Bob Ringwood

I picked Bob Ringwood becuase he's the dude who did the Batman returns costume.

I also figured out that he did costume designs for empire of the sun, alien 3, troy, batman 1989, and other cool movies.

Date of Birth: 1946, London, England, UK more
Trivia:Worked in the theater for fourteen years prior to embarking on a film career. more
Awards: Nominated for 2 Oscars. Another 2 wins & 11 nominations.


I loved he designed the costume, more heavier looking, more muscular, and more awesome looking. The suit weighs around thirty-pounds, so the suit was a real time spender but it was worth it.


Career Highs: Empire of the Sun (87), and The Batman series (89-95) -Though the Batman Forever designs were when the series started getting way gaudy, Ringwood is also responsible for the absolutely classic Catwoman costume in Batman Returns (with co-designer Mary Voght) about which he said "When you have to somebody as Michelle...who has endless legs, you wish to show all her wonderful pieces".
