Arch rivals, lovers, or friends? There are plenty of superheroes and villains costumes you can pair up
The superhero and villain on-screen battles have been many and hard-won. If you are thinking of going to the party as a notorious hero-villain duo, we have a list for you.
In the Marvel and DC universe, just as superheroes and villains face-off onscreen, romance has been known to bloom there too. Awwww. From powerhouses to power couples. Get your wingman or wingwoman ready to be by your side to check out these couple costume ideas.
For the arch rivals
1. The Joker vs Batman
These two have been having clashes long before The Dark Knight, the animated film Dark Knight Returns. The very first encounter between the two characters was initially displayed in the 1988 DC comic ‘Batman: The Killing Joke’. It featured criminal, the Red Hood, who falls into a vat of chemicals while escaping from Batman. Bitter and scarred, he emerges with
white skin, green hair, and a clownish red grin. Who is going to be the crazed, eccentric Joker
in the purple suit? And who will be
straight-faced and stoic, Batman?
2. Wonder Woman vs Black Widow
Let Wonder Woman and Black Widow play out the rivalry between DC and Marvel. These two feminist icons are both powerhouses and goddesses in their own right. Wonder Woman is the more virtuous compared to
the shady spy Black Widow, however neither are afraid of confrontation or getting grazed in the process.
3. Captain America vs Ironman
Two pillars of strength. Two very different people. Perhaps one of our favourite superhero and villain duos; Captain America is the practical idealist Steven Rogers, while
Tony Stark is the smooth-talking entrepreneur literally with a heart of steel. A disagreement saw the once tight friends turn on each other in an all-out conflict in Marvel’s Civil War. They recently reconciled, however, an air of distrust remains. The Tony Starks of the world are ready to transform into the Hero of Iron with this
Civil War Deluxe costume. Captain America: The First Avenger is ready to become The Winter Soldier and aid the war effort in this
detailed jumpsuit and mask.
4. Batman vs Superman
Are they friends, or are they foes? Sometimes it’s hard to tell! These two have a longstanding history together. Two sides of the same coin. Both represent ultimate
human potential and want to better humanity. Superman and Batman have almost always been the strongest of allies, each providing the other with what they lack. But sometimes the best of friends can become the worst of enemies.
5. Superman vs The Flash
In addition to being super strong, Superman and The Flash are fast enough to travel across the galaxy. Dating back to 1960s comics,
the Man of Steel and the racing red speedster went head-to-head a few times through to the 1990s. Both with
hyped-up super fast, superpowers which one of you can prove most potent in this even match.
6. Hulk vs Thor
The Hulk may be strong, but how would he match up against
the glorious Norse God? The first Avenger movie gave fans us a little sample of what a
Thor vs Hulk battle looks like, and we saw it again in Thor Ragnarok. With thousands of
years of fighting experience and a variety of powers under both their belts, this pairing makes for much conversation about who would win.
For the lovers and friends
7. Harley Quinn and The Joker
Nutty bat swinger Harley Quinn is a former psychiatrist and met The Joker while she was working at
Gotham City's
Arkham Asylum,
where the Joker was a patient. She helped him escape and went on to join the mad as a hatter criminal as his partner in crime. Suit up and get your crazy on as this colourful couple.
8. Batman and Catwoman
Batman’s alter ego Bruce Wayne is a bit of a notorious playboy. Even when he’s
out defending Gotham City, he can’t help himself but flirt with the women who he is supposed to be fighting against. Batman's relationship
with the Catwoman is the most enduring and iconic of his dalliances. Their superhero lifestyles may keep them apart at times, but they will always have a soft spot for each other.
9. Wonder Woman and Thor
We don’t want these two to fight. We think these two would be
the perfect couple. Despite being from different universes, they could make it work! Jay-Z and Beyonce would have nothing on
this power couple. Besides, the man who plays Thor himself said
Wonder Woman would kick his butt.
10. Batman and Robin
DCs most formidable duo have been fighting the sinister schemes of deranged villains together for decades. The pair met as their alter egos, young acrobat Dick Grayson and entrepreneur by day, Bruce Wayne. After taking Grayson under his wing, Wayne eventually reveals
that he is the Batman and trains Grayson to be his
baddie beating sidekick, Robin.
