufactuerer, although a lot of their information
looks old (you should have seen the site until recently!). Here's their contact info, from the site:

Toll Free: 888-winscrn (888-946-7276)

Mine is a slightly older uprint (road bike) model that I got for free from a friend in Australia(!).
He'd bought one because of a claim that they speed you up, but found it too warm to use (it reduces
airflow over the core body significantly). I use it for precisely the reason he didn't like it,
since windchill during a Wisconsin winter can get nasty...
