Halloween is right around the corner and for the first time in many years I have been invited to a costume party. I had many ideas of what to do. I thought I could just pull out my 11th Doctor costume but that was the last thing I dressed up as so I didn't want to just do that. I also have a pair of all purple pants that I think would make really good Joker pants but I would have to go get the green vest and dress shirt and see if I could pull of the Dark Knight Joker make up and I thought that would be way more expensive then I really wanted to do. I also want to expand my costume collection to include some kind of comic book style costume but I didn't really know what to do.
I have always wanted to be one of those people who had closets full of custom gear so they would be ready for whatever comes up. I remember being a kid and going to my Grandparents house and going through their dress up box. They had a freaking dress up box! Full of old hats, eye patches, feather boas, and pretty cool western stuff. I felt like I could turn into anyone with the stuff inside that magical box. I want my kids to have a magical box that they can dig in and find masks and cool superhero stuff that they can then wear and pretend to save people from burning cars! I think I need to start collecting costumes but where do I start?
I have been reading tons of the new Batman comics lately and the writer, my new favorite writer Scott Snyder, created a new villain group called the court of owls. They are an ancient group of people secretly running Gotham for years from behind the shadows. They also have created and recruited people and turned them into an unkillable fighting machine called The Talon who looks pretty bad ass if I must say so myself. I wish I could pull together a Talon costume but I know it would be to hard and also expensive. So I opted to be part of the Court of Owls. It's pretty easy and it will be a big hit at comic con this year. I ordered the mask online and it should be here just in time for me to pull the rest of the outfit together.
