Super Bad Costume, Or Is It ?

Posted on February 20, 2013 | Comments Off on Super Bad Costume, Or Is It ?

This week I am putting a little twist on things!

Electric Superman

 

This Superman Costume is toted all over the internet as being a Bad Costume, I respectfully disagree. Now I will say it isn't a GREAT costume but I do not think it is a Bad one either. I think people view this as bad not because of the costume itself but because of what it represents. This outfit marks some major and unpopular changes to "The Man Of Steel" which fundamentally altered the character and the fans rebelled.

 

I honestly think if people took "Superman" out of the picture and pretended this was a brand new Characters and not a remake of a favorite character they would not hate this costume so much.  In the end while I will agree this is a BAD Superman, it is not a Bad Costume.

Steel yourself against the awful!

This weeks "Bad Super Costume" continues the trend of the previous two weeks and present to you Shaquille O'Neal as Steel!

Do I really need to explain the reason for my choice this week ? This does not look like it is a powerful suit of power armor created to pay homage to Superman after his Death. No, this looks like a Bad Halloween costume cobbled together from whatever was laying around in the costume designers garage!

Holy Horrible Costumes Batman!!!!

Posted on February 6, 2013 | Comments Off on Holy Horrible Costumes Batman!!!!

This week's "Super Bad Costume" continues on the theme from last week of Live action Super Costumes. Now I  present you with not just one but three bad costumes from the same movie 1997's "Batman and Robin"

Batman and Robin

Now to be fair the Batgirl costume isn't that bad. The Silver on her outfit works well with the black and isn't over done as it is on the other two costumes. I would have to say my main problem with the costume is the complete lack of a Cowl. That is Batgirl, not Robin Girl, or Nightwing Girl, but BATGIRL!! Batgirl needs a cowl just like Batman, and lets not get into the fact that the domino masks does nothing to hid her or Robin's identity.

Now onto the other two monstrosities! I just don't know what the costume designers were thinking when working on these outfits. Let see we are making costumes for Batman and Robin, two superheroes the operate at night and use stealth and the shadows to move about unseen. Hmmm I Know what will work just perfect for that lets put A LOT of reflective metallic silver on the costumes! Yeah that will be perfect!!   While we are at it lets add that silver on as a bunch of random patterns that have nothing what-so-ever to do with the characters concept and do nothing but distract the eye from the fact that we sculpted nipples onto the chests of each suit!

Well you have my view on these costumes what do you think ? Leave a comment below and let us all know!

Poll Position: Blue Beetle vs Darkhawk

Posted on January 29, 2013 | Comments Off on Poll Position: Blue Beetle vs Darkhawk

Blue Beetle vs Darkhawk

This weeks Poll Position pits the "sentient power armor" wearing Blue Beetle, against the Andriod body replacing Darkhawk!

 

[polldaddy poll="6860788"]

 

Looking at these two combatants I find it slightly difficult to pick a winner at first blush. Both characters are similarly armored, both sport heavy weapon capability and both of them  are flight capable. I however am going to give the win to Blue Beetle simply because if the need arises the armor itself can take over and becomes a far more savage fighter which I believe gives the edge to the Beetle.

 

That's my stance, whats is yours ? Tell us below and don't forget to leave your vote on the poll!

Belting out the bad costumes!

Posted on January 23, 2013 | Comments Off on Belting out the bad costumes!

This week for your mocking pleasure I present to you Citizen V.

CitizenV

 

I have never heard of this character before and  only came across him while reseaching this weeks Bad costume. That being said I honestly can't tell you anything about him except what you can see with your own eyes. So now lets start the critique with his Shoulder pads. While I have no objection to a stars and stripes theme for a character I do not think it is being pulled off here as well as it could be. I think my main objection to them is the fact that the  Stars and the white stripes are raised from the rest of the shoulder pads which just looks odd to me.

 

Next is his mask. I am not sure what about it bothers me so much as I have seen other similarly designed masks that have worked well, but something about it here is just off putting. And lastly, we have in the past pointed out the overuse of belts and straps in costumes but this fellow must have gotten a great discount on a mass purchase of belts!! Not only does he have his belt wrapped 6 or 7 times about his waist, he also has his feet and forearms completely wrapped in them as well.

 

All in all I think the character design had some potential but it failed to deliver upon it in the end!!

 

Those are my thoughts on Citizen V, I'd be interested in hearing yours! Leave a comment below tell me what you think of this costume. Is it as bad as I think or am I way off on this one ?
