As a spin off from the real life superheroes I was thinking about those superhero costumes. Watching the extras on DVD's they always put alot of effort in creating the costumes. But which do people feel has been the most sucessful costume transfer from comic to film? Which ones look better then the orginals?
I quite like Daredevil's although you never find out who made it for him.

I've always thought Christopher Reeve's costume and Lynda Carter's costume were the most faithful to the comic book.
Spider-man movie costume ain't bad. I've always not been very happy with the rubber on Batman's costume. Thought it should have been cloth.

I think in the modern age a lot of thought goes into the practicality of the costume.Like in Batman when he asks for a suit so he can turn his head. The old Batman's rubber cowl was very rigid. If you ever tried riding a bicycle with your hood up you'll know what a pain it is to look behind you

See I hate the rubber Batman costume because it always seems to hold him back from movement. I've always thought of Batman has being more acrobatic to go along with his martial arts skills.
On Daredevil the leather costume didn't seem to keep DD from moving so I didn't mind it as much not looking exactly like the comic book costume.
