Chibi Batman Papercraft

I like the stern smirk on the face of this chibi Batman papercraft. His costume appears to be the traditional comic book version and not one of the versions that has appeared in movies or video games. This model was created by Paperwar in 2014. The finished figure stands about 8" (20 cm) tall. The locked Pepakura PDO template may be downloaded here. The template may be opened with Pepakura Viewer without a password. The newest movie about the Dark Knight, The Batman, was released in US theaters on March 4, 2022.

Miniature Batman Vehicle Paper Models

Here are some really cool miniature papercraft Batman vehicles by PRmodels. Two of the set are the Batmobile and Batwing from the 1989 Batman movie. The other two are the Tumbler tank and "The Bat" aircraft from the 2008 Dark Knight movie. The templates for the 1989 micromodels may be downloaded here. The templates for the 2008 micromodels may be downloaded here. PRmodels warns that due to their size these models are very difficult to build. Good luck if you try!

3D Papercraft Joker Mask

If I were looking for a Joker mask that is most true to how the villain appears in the pages of Batman comic books, I would look no further than this mask. The Joker's insanely evil personality is captured perfectly in the facial expression of the mask. But be warned, this papercraft is not for beginners. As the author explains, certain parts of the mask have no gluing tabs, so improvisation is required when gluing the mask together. The Pepakura PDO template for the mask may be downloaded here.

Doctor Doom

Frankenstein's Monster

Joker Papercraft

The Joker is one of the most iconic comic book characters in the world. He is the very antithesis of his archenemy, Batman. This fan-made paper model of the Joker was created by DeviantART member Wackywelsh. A printable PDF may be downloaded here. Wackywelsh based his model on a template developed by Xavier Gale-Sides. Previously posted superhero papercraft in this style include: The Avengers, The X-Men, Loki, Doctor Octopus, The New Mutants, Superman and Supergirl.

2.5D Batman Paper Toy

Desktop Gremlins has added to their free papercraft collection. This time it is an animation style Batman! With only two pieces and no glue required, this has to be the easiest papercraft Batman anywhere to be found. The PDF template for the toy may be downloaded here.  The template includes two options: the classic animated style Batman pictured above and a more sinister Dark Knight style Batman.

Batman Dark Knight Paper Toy

This Batman paper toy was created by Bamboogila in 2012 to celebrate the release of The Dark Knight Rises movie. Don't know how I missed this one the first time around. :) I am looking forward to a new wave of Batman papercraft when the Batman vs. Superman movie is released in 2016. The PDF template for this paper toy may be found here.

Arkham City Harley Quinn Papercraft

In the DC Comics universe, Harley Quinn is the right-hand woman of The Joker, Batman's archenemy. Once a psychiatric intern, Harley is now as insane as the criminals she once attempted to treat. This Harley Quinn papercraft is based on a 3D model from the Batman: Arkham City video game. The Pepakura PDO template for Harley is by Sheol Papercraft and may be downloaded here.  The finished model stands around 13.8" (35 cm) tall.

Printable Dark Knight Rises Masks

These Dark Knight Rises masks by Patrick Sullivan were recently featured on Vulture.com. The thing I like about these masks is their simplicity. Each one is a single piece that is folded and taped to form the mask. But alas, there is a catch. The masks require 11" x 17" size paper which is too large for many home printers to handle. To make printing easier for myself I split each template into two letter size (8.5" x 11") parts that can be taped together. Links to copies of the split templates are listed below.

Bane Mask
Batman Mask
Catwoman Mask

Papercraft Arkham City Batman Bust

This 26" (67cm) tall papercraft bust of Batman is how the Dark Knight appears in the Batman: Arkham City video game. The game was one of the highest rated to be released in 2011. The template for the bust is available in Pepakura PDO format only.

UPDATE 7/20/25: This papercraft is no longer available. :( Let me know if you have a copy of the PDO you would be willing to share with me.

Batman Papercraft: Catwoman

With a new movie coming out next month, thoughts are beginning to turn to Batman papercraft. ^^ This Catwoman paper model was created in 2008 by Phh29 and resembles the version of the feline villain seen in Tim Burton's 1992 movie Batman Returns. This model comes in Pepakura PDO format only and is available in both 21cm and 31cm versions. Download links for the templates are located at maquettes-papier.net.

Animation Style Batman Papercraft

I was unable to find much information on this Batman papercraft I came across. It looks like it may have been modeled after one of the Batman animated TV series from the 1990's, but whether it was created from scratch or from a video game 3D model I can't say. The PDO file for the model says it was unfolded by "Cuguel" who may be the same person who was involved in creating the Alien xenomorph life cycle papercraft I posted a while back. The Pepakura template for this paper model is available here.

Batman Papercraft

MarianoDG from imprime-recorata-pega.com has created another detailed comic book character papercraft! Mariano lists the difficulty of this Batman Papercraft at "hard" but notes that "it is not as hard as it looks". ^^ All the previous superhero papercraft models I have seen from Mariano have been Marvel Comics characters. So unless I missed one, this may be his first paper model of a DC Comics character. Batman, along with Superman and Wonder Woman, is one of the most popular characters in the DC Comics Universe. A download for this papercraft is available here.

Batman Papercraft: Dark Knight Cowl

This papercraft cowl duplicates the one worn by Batman in the 2008 movie, The Dark Knight. The template for the cowl consists of 89 pieces and is available in Pepakura PDO format only. Matthew Shane has made a download of the template available here.

Hot Wheels Scale Movie Vehicles Papercraft

Papercrafter Dave Winfield has an amazing collection of Hot Wheels scale papercraft cars available for download on his website. In addition to papercraft recreations of actual Hot Wheels toy cars from the the late 60's, Dave also offers small scale papercraft cars from movies and television. Pictured above (starting in the upper left and moving clockwise) are the Mystery Machine van from the Scooby Doo television show, Korben Dallas' flying taxi from the science fiction movie The Fifth Element, Snot Rod from the Disney Pixar movie Cars, and finally the Batmobile from the 1989 Batman movie. Templates for all the cars mentioned above are available here.

1960's Batmobile Paper Toy

This paper toy was modeled after the Batmobile that appeared in the 1960's Batman television series. The boxy shape is due to the fact that it is a customization of the "Foldskool" paper toy template by Marshall Alexander. The template for this Batmobile is the creation of paper toy designer Matthijs Kamstra [aka MCK] and may be found on his website here.

Retro Papercraft Batman Mask

Illustrator Katie Cook has created a papercraft mask that hearkens back to the Silver Age of Comic Books. The template for this 1960's style Batman cowl is one piece, one page and may be downloaded here. Katie is a talented artist who, among other things, works on Clone Wars webcomics for starwars.com. Hey Katie, how about a Captain America mask next? ;)
