Great heroes can be recognised instantly, but new vigilantes on the block? They often have their work cut for them, as creators strive to create a costume that is unique and doesn’t come off as derivative. One of the best success stories of recent years? Easily Gwen Stacey’s Spider-Woman costume, which has resulted in a character who can easily stand shoulder to shoulder with her comic book contemporaries.

There's Nightmare on Elm Street cosplay, and then there's this costume ensemble that makes the Springwood Slasher appear as if he's walked straight out of the movies and into the real world.

We’ve known now for a while that Ruby Rose would be donning the cape and cowl of Gotham’s signature vigilante for the Arrow,Flash and Supergirl Elseworlds event, but any pictures of her suited up were as non-existent as Bruce Wayne’s parents at a high school PTA meeting. Until today that is.

Creating that new suit was something that Insomniac had to do if they wanted to stand apart from all the other Spider-Man games that had come before them. How do you even build a costume that carries legacy, renewal and an iconic sense of self?

The X-Men's resident berserker has had some truly fantastic costumes over the years. His latest outfit in the upcoming Return of Wolverine mini-series, certainly isn’t one of them.

Actor Grant Gustin’s first trio of seasons saw him zipping around Central City in a Star Labs suit designed by Cisco, that was packed with life support gadgets and technology that allowed him to communicate with Team Flash, although the suit got a hefty upgrade in season 4. For season 5, that supersuit is getting its most comic book accurate upgrade yet.

You’ve seen noisy set photos of it! Badly-framed Instagram photos that you can’t unsee. Now prepare to see the mighty Shazam himself in an official light! Warner Bros. and DC Comics have finally lifted the lid on the Shazam pot, and what have they been cooking? Something that looks…marvellous.

Change is in the air, and with a marriage to none other than Gotham City’s most wanted bachelor/crime-punching vigilante, Catwoman is looking for a fresh start and an updated look as she tackles a new direction in life.
