Classic 1966 ‘Batman’ Halloween Costumes Are Coming This Year

By Chris Sims

After years of being unable to capitalize on the classic Batman TV show, it looks like Warner Bros. and DC are wasting absolutely no time on making up for that. Since merchandising rights were sorted out, they’ve announced a new line of action figures, a digital comic series, and now, we’re getting full-on Batman ‘66 costumes for Halloween.

The costumes include Batman, Robin, Batgirl, the Riddler, Catwoman and the Joker, and for store-bought costumes, they actually look pretty good — even if the Joker doesn’t include a moustache.

Check out bigger pictures on ComicsAlliance!

I’m pretty quick to scrutinize store-bought Halloween costume replicas, but these costumes look pretty dope (though Batgirl could use a bucket of glitter).

Batman tank, $13.80, Forever 21

Incorporate The Bat into your look all year ‘round with this simple (and affordable) tank - pair it with a flouncy skirt or with high-waisted shorts for an easy Spring/Summer look in Gotham.

Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 03.04.13

Although cosplay has been present for decades within the comics, anime, and sci-fi/fantasy fandoms, social media has played an integral role in the thriving communities of costuming that exist, such as Cosplay.com and the Superhero Costuming Forum. In honor of the many fans who’ve displayed excellence in the mastery of homemade disguise, craftsmanship, and sartorial superheroics, ComicsAlliance has created Best Cosplay Ever (This Week), an ongoing collection of some of the most impeccable, creative, and clever costumes that we’ve discovered and assembled into a super-showcase of pure fan-devoted talent.

Barbara Gordon wears Marc Jacobs Spring 2012, with a bonus Dick Grayson wearing Ovadia & Sons Fall 2012 for tigerlilyattack
Marc Jacobs seemed so wonderfully inspired by 20’s and 60’s attire that I couldn’t resist. Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! Hope you like :’)

_{(Details I missed and didn’t fix because of lazy: her pockets and his right double pocket. Kind of want to do another one later to showcase her blue dress and shoes more.)}
