Simply Love Batman

Do you like Batman? Well I simply love him! As a child I have always loved to watch Batman cartoons as well as movies. I even had those Batman toys which were so adorable! Let me just recall the famous Batman movies. I remember the first Batman movie had the title of Batman. That was a really classic movie which starred Michael Keaton as Batman. He reprized his role as Batman in the next Batman movie tilted Batman Returns but the role was taken over by Val Kilmer in Batman Forever. Val Kilmer, like Michael Keaton, also acted only in two of these movies. In the last two Batman movies, it was Christian Bale who acted as Batman. The next Batman movie is scheduled to be released next year and is titled The Dark Knight Rises.

While the actor for the Dark Knight often changes, you often do not see the same villains appearing back in the movie unless you are talking about Joker who appeared in Batman begins which retold the origins of Batman. In every Batman movie, the bad guy differs and you get to see Batman battle different baddies. In the first movie it was the Joker, one of Batman’s toughest enemies. In the second movie Batman Returns, it was Penguin and Catwoman. Sometimes I realize that the bad guys in the movies were created due to their extenuating and difficult life circumstances, so sometimes you can’t really blame them for being bad! But then you also get to see people helping the Dark Knight, for example in Batman Forever, you see his sidekick Robin suddenly came in to help Batman deal with Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy.

I guess I talked too much about the Dark Knight but actually I was hoping to be able to talk about some Batman costumes. If you are having a Halloween party, you might want to consider setting the theme Gotham City or The Dark Knight. It is also possible to set the theme as a superhero gathering so that people can dress up as super heroes or super villains. If you are female, you can go for costumes such as Batgirl or Batwoman, or even dress up as a villain such as Catwoman or Poison Ivy. The most popular female costume is usually the Wonder Woman costume so try to avoid that if you want to stand out from the crowd.

So yes, Batman still never fails to amaze me and is one of my favorite characters. There are people who wear Batman costumes for every Halloween. Even their kids are dressed up as Batman and Batgirl (and sometimes Robin too). They are also people who buy lots of Batman related accessories and figurines to decorate their homes. I would not be surprised if they got their own bat cave! If you are on a tight budget, you can try just buying a Batman mask (or maybe you can even make one) and then wear a black suit with a cape. That is what I call a DIY Batman costume.
