An American student has created a Batman-style suit that can withstand assaults from punches , baseball bats and even knifes . Jackson Gordon , an industrial design student from Philadelphia University , constructed the armoured suit with money raised through Kickstarter – a global crowd-funding platform designed to aid creative endeavors . Hoping to raise $ 1000 to begin the project , Jackson received backing from 17 enthusiasts and raised $ 1255 – more than enough to begin assembling the suit . Without breaking a sweat : Jackson Gordon holds his hands behind his head as his friend tests the suit with some heavy punches . Made from Kevlar and silicone moulds , the Batsuit weighs in at just under four stone and took the 21-year-old from Wayne , Pennsylvania five months to complete from start to finish . Videoed testing the final product with a friend , Jackson is featured being repeatedly punched in the chest , back and sides while wearing the suit . Despite Jackson flinching slightly under the impact of the punches , the suit is remarkably durable and the young designer even calls for his friend to hit him harder and with both hands . Made from Kevlar and silicone moulds , the Batsuit is able to withstand the heavy punches that repeatedly rain in . The suit weighs in at just under four stone and took the 21-year-old five months to complete from start to finish . Laughing as the blows rain in , Jackson showcases the strength of the soft plates on the side and shoulder area alongside the harder ones , which also hold up well against the impact . Smiling at the camera in admiration for his suit , The student says : ‘ I could do this all day . I can ’ t even feel it. ’ This is the second batsuit created by Jackson , who previously made one based on Christopher Nolan ’ s Dark Knight Trilogy a year before .
