Carbon Costume

Bill Green (voiced by Bob Joles) is the father of the Green Family in the Disney Channel series Big City Greens. A hardworking farmer and handyman, Bill is the father of Tilly and Cricket.  Bill’s clothes typically consist of a green shirt, red hat, and sensible blue jeans.  His pants are caked in dirt and have a tear in the left knee.

In the latest film adaptation for the DC hero Batman, Riddler (played by Paul Dano) is a sinister terrorist intent on exposing the dark secrets of Gotham’s elite.  The Batman‘s 2022 version of Edward Nashton is a far cry from previous iterations, and the grittier tone of the film is reflected in the character’s far more understated costuming.  To recreate this Riddler, you’ll need an army green anorak and balaclava.  Use some white fabric paint to add his custom insignia to the jacket and layer a pair of clear framed glasses over the hood, in the style of the Zodiac Killer, reportedly a strong influence on the updated characterization.

Dollar Bill, real name William Brady, was a member of the Minutemen, the first team of superheroes in the Watchmen universe.  A corporate superhero sponsored by a bank, William was an exceptional athlete, but his life was cut tragically short when his cape got caught in a revolving door when he tried to stop a bank robbery and he was shot at point-blank range.  Dollar Bill’s costume consists of red, white, and blue pieces.  The blue unitard can be layered underneath red shorts, gloves, and socks, and then paired with a red cape.  To get his iconic dollar sign insignia, use a little white fabric paint on the blue suit.  Then, you can glue or sew white stars onto the bodysuit and cape.

Yzma (voiced by Eartha Kitt) is the antagonist of the Disney animated movie, Emperor’s New Groove. She is Emperor Kuzco’s advisor who seeks the throne for herself. Although cunning and power-hungry, Yzma provides comedic relief with her eccentric antics and frustration with Kronk’s incompetence. She claims to be a sorceress, hence her knowledge of potions, but she’s depicted as a mad scientist type, as indicated from her goggles and lab coat.

Alice Green (voiced by Artemis Pebdani) is the mother of Bill Green on the Disney Channel show Big City Greens.  A military veteran, Alice has a no-nonsense attitude, but loves her family and would do anything for them.  Alice wears a pink dress and slippers, oversized glasses, and a pearl necklace.  She also uses a cane and has a hearing aid in her left ear.

Onomatopoeia is a villian from the DC Comics. He first appeared in Green Arrowvolume 3, #12, written by Kevin Smith and illustrated by Phil Hester. He is often an enemy of Green Arrow and Batman, only speaking in noises as per his namesake. He is a master marksman with advanced handgun training. For this costume guide, the white paint to draw the circles onto the balaclava.

Kinoko Komori is a character in the hit anime My Hero Academia. Enrolled in Class 1-B at UA school, she is training to become a Pro Hero. Her quirk is Mushroom, which gives her the ability to generate fungus spores from her body. The two guns on her belt are her spray shooters, emitting a gas that increases the humidity and allows her to spread the spores more effectively. She remembers the names of the mushrooms she spawns during battle while making mushroom related puns.

Scar (voiced by Jeremy Irons) is the main antagonist of the classic Disney film The Lion King.  Scar is the brother of Mufasa, the ruling king, who seeks to take power from his brother and nephew in this animal twist on Shakespeare’s Hamlet.  Scar is lankier than his brother, with a dark mane and a scar over his left eye.  There are two ways you could approach this costume.  First, you could purchase a Scar mask and pair it with the lower portion of another lion costume if you’d like to go for a literal interpretation of the character.  Otherwise, don’t be afraid to get creative with a wild black wig, some scar putty, and dangerously long nails for a more interpretive take on this iconic villain.
