Here's 8 of the best DC comics costumes ideas for men
DC comic costume parties are bigger than ever. There's a character to suit every personality. From your caped crusaders saving the world to the evil antiheroes keeping them on their toes.
Luckily, there are plenty of DC costumes for men. So you can dress up as your favourite DC comic costume alter ego.
1. Green Lantern
Hal Jordan was a brash fighter pilot before he inherited the all-powerful lantern ring after crashing to earth one night. Only limited by his imagination, anything he sets an intention to, he can bring to life. The ring is one of the most potent weapons in the universe. But no superhero is entirely invincible.
Strengths and abilities: Weaponry at his fingertips, the ability to fly and of course the ring.
Weaknesses: Fear and the colour yellow.
Alter ego: Hal Jordan.
Famous line: “In the brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight”.
What you will need: Green Lantern
is best done in an
all in one. In the case of Green Lantern,
the ring is mightier than the sword.
2. Aquaman
While he's perhaps one of the more underrated DC comics costume choice, Aquaman kicked some serious butt in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But Aquaman is something special. Being Atlantean, a biological adaptation, he has super strength on land and in the ocean. Do you like to be the rugged and unassuming underdog? Aquaman could be for you.
Strengths and abilities: Amphibious, telepathically communicate with sea life, withstand ocean depths and nearly impenetrable skin.
Weaknesses: Grows weak if he spends extended time on land.
Alter ego: Arthur Curry.
Famous line: "You tell anyone about this, I will bring every piranha I know after you!"
Get the look: Get your rig
into this padded jumpsuit, including 3D bandolier, 3D gauntlets, boot tops and shoe covers. Don’t forget
your trident and
wig.
3. Flash
A freak forensic lab accident turned out to be a stroke of luck for Barry Allen. He’s the fastest man alive! Batman v Superman brought this super speedy hero back to the big screen. Here’s what you need to know to embody the Flash for the party.
Strengths and abilities: Superhuman endurance, an accelerated metabolism and a decelerated ageing process.
Weaknesses: Telepathic attacks and going too fast.
Alter ego: Barry Allen.
Famous line: "Fear makes us do a lot of things we shouldn’t".
What you will need: Catch me if you can in the iconic
red and gold jumpsuit with flash embellished logo. The costume also comes in
movie maroon colour if the red is too... flashy for you.
4. Batman
Batman is not always a fan of Superman, and this comes to a head in Dawn of Justice. Batman prefers to be a solo fighter. In the film he rebels against the iron rule he perceives in Superman.
Strengths and abilities: Highly trained in martial arts skills and combat, comes from an affluent family.
Weaknesses: psychological trauma from the past, he is human.

Strengths and abilities: Question mark handled cane, gadgets, heightened charisma and intelligence.
Weaknesses: With an intense, obsessive compulsion for riddles, illusion and puzzles. When he commits a crime, he can't refrain from leaving behind a riddle, making it pretty obvious who it the prime suspect is.

enigma)

Get the look: You are
all set in this Superman costume including a padded muscle chest jumpsuit and red cape.

The Joker is a complex character. Some might say without a doubt he is a villain. Or is he just a little misunderstood? The arch enemy of Batman. You never know which way things will go with his spook-like adversary.
Strengths and abilities: Superior intellect, unaffected by toxins and extensive chemistry knowledge
Weaknesses: His inability to kill Batman. He keeps him around for laughs!
