Superman / Clark Kent

Superman, who was born Kal-El, is sent to Earth just before the destruction of his home planet, Krypton. He gains his powers from the sun and is able to fly faster than a speeding bullet, is more powerful than a locomotive, and is able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. If you’d rather not wear your underwear on the outside, then you can always dress up as Superman’s alias, Clark Kent.

Poison Ivy

Poison Ivy, who was once known as botanist Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley, uses her knowledge of plants to produce toxins and mind-controlling pheromones to help her get away with her crimes. Together with Harley Quinn, they become one of Batman’s most powerful foes.

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman is an Amazonian warrior princess, who possess superhuman powers and superior combat skills. With her Lasso of Truth and indestructible bracelets she fights those who seek to destroy the Amazon.

Nightwing

Dick Grayson adopts the identity of Nightwing after outgrowing his position as Batman’s sidekick Robin. Like his mentor, Nightwing’s parents were murdered by a mobster in Gotham when he was just a young boy.

Batman

Batman (Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, or Adam West, depending on your age) is the secret identity assumed by billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne, driven by the murder of his parents. For this costume, we recommend you upgrade the mask, gloves, boots, and cape — basically everything except the chest and belt.

Raven

Raven is a half-demon, half-human being who joins the Teen Titans. She uses her powers of teleportation, astral projection, and empathic healing to protect Jump City from various villains, which includes her father Trigon. This costume will require a bit of DIY to replicate her cape pin and jeweled sleeves in addition to modifying the necklace into a belt.

Nurse Joker

Heath Ledger once described his depiction of the
Joker
as a “psychopathic, mass murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy.” Clearly, this Joker isn’t afraid to do what needs to be done, even if it means cross dressing in a nurse’s dress.

Bane

In The Dark Knight Rises, Bane (Tom Hardy) is a revolutionary who’s intent on destroying Gotham. Formerly a member of the League of Shadows, he has both the brains and brawn to take on Batman. Bane’s mask gives him a continuous supply of pain killing gas, which might also explain that high-pitched voice of his.

Joker

What do you get when you cross intelligence, homicidal tendencies, a penchant for “gags”, and an obsession with Batman? The Joker (Heath Ledger) of course. While his look may have changed through the years, his love of the color purple and mayhem stays the same in the Dark Knight.
