Well, you're just looking super.

You'll get that mind-blowing play of words there in a minute once you see this Total Film list, that runs down the best comic book costumes (and the worst) from the movies. They don't go any later than, say, 1979 so it's a more recent bunch of costumed crusaders (so no Adam West Batman, sadly).

Any notable omissions?

Dr. Manhattan? Really? What does it say about the history of superhero costumes on film when the top 20 includes a guy who doesn't wear clothes? Plus Captain America twice. Call me crazy, but I'd take the movie FF's uniforms over the X-Men's. And no way does the new Superman have a better costume than Iron Man. Two Supermen in the top 5 is weak sauce. I totally disagree with their number one. One of Batman's greatest combat assets is his mobility. Piling a bunch of armor on him is not faithful to the character and they tried a little to hard to make it mega-edgy (angular = edgy). It's not terrible, but it's not top 10 either.

They did seem to have a hard-on for Supes, I'll give you that. They loved Superman Returns? Jesus, WHY?

I would have loved at least a mention of Swamp Thing.





For an old B-movie, that's not bad at all. And the original Punisher was a terrible film, but I always thought he looked pretty good. And four Captain America's is fine, but two featuring the same guy? Na, don't think so. And you're right about Batman as well, I never understood how he's supposed to be SO fast and flexible and silent when he's basically walking around with as much weight as a fridge.
