The Origins of Batman
Batman is one of the most infamous superheroes of all time. His only competition in this regard is Superman, and it's a toss-up between the two of them as to which one is more instantly recognizable. As his name suggests, Batman's motif is that he dresses and behaves like a bat as he fights crime. Given that he has no superpowers, he utilizes his own superior intelligence and his vast array of gadgets that reside in the utility belt of his superhero costume to take care of business.
Batman was created by comic-book artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger in the late 1930s. The first comic book he appeared in was Detective Comics #27. He and his Batman Costume gained popularity quickly. Something about his Fancy dress caught fire with the public's imagination, and along with Superman he was one of the few superheroes to continue to be written about through the 1950s when interest in comic books was on the wane.
Batman's superhero costume consists of a black cape and a cowl with pointy ears, which is perhaps the most recognizable aspect of it. He has been depicted in many different ways over the years, but the cowl is the most consistent feature of the Batman Costume as a whole. His public persona, Bruce Wayne, is a billionaire playboy who is no stranger himself to Fancy dress, and he uses his vast monetary resources to fund his nighttime activities.
In 1940, Batman's partner-in-crime-fighting was introduced. Robin is a younger male who tags along with Batman and provides assistance. The Robin Costume is more colorful than Batman's, derived as it is from Robin's history as a circus performer. He is usually depicted as wearing a bright red vest with a yellow cape and green boots, the garishness of which serves as a distraction to the criminals he means to take out. There have been many incarnations of Robin over the years, but they all have a similar Robin Costume.Which makes them great for Mens Superhero Costumes when you want to go as a duo or a couple.
In the 1960s, the first Batman movie appeared. It was a slapstick action movie with a lot of corny humor and silly villains spouting goofy one-liners, a far cry from the character's dark beginnings. This spawned a TV show that was in a similar vein. The Batman and Robin cotumes remained the same, but the tone of the story was mostly silly and cartoonish. Eventually people tired of the gimmicks, and Batman became essentially a joke, until the 1980s when comic-artist Frank Miller reinvented the character with his two seminal series, Year One and The Dark Knight Returns. Year One presented a new origin story for the character of Batman, returning the character to its dark and nihilistic roots. Much like the original character, this dark version was a hit, and it was only a few years until a new movie was made.
The Tim Burton Batman film, released in 1989, was a dark vision that yet retained some of the campiness inherent to the character, but presented it in a serious manner. Unfortunately, after Tim Burton left, the next two films brought the character back to joke territory, even going so far as to add strange nipples to the Batman and Robin cotumes, until the character's recent reinvention by Christopher Nolan. Now Batman is back, and better than ever. Needless to say they are one of the most popular Mens Superhero Costumes on the market

Spiderman- Mens Superhero Costumes
Spiderman was created by comic book legend Stan Lee, and is part of the Marvel Comics world of Superhero's. He dreamed up Spiderman in the early 1960s, and the comic book with Spiderman in soon took off and the Spiderman Superhero Legend was born . The character is about Peter Parker, a boy in his teens who is still in school, and struggling with life's general problems of growing up that young people face. As a result, Spiderman was immediately idolized by the teenage community, and sales shot through the roof and soon had a world wide legion of fans who are now becoming grandparents.
Spiderman is embroider into the tradition of American culture, as millions of children wear the Spiderman Costume for their Halloween Outfits every Halloween. Women who might normally wear fancy dress are asking to go as Spiderwoman, which is now available. Not surprisingly, the Spiderman costume continues to be one of the most popular Halloween outfits to buy.
Spiderman has been immortalized in the movies three separate times over the course of the past decade in high-quality, action-packed major motion pictures starring Tobey Mcguire and directed by Sam Raimi. A fourth film is planned for release sometime in 2012. The superhero costumes used in the films were created by a series of designers and seamstresses, and tailored to fit the exact specifications of each of the characters.
Except for a short span in the 1980s where the traditional look was changed to an all-black getup that was very fancy dress, the original Spiderman costume has graced the pages of the classic comic book since the beginning. Skin-tight, flexible, and waterproof, the costume is built for battle. A silver webbing pattern overlays the crimson red fabrics of the upper torso, shoulders, and arms. The legs and the sides of the upper body are adorned in a smooth navy blue, helping the superhero to make his way through the night unseen.
Over the decades, a wide array of colourful, mean-spirited villains have found themselves at odds with Spiderman. Chameleon, otherwise known as Russian spy Dmitri Smerdyakov, was Spiderman’s first official enemy. Electro, The Green Goblin, and Scorpio are amongst some of the more well-known and colourful villains who enjoyed squishing spiders if given the chance, but Spiderman has long used his special spider-powers to evade harm.
Spiderman’s most valuable asset is probably his athletic prowess, including his ability to cling to vertical surfaces, and leap huge distances. Additionally, he is able to shoot a long webbing made out of a very powerful yet light material from small openings on each wrist. Much like an actual spider, if a being finds themselves inside of the web of Spiderman, bad things are about to happen. This is why The Spiderman Costumes is one of the first on the list for Mens Superhero Costumes
