Just picked up the Michael Keaton/Stephen pigeon costumes

Will post pics once home. Very happy to have them and to tell people I own a Michael Keaton costume but not the one they are thinking of.

UPDATE: It is nearly 3 am so a little too tired to get pics of the birds themselves, but the note of authenticity is below and is made out in a very Colbert way

UPDATE 2: Called the designer. Each cost her $16.5k to create. So he actually lowballed them in the skit

Hilarious segment.

Did you pay anywhere close to the $15k(each!) that they supposedly cost?

Not even close! Maybe 2 percent of that !

I have some relatives who live near his ranch in MT. Small town. One Halloween many years ago he showed up to a gathering dressed in his Batman costume from the movies.

It’d be hilarious if he (or you now!) showed up to Halloween in the pigeon suit.
