Best Superhero Costume Adaptation

Pirate · 07-10-2006, 10:16 PM

What do you feel is the best adaptation from comic to screen in terms of practicality, believability, style and sheer awesomeness?

For me it's a toss up between Spider-Man and Daredevil. I love Spider-Man’ costume and the black costume looks nice, but I'd still have to give the edge to DD.

I like how DD's costume looked like it was pieced together out of clothes that could be found at a biker store. I also like the snap collar and the holster. Very cool.

My Halloween costume of choice this year will be V, though.

Definitely Spider-Man for me. It was true to the comics, yet they made it not look ridiculous (which could have happened quite easily.)

I like the latest Batman costume from Batman Begins. I like how a lot of the features of the costume were explained and have a practical use, like the ears on top of the costume that serve as a radio receiver, or the forearm guards that help deflect sword strikes that he had while in training with Liam Neeson's character, or how the cape was explained as a practical fabric that could sort of act as a parachute, or the body armor being a prototype for a military design. Cool things like that made it seem more real than in any of the previous Batman movies.

Agree on the Daredevil design, too, which comes close behind.

For me it's a toss-up between Daredevil and Superman Returns. I love the new look of the Superman costume, especially that raised S and the cape, but Daredevil's red leather creaks perfectly and it looks like what a vigilanty-cum-superhero would wear.

i voted Bluntman and Chronic. the best superheroes in the world.

You won me over SilentBob, Hellboy it is! I would put runners up to Daredevil and DEFINITELY the new Bat suit in BB!

I chose the Superman from 1978 costume. It was just as I remember from cartoons and comics when i saw it as a kid.

Spider Man for me. The hardest part of choosing is not knowing how all of the comic book characters actually appeared.

Besides, the first Spider Man outfit is definetly the best (the one he wore to the wrestling match

).
