When I was washing my Gotham by Gaslight figure a lot of watered down paint would start leaking out of the joints five minutes later.
I’d recommend plain ass apple barrel jet black watered down about 50/50. It’s acrylic so you can wipe off the excess or get it wet and redo it if something happens. You can also more finely control the intensity around the seams with acrylic than a complete coat like a dye wash. Get it as dark as you want the seal him with a matte finish. Put the cape in a baggy and mask off the parts you don’t want to spray with tape.
Also noticed painting the skin around Batman’s eyes a grey instead of black gives them same effect as you want but doesn’t make the skin disappear like flat black would. If you’re repainting the eyes use a light grey instead of white.
There are some really cool sideshow collectible videos about how they paint their statues you might wanna check out.
