Mens Superhero Costumes Batman

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
