   Why not Cap?

   It’s a bad costume, that’s why.

3. 3 Rich said at 10:58 am on October 5th, 2008:

   Also, no shield. And where’s Mjolnir?

4. 4 Kevin Church said at 11:53 am on October 5th, 2008:

   Right here.

5. 5 Rich said at 1:29 pm on October 5th, 2008:

   Much better.

   There’s also a Green Lantern costume out there (John Stewart/JLA cartoon) that isn’t bad.

   Wait…was that a girl in the cap costume?

   Did someone just draw wings on the picture of the kid in the Cap suit? Or maybe the kid is just standing in front of some logo with wings on the side? It’s just weird.

   We get the catalog that has those costumes. There’s an adorable Little Supergirl, but that Catwoman is WRONG!

    I disagree! “Clark-Kent-to-Superman” is strictly the domain of lazy adults who own a Superman t-shirt and don’t want to bother with a full costume. What kid would want to wear a SUIT on Halloween?

    I was thinking of just painting the baby blue so he can be Doctor Manhattan.

    I dunno, apart from the drawn-on head wings I think the Cap’s not bad.

13. 13 HydrogenGuy said at 2:39 pm on October 6th, 2008:

    Cap’s not terrible, but it’s kind of spoiled by the over-large cowl and the fact that the kid-model appears to be wearing lipstick.

    There is no “good” or “bad.”

    There is “yes” and “no.”

15. 15 Steven said at 5:04 pm on October 7th, 2008:

    Also “Fuck No,” apparently.

16. 16 Roel said at 1:26 pm on October 8th, 2008:

    Campbell would also have added a “Fuck, yeah!” category.

    While I agree with most of your opinions, Catwoman & Joker particularly, & even Clark Kent/Superman somewhat, Captain America wasn’t that bad (though the Flash’s wings looked better for some reason!),& while Iron Man looked pretty cool, the mask/helmet looked a little hard to see out of, Thank God I don’t have kids! As for the lack of Mjolnir & Cap’s shield, I don’t think parents need the extra worry of their little ones causing damage by “letting fly” with their “weapons” of choice unless they were made of something rather lightweight! And considering the pathetic movie that “Catwoman” was & the fact that her current costume is not very revealing in a traditional sense, why not go with that one instead? Fun article none-the-less! Thanks!

    Fucking brilliant. I think I was looking at the grownup versions of those and shrieking at the Catwoman costume.

    May I repost this (with full credit and a link)?
