The Comic-Con 2009 Cosplay Gallery -- 600 Amazing Costumes

Witness a 600 photo gallery from this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Notes:

  • Heath Ledger Joker is past played out
  • Love the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh
  • A good Twi’Lek costume is great, but keeping all the bodypaint intact is tricky
  • I’m a huge sucker for the fashion design of the new Star Trek. Way hipper than TNG uniforms, but
  • I like that the girl in the Deanna Troi getup is keeping that look alive.
  • Maris Brood’s tonfa lightsaber is the worst lightsaber variant conceived thus far, and looks even more impractical in real life
  • Bravo for Umbrella Academy costumes
  • Robin costumes should be limited to 16-year-olds and younger
  • Nightwing’s costume doesn’t work in spandex. Should be leather, or whatever they make the movie X-Men outfits out of. And his mask looks stupid if you exaggerate its shape at all.
  • On page six there’s a bizarrely abstract girl Bumblebee Transformer cosutme with working headlights
  • Rogue’s ’90s green spandex with tiny brown leather jacket outfit makes no sense
  • Do the other Catwomen make fun of the girls in the Halle Berry tights?
