How do I find my Batman?

**Bluetree** · 10-17-2006, 08:07 AM

OK, so I get invited to this roadie's Halloween party. If you don't want to pitch in for the beer money, you have to ride your bike to the party in full costume. No problem. I don't drink beer and I like to dress up. So I say to the BF, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool of we went dressed as Batman and Robin? Imagine the two of us riding through town in full Superhero regalia, capes and all."

No go, BF is out of town that week. So l asked all the riding buddies to be my Batman, without any luck. The closest I found was a friend who would go with me, but only if he could be Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman and Robin?! That wouldn't work. Plus, I'm not a phobe or anything and I do live in a Blue State, but I question the safety of riding across town with a 220-lb. flaming black man with a five o'clock shadow, fake boobs and panty hose.

So, I ask... how does a Robin find her Batman? Any suggestions?

Personally I love the the idea of a guy dressed up as wonder woman. You could do a super hero theme-Hall of Justice and all that. Ummm, the Wonder Twins? Or are you set on being Robin?

I know, I think his costume idea is brilliant.

Hmmm... does Wonder Woman have a sidekick?

My Justice League memory isn't too good, but I think it was Superman, Batman, Robin, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and the Wonder Twins. Oh, and that stupid purple monkey! (Hey, there's an idea...)

Didn't she have a sister or something, from the same island?

Supergirl is Superman's cousin. Her real name is Kara. And she could kick Wonder Woman's a$$! She's usually blonde, but I wanted her to have black hair so I colored it with a sharpie. I also put the black cycling gloves on her.

Go with your Wonderwoman friend, and YOU should be batman.

OMG, thats great Lisa, I love that. He is wonderwoman and she is batman.

I love that Idea.

Well, upon pondering the thread title: "How do I find my Batman?"
I realized that the solutions we seek usually lie within us.

My husband and I did a similar thing one year. I was a football player and he was a cheerleader.

I borrowed football gear from a kid from middle school. Robert was the ugliest cheerleader ever! Platinum blonde wig, big brown mustache and really hairy legs!

Safety first, if he bursts into flames put him out, if he's already out then you must go go!!

You must do this and we want pictures!

Anyone else riding in costume on Halloween?

We were planning to, and my husband bought lights and glow sticks to decorate our bikes, but I think we may be out of town. Plus I can never think of a costume.

We used to dress up a lot. Our best year was the year that I was Glinda the Good Witch of the North, and he was the Wicked Witch of the West. (He has really long hair, so it worked.) We would do that one again but I can't fit into the pink poufy prom dress anymore.

These days my glasses tend to mess up any costume ideas I come up with.

the first thing that popped in my head of who could be Batman was...

a blow up doll?

I am soooo jealous. I would LOVE to go riding with a 220lb black male wonder woman. I'd ride with him (er her?) every day if I could. What could be more fun and scare off criminals? After all, would you tangle with someone who is clearly that crazy?

And why, I wonder, do you think a wonder woman costume is more "flaming" than tight matchy-matchy spandex in all colors of the rainbow?
