We have lots of fun stuff planned throughout the year, so keep an eye out for our ongoing celebration!
This month’s question:
WHAT HERO (or villain) HAS THE BEST COSTUME?
Batman and his cowl? Superman with his cape? Colors, composition, utility? What makes the best costume in comics?

I think Nightwing’s black and blue costume from the 90s is the best for a few reasons. First, it just makes sense. Being an acrobat, it makes sense for Dick Grayson to choose a costume without a utility belt and a cape. He has to keep his suit light so he can move the way he wants. It’s not overly colorful like so many other costumes in the Bat-Family. Gotta stay stealthy, right? I like how the symbol on the costume extends to his arms and isn’t a literal bird (something they messed up for DC Rebirth). It’s just brilliant in its simplicity. It seems like a natural bridge between Robin’s costume and Batman’s.
