  1. Yeah. And I can tell the kid's not actually Batman because he has his parents with him. Totally ruins my Halloween.

  3. The weird thing is that the Iron Man suits have muscles. How...?

    1. Yes. I also feel like the Spider-Man muscle suits aren't exactly true to his character.

  5. Read the comic, hoped for a "Shut up you idiot" tag, was not disappointed.

  6. I know that these suits are just for fun and don't necessarily reflect a fixation on body image, but to me having part of the dress up also include having the super hero body is a little weird. If these were female super heroine costumes, would they also include comic book-sized breasts?

    1. Also pardon my gender redundancy, whoops!

    2. Isn't there an Australian cartoon show about a male superheroine?

    3. There are superheroine pajamas which include a drawn on comic book waistline.

    4. @Diane: That'd be "Shezow." Naturally, the grown-ups are shouting about it while kids generally don't seem to give a damn. (Meanwhile, 1999 cult-favorite "Cybersix," which is finally getting commercial DVD release in 2014, sailed right under the Outrage-Radar despite its heroine crossdressing as a male teacher for her alter-ego.)

    5. @anon 3:20, I've seen shirt-only versions of those before. But yikes! When you see it on a real human the absurdness of those proportions really becomes apparent.
