Looking for Batman costumes? Batman has been the star of his own comic book series, and a bunch of movies. Whether you are a fan of the Dark Knight because of his DC comic series, or because you watched The Dark Knight, Batman Forever, or Batman & Robin, Batman is a great character to choose as a Halloween costume. Of course, the series also has plenty of other heroes and villains who make life in Gotham very interesting and make costumes very hard to choose.

Costuming the Dark Knight (also known as Batman) is an easy choice. Few characters in this comic universe have such a tragic beginning, and such a dark attitude as Batman.

The Joker Costume |
After all, had Bruce Wayne’s parents not died during a robbery, Batman wouldn’t have become the hero who he is today. If you are looking to dress up as Batman, you have plenty of choices. You can choose the “old school” Silver Era costume, or something more extreme, like the costume he wore in Batman Forever.
Most of the costumes that Batman has worn are blue, black, and/or grey. For people who are looking for a different color scheme for their costume, they should consider the costume that he wore in Batman Beyond.
Women who are looking to have a costume similar to Batman, or simple work hand-in-hand with the Dark Knight should look into dressing up as Batgirl.
Batgirl, just like her male counterpart, has a utility belt, a grey and blue costume, and lots of attitude. Batgirl is a blonde, so make sure to buy that blonde wig.
No Batman (or Batgirl) costume is complete without a utility belt. Buying a Batman belt buckle, and accessorizing your favorite belt is a great way to achieve this. People who are really looking to be a hit at the party can add bottle openers, candy, and gag gifts to the utility belt. Lights and batarangs are also great things to add to your Batman utility belt.

Gotham Girls DC Comics Harley Quinn Adult Costume |
Of course, no Batman comic or movie would be complete without supervillains. Two of the most popular supervillains to choose as a costume are the Joker and Harley Quinn. This evil duo met at Arkham Asylum, where Harley was a doctor, and the Joker was a madman. They both escaped, and became a supervillain couple known for clowning around.
The Joker’s costume has a trademark purple suit, green hair, white facepaint, and red lipstick. Harley Quinn’s outfit resembles a harlequin. She also uses face paint, but has black lipstick instead of red.
Not into the clowning around that simply has to take place if you are going to costume as the Joker? Consider dressing as the tragic villain, Dr. Frieze. He was the leading scientist in a cryogenic lab, until his wife fell to a horrible accident.
He now keeps his wife frozen, waiting for an opportunity to bring her back to life. In the meanwhile, he has to commit crimes in order to fund both his cryogenic needs, and hers. Dr. Frieze’s costume generally needs a helmet. If you find a good Frieze costume, consider yourself lucky and buy it right away.

Another great idea for a Batman themed costume is to dress as Poison Ivy. This redheaded scientist was a botanist who simply became part plant after a lab accident.
Poison Ivy costumes are easier to find than others, and the accessory options are many. Ivy leaf bracelets, green stockings, and more are excellent add-ons to your costume. Some series have Poison Ivy with slightly green skin, so make sure that you get some good facepaint for it.
Many costumed women also choose to add green lipstick as a special touch. It’s also worth mentioning that Posion Ivy has fiery red hair and green eyes. Choose your wig and contact lenses accordingly.
The bottom line is that the Batman comic book series gives party-goers and Halloween enthusiasts tons of options to choose from. You can be the Dark Knight, or you can be the Joker. Everyone will know who you are dressing up as, since Batman is such a popular comic book hero.
If you simply can’t decide which character to costume, why not ask some friends to dress as other characters and help you choose your costume for a very Batman-themed Halloween?
