Barbara Gordon Batgirl Costume

 

Barbara Gordon was created because the 1960’s Batman television series, starring Adam West. Producers of the show were looking for a way to increase ratings by drawing in a female demographic. To accomplish this they requested that the comics create a female character they could use in their TV show. Barbara Gordon was introduced in the 1967 issue of Detective Comics #359. The new Batgirl was extremely popular; she would not only team up with Batman and Robin but also other characters within the DC Universe. She became more than a Batman spin off character. In 1988 readers would see the end of Barbara Gordon as Batgirl. She retired her secret identity in Batgirl Special #1 and then was shot in the spine by the Joker in the graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke.

 

When Batgirl appeared on the scene, Batman was wearing his light grey and blue batsuit. Barbara Gordon Batgirl Costume was an all-black body suit. Her cowl would be exactly like Batman’s, except hers came down in little triangles underneath the eyes. Batgirl used yellow as her accent color. The boots and gloves were the same shape as Batman’s, down to the spikes on the sides. A yellow bat was stretched completely across her upper chest. Barbara also wore a utility belt like the Dynamic Duo but hers had a large bat for the buckle. Despite having gadgets on her belt, she also took to wearing what looks like a purse. I guess a girl has to accessorize even when fighting crime.

Jean Grey Phoenix Costume

Jean Grey Phoenix Costume is a green body suit with long opera gloves and thigh high boots, as well as a sash were made of some golden fabric that almost looked like liquid metal. The clips of the sash as well as the logo on her chest were stylized phoenix symbols. The Phoenix Force duplicated Jean Grey’s body and infused it with some of her life-force and essence, she posed as Jean Grey.

When the Phoenix no longer can repress her dark side she transformed into Dark Phoenix. Her Dark Phoenix costume changed shifting from green to red, this version has a bigger emblem on her chest.

The Appearance of Deadpool

Deadpool costume is a red and black bodysuit with large oval shapes around the eyes and a similar logo badge on his belt buckle. The utility belt around Deadpool’s waist holds assorted weapons like handguns, knives and grenades, and many useless trinkets as well, like a toy monkey. His teleporter is incorporated into his utility belt, represented as a small, solid metal gadget that takes the shape of his trademark logo. The harness around his upper body that keeps his two katana fastened to his back in an X-shape.

People often confuse Deadpool for the other variant of Spider-Man, much to the chagrin of his fan base as well as Deadpool himself. Underneath Deadpool’s costume, he is scarred and deformed. His appearance varies from being rigid, lumpy, scarred, or exposed muscle and bone due to the fact his healing factor has his body in a constant state of flux.

Why Do I love Deadpool

Deadpool is a weird one for me. He's one of my favorite characters from the Marvel universe but I've barely read any of his comics. I know a bit about him, having looked him up on wikipedia a few years back, but I've had almost no comic exposure. Yet I love the character. The whole concept entertains me. Sometimes a lot of his internal dialogue winds up on the page as different voices inside his head, it’s not uncommon to see him carry on conversations with himself, carrying on a three-way chat with the two sides of his brain; Sometimes he’ll note when he’s interacting with a plot device; other times he’ll call out to the comic’s creators. If there’s any single element of Deadpool that makes me love him, I think it’s this.

The Real Original Superman Suit

Superman was invented by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1934, they created a short story called "The Reign Of The Superman" about a bald-headed villain bent on dominating the world. The story did not sell, forcing the two to rethink their character on the right side of the law. The revised Superman originally appeared in Action Comics on June 1, 1938. They sold the rights to the company for $130.

In some of the first sketches of Superman’s suit, most of the major design cues are there, except for the symbol on his chest. In the original designs, the “S” was housed in a police badge-styled shape. This is the real original superman suit.

George Reeves as Superman

George Reeves was the first man to play Superman on screen, he was one of the most popular actors to play Superman and it just might be because of his mysteries death rather than his acting abilities.
 One of the facts about George that a lot of people get wrong is they think he's his Superman successor Christopher Reeve's father or at least a brother but truth be told they didn't even know each other.
When George Reeves played the man of steel in the 1950’s, He wears the typical superman suit; red cap, yellow belt, symbol on the chest. The main color is a
quite pale blue.

The Man of Steel Christopher Reeve

I watched all the Christopher Reeve superman films again recently.
There are many great version of Superman in the 75 years of history, from many great artists. Many of them are equally great but different, however, Reeve looked perfect as Clark Kent / Superman to me. He looked like he stepped right out of the pages of a Superman comic.

