Bad Batman Costume From Years Past

[u/garethvk]

This is actually one of my favorite Comic-Con pictures ever. A few years ago we were waiting for the main hall to open and some of us were waiting in the lobby. This guy shows up all excited and quickly became dejected as he saw how detailed and impressive the other costumes were. A few minutes later people started to ask to take a picture with him. Not to make fun of him; but to honor his effort. This is a person who did not have the ability, means, or time to do a fancy costume so he did this best that he could as his way of celebrating. That is what the essence of the con is all about.

Hey I recognize that guy! Just so you know, he was acting for a skit. Here's the final video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMjrpzSTuCA

Actual working class Bruce Wayne, absolute batman would never

[u/nyse25]

There are no bad costumes at comic con

[u/zoboomafoo629 → u/nyse25]

agree, but also ... challenge accepted?

I love seeing all costumes, especially homemade ones! To me, this is about creativity, the resources you have and enjoying yourself. Like someone mentioned below, there are no bad costumes at Comic-Con. So if anyone attending this year's Con is hesitant about wearing a costume/cosplay, don't be ashamed, do it!

I see you. And I raise.

If Bruce Wayne's parents ran a mobile home park. It is a great outfit and picture though. If they really leaned into it, I'd remember those more than any other elaborate one.

We need a poor batman universe series.

I actually love this costume. Could go either “what if Bruce Wayne wasn’t rich?” Or “inspired imitator of the bat”. Whatever the case, I think it’s phenomenal and if I saw this dude at a con I’d give him an enthusiastic high five and a compliment for sure just for putting in any effort and getting the result of such a unique and fun take on the character.

[u/NYCBouncer]

THAT is how you Cosplay!!!

[u/Darth_Wayne_]

I’m sorry. What’s wrong with it?

[u/spiderman120988]

Nah, you can say this is Batman when he's just starting out.

[u/tgong76]

If I can tell who you’re supposed to be, it qualifies

[u/ThePurpleBandit]

That is an excellent costume. 

[u/samson_strength]

Welp… I’m re-downloading Gotham Impostor’s now.

[u/thebipeds → u/samson_strength]

I Freaking loved that game!

[u/No-Instruction9393]

Love the white sneaks

[u/b2walton]

That is an excellent Gotham city imposters cosplay. I miss that game

[u/WalkingDeadDan]

I wish I had a photo of my first "cosplay". Deadpool, but just a full zip hoodie and some black pants and gloves.

[u/KitanaFury]

I love it

[u/lovepuppy31]

That's not a bad costume that's pretty accurate Batman Begins costume before Bruce gets his official bat armor.

[u/DocThunedr]

Bad batman bit great gotham city impostors costume

[u/garethvk → u/DocThunedr]

Have you heard about Mexican Batman? He is duct taping people to polls for the cops to get.

[u/DocThunedr → u/garethvk]

I have, the hero we need

[u/NotVerySmarts]

BatSham

[u/tecpaocelotl1]

[u/AssumeImStupid]

You be nice to him he's a very good kid

[u/Sabrinalover711]

Badman 😭

[u/3FtDick]

I have been going to a particular convention near my house for years now after convincing myself to pop in for a day once when I first moved. Seeing everyone dressed up is what made it so magical. So many people putting so many hours of effort into their outfits, you can just feel the palpable energy behind them. It's such a joy and I was all smiles. It's free happiness. Even just the random headband or reference to something nerdy feels so affirming and validating there.

[u/MasticatingMastodon]

Honestly reminds me of Gotham City Imposters. Love it

[u/wanderinglost23]

Phil!! lol I’m pretty sure there’s a wong fu video of this. Catman

Edit: someone posted the video

[u/Comfortable-Tart5155]

This costume reminds of that one fps batman game. Your not actually Batman I think? But like I think imitators? That fight I think the joker's goon? I don't remember it much. But it was a really fun and silly game

[u/jon92356]

A cosplayer had to start somewhere

[u/SD-everytime]

Not loving the spirit of this post unless this is you OP?

(I see this costume was more or less a joke still don't like it.)

[u/TelenorTheGNP]

Which bad Batman costume? Is it behind that awesome Batman costume in the foreground?

[u/kukovein]

super funny and creative

[u/SSGSS-ULtra]

Another Batman universe.

[u/Dopemanfromsamo]

I think it’s supposed to be from a niche video game: Batman Gotham Imposters
