Superheroes are still a hit. Since their invention, everyone has always loved them. Batman is at the forefront, thanks to his winning media combination. He's had at least one running series since the 1940s. His most recent movie franchise is a bajillion dollar earner at the box office. He's set to be played by Ben Affleck in a team up movie with Superman. Naturally, Batman is also a popular Halloween costume. Here are some tips for getting into character so you're dressed as Batman, and not just a nut in spandex.
1. Be Sneaky
Batman attacks the wicked and cowardly world of crime through use of stealth. To practice this before getting your costume, wrap yourself up in a blanket. Then, silently stalk your friends in their homes. If you get caught, you need to practice harder. An explanation of simply being Batman should be enough to answer any questions concerned peers might have. It's the best if you're able to catch someone in a bad act, like drinking milk from the container or cheating on their diet. Soon, you will blend into the night.
2. Be Righteous
Batman is an avatar of justice. Before Halloween rolls around, make sure to fight crime at home. Start small. If you see someone littering, make sure to throw miniature boomerangs at them until they've learned their lesson. Any arguments with your particular sense of good & evil should not matter. Batman is unwavering in his vision, and so are you. Some things don't translate from comics to real life, however. Make sure not to leave tied up criminals in front of the police station, because that means their case doesn't count in real courts of law.
3. Act Rich
Since Batman is actually billionaire orphan Bruce Wayne, he has an extravagant lifestyle beneath the mask. To emulate this, make sure to max out your credit cards on nice suits and possibly sports cars. Your diet leading up to Halloween should consist of caviar and white wine. If you can, attend some galas and receptions. Whatever you don't spend on luxuries should be given to charities to act as a tax shelter. & of course, tell no one that you're secretly a huge vigilante hero.
4. Have a Sidekick
This one is easy. Find your friend who isn't ready for Halloween yet; everybody has one. Then, adopt them into your Bat-cause and tell them that they are now your ward. If they protest, repeatedly assure them that this is for the greater good. Give them a costume that's brighter than yours, so that in the event of trouble, eyes are drawn to them first. This allows you to escape and possibly stage a rescue. Then, take the time to reform their behaviors until they act just like you. Your sidekick will thank you later.
5. Have Villains
Batman wouldn't be a super hero without super villains. All it takes is a little motivation on your part to turn your enemies into villains. Find someone you disagree with prior to Halloween. Then, make sure to challenge them directly while calling them a nickname based on personal appearance. If possible, give them an outfit that emphasizes their major flaw, so the new nickname you've given them is even more obvious. Soon, the constant opposition and hate will serve to keep you in character as Batman. You'll be in Halloween shape in no time!
