The Fantastic Form

If you're in the New York City area anytime between today, May 9th, and the first of September make sure to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art's new exhibit Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy.  The display of comic book-inspired bodysuits and authentic film wardrobes spans 70 years of history in print and on-screen since the debut of Superman in 1938, widely regarded as the first superhero costume design.  The presentation totals 60 outfits in all, including Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man 3 suit , with the museum space enshrined by Batman Begins production designer Nathan Crowley.  For those of us who revere animated heroes and their unique dress, the exhibition is escapist heaven; catch it while you can.

Ozzy Would Be Proud

Iron Man is the number one movie in America this week but ToyFare Magazine jump-started the superhero hype last month when they invited readers to submit photos of their homemade Tony Stark alter-ego costumes. Some were cheap and crude like the cardboard box-based outfits, one of which looked like an oversized LEGO character, while another fan chose to dress his dog up as the Marvel Comics character. The top entries were far more detailed and creative, with the winning design coming from Mike Haze of Topeka, Kansas. Wizard Universe compiled pictures and descriptions of the most impressive submissions, give a look at them by clicking here.
