I got this belt along with my Batman Dark Knight deluxe costume and most the other optional accessories such as the mask/cowl. I think that this belt is a drastic improvement over the deluxe costumes latex belt, it is sturdy, can handle added accessories that you want to hang from it, and the links are interchangeable so you can move them around. I read somewhere that people have added magnets to the inner parts of the belt sections in order to have dangling metal objects such as batarangs and stuff which is cool, I think I will give it a shot. Overall, very pleased with item.