Superman Comics

His version of superman suit is the most typical one; red cap, yellow belt, big symbol on the chest, Simple but comfortable. Crime fighters have to be comfortable. He won't have any weird mesh or leather getting in the way. Man of Steel is all about flexibility and speed, and this superman movie costume is a perfect reflection of that.

Christopher Reeve Superman

Christopher Reeve was awesome in HIS version of Superman, and nobody could put on THAT superman suit and do what he did any better. He was and always shall be Superman for me. Though you've been taken from this world, your portrayal of Superman will still live on.

Does the Old Superman Costume Now Look Weird to You?

The new Superman Movie Man of Steel hits theaters June 14. This is the film I'm most looking forward to this summer.

When the new Superman costume first revealed, I wondered if I'd ever get used to seeing Superman without the trunks. After all, he'd had red trunks since 1938. At first, seeing him without the trunks was weird.

Henry Cavill Man of Steel Suit

With the new trunks-less images strictly enforced in ALL media (comics, animation, toys, publicity, and of course the MAN OF STEEL movie), I must say: now the original red trunks are starting to look awkward to me in a way they never did before, while, in contrast, the new super suit looked natural and normal.

classic superman suit

The old superman costume is a classic, although it had some variations on its resistance and other minor details sans the S-shield, it remained virtually unchanged and represents Superman's 75 years history. But the new superman suit has grown on me. It retains most of the classic elements, looks more modernized and more alien. The only problem is that I think adding a belt would make a big difference to this new suit.

So guys, does now the old superman suit now look weird to you?

Top 5 Greatest Superheroes in Underwear

Superheroes are not only a great symbol of power and justice, but also a great symbol for wearing your underwear outside your clothes.
The superhero costumes with underwear have been cut down in recent movies, but I know some superheroes will simply always be remembered for their original appearances with underwear.

Scroll down through my list of the top 5 superheroes in underwear, and let me know if you missed any of your favorites!

5. Wolverine


I know Wolverine now is just Hugh Jackman ripping his shirt off and killing people. That’s cool and all, but the original Wolverine from the X-Men cartoons and comics was way more underwear-savvy.

4. Wonder Woman


Wonder Woman’s pretty cool for sort-of sporting underwear. Most female superheroes are drawn up to have watermelon sized breasts and costume with the coverage area of a fig leaf, but Wonder Woman just wears modest underwear and kicks ass.

3. The Incredibles


This is a definitely underwear fan family with incredible super powers. They wear red spandex costume with a black brief.

2. Batman and Robin


Chris Nolan might not have let poor Batman keep his undies on, but the original Adam West Batman costume and Robin costume have underwear outside.

1. Superman


Superman is the superhero of superheroes. His appearance is distinctive and iconic. The classic superman costume consisting of  a blue costume, red brief, red cape, and stylized red-and-yellow "S" shield on his chest. This shield and the red brief are often used to symbolize the character. It’s really a regret that Zack Snyder takes off Superman’s underwear in ‘Man of Steel’

Why do superheroes wear underwear over their pants?

A question about the superhero costumes that I've had for a long time, guess lot of you like me would have had the same question: Why do superheroes wear underwear over their pants?

Here I got some amazing answers below:

1. Because he can gift his underpants to every hot chick who wants one. He doesn’t need to get naked. This could have been the weirdest reason ever but one of the best too.

2. It’s also said that wearing underwear above pant is "a tradition of strong-men everywhere". Not sure about who said that or in which century but heard some gossip about it.

3. Briefs provide some additional coverage, so that a man wearing tights/leggings appears more intimidating, without adding dangerous baggy fabric.

4. Tights/leggings are practical crime-fighting bottoms. They fit into boots, they stretch, and they're not bulky. And wearing underwear above the tights will be more intimidating and attractive. In polished words, that's how strong-men's costume remains.

Happy Superman's Birthday

Today, April 18, everyone is celebrating Superman’s 75th Birthday. Exactly 75 years ago today, Superman made his debut in “Action Comics” No. 1, and became the world’s first superhero, paving the way for the likes of Batman, Spider-Man and Wonder Woman. However, this character was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster when they were still high school students in Cleveland, Ohio, 1933, and sold to DC Comics in 1938. So we know Superman is an aged man of 75 or 80 years old now.

Superman is celebrating his 75th birthday with a new comic book, drawn by superstar artist and DC Comics co-publisher Jim Lee, and a new film directed by Zack Snyder and co-written and -produced by Christopher Nolan.
