Costumes everywhere

DC marketing must be doing something right as I’ve been seeing their licensed costumes everywhere this Halloween. There was a charity ball last night in the local hall in support of the CF Trust. Whilst looking for costumes I noted that the standard raft of DC costumes (Superman, Supergirl, Batman, Batgirl, and Wonder Woman) were available at every costume shop I tried. Not that I sported one of them for the Ball — I’m far to out of shape to get away with a superhero costume — I went as Meatloaf (its harder to find old fashioned frilly dress shirts around here than it is DC Hero costumes).

I also found it interesting that I saw no adults wearing Marvel costumes. In fact I don’t think I saw any adult Marvel costumes anywhere. Kids dress as Marvel superheroes, adults dress as DC superheroes. Yet, to be fair, there is a certain part of the Halloween theme that suits Batman and Batgirl costumes.
