I can help with a few of these!

!. I used fleece for my first bat suit for the wings, and flannel for this next one I'm working on (since I need to dye a design on the wings and fleece does -not- take dye nicely)
2. Depends, if its foam I'd use wire, resin springs. If foam, I did a mock up test and found this way seems to be the most sensitive option http://fursuit.tanidareal.com/savoy/en/03fmakeheada.htm
3. It's up to you and what the design is going to be. My first bat, I made the wings part of the arm, and the hands separate and would grab onto the wire part of the wing to open it up all the way. This next one I'm working on, the commissioner wants two fingers out, the pointer and the thumb, and the other fingers hidden, which I'll probably just make a mitten like-thing for the other 3 fingers.

For my first bat, I used wire coat hangers that I coated wit rubber to cover the sharp edges. Some people use wire, maybe 12 gauge or thicker.

Here's my first bat http://www.furaffinity.net/full/20755780/

And the concept art of the one I'm currently working on http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21488860/

Thanks so much Nori!
Are the fleece pieces of the bat membrane part (photoshoot picture) double sided? Or did you just cut it out?

It's just one layer cut out to the shape, since this fleece was pretty thick. The 'fingers' have foam in them to keep the fleece a bit straighter. :)

I went to the fabric store today and I found 2 types of fabric; Polyester and cotton. Which do you guys think is better to use as the membrane part of the suit?

Up to you and what you think feels good. I think polyester (I've mostly worked with fleece so my info might be a bit off) frays much less than cotton, but you can't modify it much with dyes and bleach. Cotton doesn't hold sweat smell as much, since its natural fibers. I'd go with whatever one you like the best, if you aren't going to be modifying colors or anything, and if you like both, go with the cheapest if they're both the same quality :)

I guess I will be going with polyester then haha
Main concern however is that it will shrink..?

That's why you wash the fabric the same way you would wash what you're making it into :) It's a good idea for any fabric (except fur) before you cut it and sew it just to be safe :) Polyester doesn't usually shrink since its plastic, but just wash it before hand :) And I meant that cotton keeps the sweat smell contained a bit more, I didn't work it right. I personally like fleece more for wings, it just looks a bit better personally.

It -looks- like it could be some kind of thin spandex, maybe 2-way stretch with the stretch going vertical, since when the suit opens its wings all the way the folds are still there, and if the stretch was horizontal I'd imagine it would be a bit flatter. Also since you can see the light from behind it. I don't know much other fabric that would look like that, but that's my best guess.
