Halloween will shortly be on us and now is the time to start deciding on your Halloween costume. The success of the movie 'The Dark Knight' has propelled Batman into the popularity stakes. If you have got a love of comic books and the Batman flicks then why not respect this famous super hero with a Batman Dark Knight Halloween costume? Getting dressed up in stupid costumes is heaps of fun and Halloween provides the opportunity for children and grown ups alike to go nutty and dress up as whoever or whatever they like! Choosing a costume can be a difficult decision, but if you'd like something different to the usual spooks and ghouls then you need to actually consider the Dark Knight. Batman has changed enormously over time and so have the costumes. If you are considering a Dark Knight Halloween costume then you would like to go for the most recent costumes as featured in the Dark Knight movie. The first costume in the film was made of latex and took four hours to fit, but you do not need to go to such lengths to find the perfect costume.You could also watch the Dark Knight film for more inspiration and maybe pick up some dialogue to make your getup even more realistic. If you don't fancy a "good guy" costume, what about dressing up as the Joker? The Joker, although quite dark and mentally disturbed would be a superb personality to dress as and it might take the minimum amount of effort. All you'd need is an old suit, some face makeup and just a hint of stupidity in your eyes. Whichever character you select you are bound to be a triumph and nobody will have trouble attempting to guess who you are as with some more boring costumes! As with the Dark Knight costume, the Joker Halloween Costume may also be bought on the internet and there are numerous differences in price and style. From the cheaper twenty greenback outfits to the more galvanizing outfits complete with latex masks there's something to suit all budgets and all tastes. Whether you are hot for the late Heath Ledger or the brooding Christian Bale, you'll have fun recreating the characters in this fabulous film and have a Halloween you'll never forget!
