The resurgence back to popularity of Batman comes from the release of the movie, "The Dark Knight". The proof comes this Halloween when thousands of grown men and children don the new Dark Knight Batman costume and become the caped crusader for the evening.

For those who dream of the madness that comes from being the super villain, a pallet of good theater make up that consists of three colors, black, white and red are the beginning for the perfect Joker Halloween costume. You can even create perfection, with an arsenal of accessories that add authenticity.

They say that you can tell the difference between men and boys by the size of their toys and Batman is definitely a man. This crime fighter extraordinaire has no superpowers, just a desire to bring justice to his community, a scientific mind and a boatload of money to do it with.

While the Batmobile might be a bit difficult to deliver for the party (Although it would be the accessory of the night!), the utility belt is easy to wear and makes the Batman costume scream authentic. The Joker has an arsenal to make even the most well stocked terrorist drool with envy. Any pistol or gun is the perfect accessory for his costume.

Why is the Batman costume one of the most sought after costumes this Halloween? How did Batman get to the point of this popularity? He's been going strong since 1939 when Detective Comics #27 introduced him as the Bat-Man. This billionaire by day/crime fighter by night creation caught the attention of the American public when truth justice and the American way was a popular concept. His gadgets, then amazing, now find close replicas used in modern society.

Batman got his start when he watched the murder of his parents. That murder is the factor that drove this small boy to become the super crime fighter in his adult years. At one point in his career, this broken and vengeful man learns to fight and kill on the streets. It isn't until he lands in a Bhutanese prison where he finds the League of Shadows, that he learns the true art and mentality of fighting. The League of Shadows teaches him how to be a ninja.

He also develops skills as a detective and soon combines them with his physical prowess and scientific knowledge. His years of personal training, his cunningness and his toys create the man affiliated with Gotham City and crime fighting that many a comic book, Hollywood star, and Halloween Trick-or-Treater has portrayed.

The Joker was a product of his environment too, but his flawed design came from a very different cause. In the comics, the Joker falls into a vat of chemicals. In "The Dark Knight", the Joker has a childhood that even "Mommy Dearest" would gasp when hearing. "The Dark Knight" explains his brutality and his madness. The ear to ear grin is always part of the Joker's attire. Regardless of the reason this man's so bad, you always recognize the smile.

Those that love the superhero will find ways to make themselves into their idol this Halloween with a Batman costume. If on the other hand, your penchant is toward the dramatically mad, there's some theater make-up waiting for you. Perhaps your household will have someone dressed in a Batman costume and someone else playing the Joker this Halloween. You have the good and the bad, now where's the ugly?

With the popularity of The Dark Knight and all the press surrounding it, the Batman Halloween costume is all the rage this year. If you plan on getting one, don't wait, because you just may miss out if you do.
