The Spooky Times

There are plenty of costumes that you can choose for your Halloween party and one great theme that you could consider is to dress up as a superhero. One perfect example that is a popular choice is to opt for a Batman Halloween costume. If you decide that this could be the thing for you, all that is left for you to think about is whether you would prefer to dress up as the retro hero that was based on the original comic book series or whether you would prefer the modern day version as depicted in the recent blockbuster movies.

Choosing Retro Batman Costume

If you are a fan of the television series that originally ran during the 1960s, then you will definitely recognise the origins of the retro Batman costume. The bodysuit of this particular outfit is made out of a gray Lycra material while the long flowing cape is black. The all important feature of this Batman costume is the bright yellow utility belt that holds everything that a superhero could possibly need when he has to go off and protect the people of Gotham City from the likes of The Joker, The Riddler, Two Face and all the other baddies.

In the television series, Batman, played by actor Adam West, wore a very tight fitting outfit which showed off the definition of his chest and emphasised his pecs. If you are not in peak condition yourself, there is no need to fear. You can now purchase a Batman costume with a padded chest area. You can be proud off your fully defined muscles while keep danger at bay. There is an emblem of the Bat that is displayed in the centre of the Lycra top and it is made to colour co-ordinate with the yellow utility belt.

The final part of this costume is the mask. This is made to completely cover the top part of the head and face so that you only see the eyes and mouth. This is the perfect disguise for any superhero. The top of the mask also features two bat-like ears in order to complete the transformation. This is a fantastic Halloween costume for children or adults and accordingly it is available in all different sizes.

Choosing Batman the Dark Knight Costume

Now the The Dark Knight costume is a very popular choice due to the huge success of the recent Batman movies. The costume that is featured in these films is much more sombre looking. Anyone who chooses this particular style for their Fancy dress will definitely stand out in a crowd.

This costume features a black bodysuit with a molded chest armour which will make you look fearsome in front of any enemies. This Batman costume also features the utility belt, a pair of gauntlets for the arms, the black cape and the head mask. To complete this look it is a really good idea to use a little black make up around the eyes so that you can replicate the piercing eye stare that the Dark Knight gives when he stares down his foe.

Whichever style of outfit you opt for, a Batman Halloween costume is a great choice for the party season.

There are some fantastic Halloween costume ideas that you can get just from looking at comic books. These are filled with lots of male and female superheroes, which led themselves perfectly to the creation of stunning costumes. One perfect example that women could choose is a Batgirl costume.

The character of Batgirl appeared in DC comics. There were several different versions before the most popular reincarnation appeared in 1966. Her alter ego in the comics is called Barbara “Babs” Gordon and she is the daughter of the Police Commissioner in Gotham City.

This costume is similar in style and colour to that of Batman and is available in all sizes so whether you are a woman, a teen, a little girl or a toddler, you will be able to find the perfect size to fit.

The great thing about choosing a Batgirl costume is that you get everything that you need included in the price. The main part of this outfit consists of the black dress. It is made from a shiny polyester fabric and features the yellow batgirl insignia on the front. The bottom of the dress has been cut so that it resembles the wings of a bat and depending on who the costume is for, it will either fall just at the knee for young girls and toddlers or it will sit around the thigh area in the adult version.

To compliment the dress, there is also a black cape. This is already attached to the back of the dress and falls to the same length as the skirt.

Just like her male counterpart, Batgirl also has a utility belt. This is made from a bright yellow fabric and incorporates the bat insignia which co-ordinates with the bat logo that is on the front of the dress.

The additional accessories that are included with this outfit are the black gauntlets and the black boot tops. The gauntlets are made to slip onto each arm. They have some extra detail work that runs along the edging of each one. The boot tops are made from the same shiny material as the dress and have been designed to fit over your boots. This can look particularly sexy as part of the adult costume especially if you team them with a pair of spiky high heel boots.

The final part of this costume is the eye mask. Batgirl is a character that needs to ensure that she protects her identity so the mask is essential. There are several different styles available but most of them have been designed to look like a bat, complete with pointy ears.

The Batgirl costume is a wonderful option for any female who is trying to decide what fancy dress outfit to wear this Halloween. This would also make a great choice if you are going as part of a double act with your partner who could dress as Batman. You would certainly make a gothastic pair.
