Another possibly for an outfit, is Batman’s long-time side kick, Robin. ‘The Boy Wonder’ is just as recognisable and arguably as famous as ‘The Dark Knight’. If you have a look through the Batman costumes that are on offer then it won’t be long before you find several Robin outfits to choose from.

If you are considering getting dressed up as ‘The Caped Crusader’ himself then you might like to spend some time deciding which era of Batman you want to use for your outfit. There are quite a few differences between the sixties TV show Batman costumes and the ones that have featured in the string of movies in more recent years. Are you going to go for one of the heroes’ sombre and moody outfits of modern times or for the more camp and fun look of the swinging sixties? How much detail do you want your outfit to have? To attain full authenticity, Batman costumes should feature some of the impressive weapons and ‘Bat Gadgets’ that we are all so familiar with. Just how realistic you want it all to be is up to you.

Does the idea of your friends and relatives being dressed up as various villains and accomplices from the pages of one of DC comics’ most famous creations appeal to you? If so, then you could be in for a party that is a great deal of fun.
