There is certainly no room for doubt that Super Hero movies have been huge this year. This year alone “Thor”, “Captain America: The First Avenger”, “Green Hornet”, “X-Men: First Class”, “Iron Man”, and “Green Lantern” have all hit the big screen. Super Hero movies continue to remain popular and each and every year when October rolls around, the costume industry never fails to roll out these popular heroes as Halloween costumes.
So if you need inspiration for your costume this year, simply look back at some of the popular movies that have been released or look ahead to some of the upcoming ones and decide whose mighty shoes you would like to step into this year. Super Hero type costumes can help make decisions easy for couples and large groups. Iron Man and War Machine would be a great pairing as would be the ever popular Batman and Robin. If you have a large group, then pair Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and the Incredible Hulk together and you have the Avengers all ready to go.
All the super hero movies that are hitting the big screen of course draw their inspiration from that eternal source, the comic book. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman are on shelves everywhere and remain a constant source of inspiration for children…and adults…to want to be just like them..even if only for one night. Heroes and villains battle it out throughout the pages and every year racks of comic book costumes are just waiting to be donned. Inspiration from comics and movies doesn’t even have to lean towards common characters that most everyone is familiar with. Graphic novels have also leaped from the page onto the movie screen in the past few years and it is now possible to find a V for Vendetta costume and Watchmen costumes.
So whatever hero or villain you choose to draw inspiration from this year, whether from classic page or big screen, you should find plenty of inspiration for your Halloween costume this year. So go forth and be prepared to conquer; Halloween awaits you!!
