Console modder Carl is a lot like Batman, well besides the fact that his parents didn’t get brutally murdered in front of his eyes and he doesn’t lead a life of fighting crime in an effort to avenge their untimely death. While he may or may not frequently sport a bat-themed costume (that morsel of information remains unknown), he does practice one trade by day and another by night. A carpenter during the sunlight hours, Carl dabbles in modding Xbox 360s long after the sun has gone down. His most recent endeavor was inspired by The Dark Knight and features everybody’s favorite schizophrenic clown. More pictures of the Batman-themed console are waiting for you after the jump, along with a small gallery of the project he completed before this one (which includes in progress images). Carl also has an unadorned case he is ready to get started on but unfortunately he has yet to be struck with inspiration for a design or general theme. If you have a suggestion on what you think he should do next, leave it in a comment!

I love The Dark Knight….
But the Joker’s head sticking out of the box is kinda creepy.
lol
I’d go with a plain one, or at least one without the head and just the writing.
:)

I like the creepiness factor of it. To me, that is what the Joker is all about. :)
Posted by COL0NEL SANDERS on April 8, 2009 at 1:20 pm
This is very true.
lol
Maybe he should make a version with the Joker’s entire body, while holding a knife!
:D

Awesome sauce, in the words of the Mythic map Pack.
And, of course, go for a Hawty Mcbloggy Invites you to play one. With Angel and Chief’s Codpiece on the box.
Wow. I am twisted.

What happens when the box dies?
Posted by Rhamsey on April 8, 2009 at 2:01 pm
its so cool looking, but the jokers face is creepy as hell

I love these designs! OMG, you are amazing! :o
I showed my mates, one of them suggested a remote control xbox lmao (Like with wheels).
My more sensible idea would be a lego xbox covered in lego bricks and lego men helping each other put the lego bricks in place.
Dumb idea I know, I lack creativity in gamertags too :)

Cool.

I would get nightmares turning this thing on. How do you do it? Poke him in the forehead and his eyes light up?

Would you believe me if I said I’ve never watched The Dark Knight?
Posted by triptup on April 8, 2009 at 3:47 pm
yes
Posted by bs angel on April 8, 2009 at 4:09 pm
No. ;)

Well, on a slightly related note, I can just imagine the Joker’s head, in an utterly silly tone…
“hay.”

I wonder what he sculpted them with….
I want some so I can try *devious laugh*

i used some stuff called milliput to make these , its available from most model shops, works like putty then goes rock hard after 3-4 hours. i made each panel one at a time let it harden then do the next one. fitting the perspex in the top was the hardest part , getting an exact fit. if the xbox does die i can just take off the shell and put it on another one as i have not covered the seams of the box , glad you like it.
