Costume Countdown: The Silver Agers
With Halloween fast approaching, and that “dream cosplay” meme making the rounds, I thought I’d countdown to the holiday by talking about the costumes that have been on my slate for awhile now. Will any of these get done? I can’t say. But it’s fun to dream.
Silver Age Iron Man, Batman and Green Arrow
As much as I love the current looks of all of these characters—well, Iron Man and Batman’s—there’s something wonderfully charming and distinct about their Silver Age costumes. Iconic, really, in the true sense of that word. Batman-in-blue in particular has been a costume I’ve been wanting to make, what with this shoulder-poofed cape and his tendency to smile. And with May of ’09 being Batman’s 70th anniversary, I may just have to.
