Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ehara a Jackson Gordon i te 21 tau noa iho te pakeke. I te awatea he ākonga hoahoa ahumahi ia ki te Whare Wānanga o Philadelphia, engari he taha kē atu a Gordon ki a ia - he taha pōuri rawa, pakeke ake, he mea whakamataku ake. E whakairihia ana i roto i tana awheawhe, he kākahu a Gordon, he kākahu, he pōtae, he pango matotoru, he mea hanga hei aukati i te maripi. He tangata kē a Gordon: ko te Knight Dark ia, ko Batman. Ka tūmanako pea koe ka pōhēhē te kōrero mō tōna takenga mai, engari i te kōrero ki CNN, ka tere a Gordon ki te whakamārama i te āhua o te hurihanga. E ai ki a Gordon, e rima tau ki muri i puta ai tana karanga i te wā i tīmata ai ia ki te whakamātau i te cosplay. "I mua, i uru ahau ki te hanga kākahu... I hanga e au he putanga o te Batsuit mai i te 'Dark Knight Trilogy' a Christopher Nolan a he tino pai ki ahau taua kakahu, "e kii ana a Gordon. Engari, ahakoa he tino pai tana hoahoa, kaore i rite te mahi, te pono ranei o te taonga pono. "I pouri ahau i nga wa katoa i mau ai ahau", ka whakamārama a Gordon. "I tino whakaitihia taku nekehanga, ā, kāore au i pai ki tērā -- kāore i ōrite ki te pūāhua". I te marama o Hepetema 2014 i kai ia i te pupuhi, i whakatau ia "ki te mahi i tetahi atu kaore e aukati i taku nekehanga ka whakarato i te tiaki me te mahi ano he kakahu o Batman". Me kaha te kākahu pōro -- kia kaha ki te tu atu ki te wero, te tapahi rānei o te maripi, te pānga o te patu, o te pōro pehipōro rānei, engari kia māmā, kia mārama hoki ki te mahi. Ko te whakatutukitanga o taua toenga i hiahiatia ai nga rauemi utu nui, a kaore i iti te utu. Na reira ka whakaoho a Gordon i tētahi pakanga Kickstarter. "Kāore ia i tino whakaaro ka utua e tētahi, ka āwangawanga rānei ki a ia" -- i whakaarahia e ia $1,255 i roto i ngā rā e ono. "He mea miharo noa iho", ko te whakahē a Gordon. I a ia e tuhi ana i tana rārangi hokohoko, he mea nui kia "ngā wāhi katoa, ahakoa ngā wāhi kāore i te whakakikoruatia, he momo parenga". Ko te Kevlar i ahu mai i te papanga taketake, na te mea "ka taea te tapahi me te tapahi ki nga patu patu, engari ka manawa, ka mau tonu i te ra katoa". I te karo i nga rauemi noa, i whiriwhiria e Gordon he momo pungarehu mahara, i hangaia...
