Take the Superhero Costume Poll!

Inspired by the many costumes of The Watchmen, MovieFone.com has a Superhero costume poll up with lots of great descriptions an pictures of costumed superheroes over the last couple of decades.

From Batman to Iron Man, Elektra to Silk Spectre, vote on the best and worst superhero costumes throughout movie history.

Superpowers are nice and all, but just as vital to the superhero mystique is the costume. Can you imagine someone trying to save the world in a sweatshirt and jeans? Wouldn't stand a chance.

'Watchmen' hits screens with some slick new additions to the costume department, leading us to wonder which crimefighters have donned the coolest outfits. Click through to vote on which of these 30 superheroes' costumes are super cool, and which are super lame.

Moviefone gives you the chance to cast your vote on many superhero movie costumes and tell them whether you thnk they are super cool costumes or super lame costumes and gives you the current results.

Which superhero costumes are your favorites? Mine has always been Batman, but I am huge Batfan in general. Especially the last two Batman films, they have really concentrated on featuring the costume and making sure to show us how they have made the Batman costume and added changes. Comment and let us know what you think?

And, as always, if you want to express the inner superhero in you, there are plenty of Superhero costumes available at AnniesCostumes.com!

Five Minutes to Midnight and Watchmen about to hit theaters!

The superhero comic book movie adaption has been long anticipated. As the term goes, its 5 minutes to midnight and The Watchmen hits theaters at midnight tonight. This is one of the most anticipated movies of all time, some fans would say.

The Official Watchmen blog debuted pictures of all the Watchmen movie costumes a year ago, in their post entitled One Year to Midnight:

Silk Spectre:


Rorschach:


Ozymandias:


The Night Owl:


The Comedian:


Missing from the costume debut is Dr. Manhattan. There is some speculation over how he will appear in the movie since he is glowing blue and usually naked in the comics! Maybe this is what a more sensible Dr. Manhattan Halloween costume might look like this:



It is also a much anticipated movie for us in the costume industry since it puts forth 6 great new superhero costumes that will no doubt be among the favorites for adults this Halloween. At our costume convention in January, it was one of the most talked about topics. The licensed and official Watchmen costumes will be available later this year and in time for Halloween. Here is what will be available:

Dr. Manhattan latex mask (and tons of blue makeup).
Rorschach costume, which includes the mask, hat and trench coat.
Owl Man costume, which will include the jumpsuit and mask.
The Comedian costume, which will include the jumpsuit and mask.
Ozymandias costume, which will include the jumpsuit, headpiece and mask.
The Silk Spectre sexy costume. Which will include the bodice. A wig will also be sold separately.
Several other masks and headpieces will be available as well. Stay tuned for details!

Here are some pics I took at the costume fashion show they put on. Sorry that some of the Watchmen costume pictures are not as clear as I would like, but I will be posting pics of the costumes soon along with more detailed descriptions of what is included with each costume.
