TORONTO, Ontario, Canada (October 20, 2009) – The debut of the hand-crafted, remarkably detailed Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit from UD Replicas has elicited enormous response from fans worldwide – but the opportunity to own one of only 1,000 suits ends on Oct. 31, the deadline for ordering at www.udreplicas.com.

  “Batman fans recognize that nothing like this has ever been created and we’ve received orders from around the globe,” says David Pea, owner of Universal Designs, which is producing the screen-accurate Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit under license from Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC Comics.

  UD Replicas, the officially licensed division of Universal Designs, is strictly limiting production of the full Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit to 1,000 pieces, which will retail for US $998.  Due to shipping restrictions, orders can be placed only for addresses in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia.  Outside of the U.S., the retail price is $1,149 CDN.  Orders for the full Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit will be accepted only through Saturday, Oct. 31.  Payment may be split into three equal installments by following ordering instructions at www.udreplicas.com.

  The Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit includes a full-leather jacket, pants, gloves and boots, and these elements can also be ordered separately at www.udreplicas.com.  The boots, which go on sale Nov. 1, are exact replicas of those worn on screen in The Dark Knight, featuring custom-made rubber boot soles with a black injection-molded rubber base and high-quality, tanned cowhide leather featuring a deep-embossed, basket-weave design.  Among the features of the gloves – which are currently on sale – are high-impact, Kevlar-lined knuckle guards and skid-resistant, Kevlar-lined outer palms.

 

  But it’s the Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit that has generated the most attention, with MTV.com calling it “the next best thing” to being Batman himself, and Screen Rant adding, “When you first see it, you instantly want one.”

The Dark Knight Motorcycle Suit will ship its maximum of 1,000 orders no later than March 2010.  “Our production is based on the orders received,” Pea explains, “ensuring that fans who place an order by Oct. 31 will have a truly rare, intricately crafted Motorcycle Suit that is truly custom made for them.”
