Boys Batman Costume

Boys Batman Costume

When American business man Bruce Wayne puts on his iconic outfit and fights crime on the streets of Gotham City, he is known as Batman. For more than 75 years, this vengeful superhero has been delivering justice on the silver screen, the small screen, and the pages of countless comic books. This Halloween, your son has the opportunity to become the "Caped Crusader" himself when he dresses in one of the boys' Batman costumes available from Walgreens.

Batman Halloween Costumes

When your son decides to dress up in a boys' Batman costume this Halloween, there are a few signature elements that every outfit is going to need. The character's black jumpsuit is often made with a padded muscle chest to give the appearance of super-strength. You'll also find that complete costumes include Batman's black cape, gold belt, and iconic black headpiece. DC Comics licenses official Batman costumes that feature all of these pieces and just need to be supplemented with your own boots.

History of Batman

National Comics (which later became DC Comics) began developing a new superhero in 1939 after the publisher's success with Superman. Gag cartoonist Bob Kane was asked to design the new character, and he came up with "The Batman." Through the years, Batman comics have undergone several tonal shifts, ranging from lighthearted and funny to very dark. The character first teamed up with his sidekick, Robin, in the early 1940s, and several of the duo's longstanding nemeses--including the Joker and Catwoman--were introduced around the same time. In addition to comic books, Batman has been featured in radio shows, TV series, video games, and several major motion pictures. The character has been played by an array of talented actors, including Michael Keaton, George Clooney, and Christian Bale. Batman has been recognized by several major publications as one of the most memorable superheroes of all time.

It doesn't matter whether your son is planning to dress up for trick-or-treating or just to show off his costume for his friends. The boys' Batman costume you find at Walgreens will make it feel like the character has leaped off the screen, and it is sure to be a hit.
