Dumbest comic book character costume

It's ridiculing time, people. Which live action adaptations of comic book characters have had the worst looking costumes?

For my first nomination, I would like to bring up infamous nipple costumes from Batman and Robin.

Nolan Batman.
The mask made him look like he had the mumps, and his cape, a shower curtain held on by 2 refrigerator magnets.

What about Keaton, who couldn't even turn his head? 😆

Come to think of it, most live action Batman suits look crap.

Also, seeing as I didn't specify just movies, I would also like to nominate CW Martian Manhunter. IMO, he looks f****** ridiculous.

Rhino - Amzing spiderman 2
Silver Samurai - Wolverine 2
Joker - Suicide Squad

In the first Batman, Keaton at least looked imposing imo.

By DKR, I honestly felt like Bale's suit looked more like a high-end Halloween costume.

Yeah though, J'onn looks crap.

The 90s version? Because that one was awful.

Danny Rand's tattoo didn't work well live action.

Firestorm is awful.

The Black leather Xmen costumes?

Lundgren Punisher
Berry Catwoman

Yeah. Shaq's huge ass in clunky armor and a weird helmet.

Imposing to a point, but it was mixed with the silliness of having to always turn his body since he couldn't turn his head... Perfect Bat costume for the time, but it's aged imo.

Regarding Bale's, I will admit it didn't stick with me as a top preferred design like I thought it would long run. When rewatching a bit of TDK by a certain point (might've been before Rises even came out, don't remember now), I just further noticed how the front shape of the cowl just looks off and kinda dumb. The rest of the suit I still like what with the details on the chest and stuff, but eh... After Batman Begins, the lack of gadgets he used didn't really complement the suit much, y'know?

What's wrong with J'onn in Supergirl again? I've seen the complaints about how he's treated in the show like combat-wise, but Martian Manhunter has always been a jobber, even in Justice League. One of the more high-end powerful heroes, but a jobber nonetheless since he's usually never had that main character status.

This, definitely. Even worse was how the first film took shots at the source material with the "Well what would you prefer? A yellow spandex?" line, implying their generic black leather was better. I should've known even back then as a kid to say **** you Fox. At least they've gotten kinda better with costumes in recent times though, like with Psylocke and such imo.

That recent cast pic of the new Inhumans TV show has some good CRINGE Costumes....Especially for Medusa.

Do you mean the special effects for Firestorm? As that can be blamed on CW/DC having to spread it's FX budget around pretty liberally between 3 separate, FX heavy shows in Arrow, Flash, and Legends.

But if you mean the costume itself, then I'm gonna have to disagree. It's a pretty good modern interpretation of the Firestorm look. Thankfully they actually took out more of the classic comic parts because it would just look goofy on tv. Like the flared shoulders and that headpiece.

The Atom

Its Iron Man Jr. for cripes sake.

Atom suit is god awful yeah. The only similarities to the original is the color scheme and that he can shrink. The rest is just a copy/paste power armor.
